A swarm of locusts has hit Gurugram on Saturday. The attack comes a day after the administration's warning to Gurugram residents of the same. According to various reports, the locusts are likely to enter Delhi by Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
Apparently, the Gurugram administration is sounding sirens and blowing horns to make noises so that the locusts don’t settle on green vegetation and destroy them. On Friday, Gurugram administration reportedly warned its residents about the attack, urging them to keep their windows shut as a precautionary measure. The administration also asked them to make clanging noise by beating utensils to repel the crop-eating insects.
