Within a decade this is the worst locust spread in India. After Cyclone Amphan and amid of fighting against Corona , these insects came as a huge trouble. Oh they aren't man eater of course but locust swarms devastate crops and cause major agricultural damage, which can lead to famine and starvation.

The major issue is that they tend to migrate and in such case they can travel far distances and cause much vast destruction. The real damage, however, is being caused and will be caused in rural India where farmers already bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 induced lockdown and the low prices they have fetched in the last few years, stare at massive crop damage that the locust swarms are capable of inflicting. which is like a curse in disguise.

To be extremely specific of the origin, through internet I discovered that The favorable conditions are moist sand and green vegetation in arid areas which were made available to the locusts in the desert region of Africa and Arabian Peninsula due to heavy rainfall that the region witnessed in 2019. They then migrated to India via Iran and Pakistan.

People are twitting that this might turn into last year for mankind. we have to rebuild everything after this year. Please someone restart the year and so on....
For now I can just pray for people who are suffering and hope everything turns out to be fine soon.
And hope you all are staying cautious and safe from the virus.

Sort:  

have you actually seen any of this? That is terrifying.

It is close to Delhi NCR, where I live, here an alert has been initiated to official departments, they are migrating from Rajasthan to here now, probably in few days I might witness them as well.
It indeed is terrifying.
