Good news for farmers who are busy sowing their Rabi crops as India is currently free from the presence of swarms of locusts. During the routine survey conducted during the last fortnight of October by the Locust Warning Organization-Jodhpur which is under the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, the country was found free from locust activities. Breeding of such grasshoppers too was not reported.
