Worst attack in years: Locusts reach UP's Jhansi, Punjab too on alert
After damaging crops in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, swarms of locusts entered Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi district Wednesday and could head towards Maharashtra's Ramtek city amid what is being described as the worst attack in 26 years. Punjab, usually unaffected by the menace, is also gearing up for the possibility of a locust attack.
