African countries were the original locust breeding centres. It used to take a lot of time to come to India from Africa, but from last year they made their breeding centres on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. As the Pakistani government did not take any efforts to control them, so now the attacks are taking place frequently.
On Sunday night, a swarm of locust entered in some house's as well. Many trees and farms were also destroyed by them.

Agriculture commissioner said that the locust attack has destroyed more than 37 thousand hectors of area. A similar attack took place last year. Several measures are been taken to get rid of this locusts. In many district's they have sprayed the chemicals on the crops. He also said compensation of 150 crores is also sanctioned by the government. They are also taking the help of fire brigades as the locusts have started sitting up on the higher altitudes to save themselves from the chemicals. Because of this even other states are put on high alert.
