The administration and farmers are sleepy due to the entry of grasshopper parties in Braj. On Saturday, when locust crews passed through several areas including Ladukheda, Pinahat in Agra district, there was a panic on the information of two more teams entering on Sunday. However two turned to Madhya Pradesh. Due to this, now the danger in Agra has reduced. Meanwhile, in Mathura, Firozabad and Kasganj districts, there is a stir among the farmers from the influx of grasshoppers.
On Sunday, some locusts from a locust party passed through trees in Ladukheda, Pinahat in Agra district. Teams of the Agriculture Department sprayed them with insecticides and eliminated them. The department has issued an alert looking into the possibility of locust attack. Farmers have also taken to the fields to protect the crops from grasshoppers.
District Agriculture Officer Dr. Rampravesh Verma said that due to changing wind direction, the attitude of five locust teams moving towards Dhaulpur and Karauli towards Agra has turned towards Madhya Pradesh. Two of these locusts have also entered the border of Madhya Pradesh. Due to this there is very little possibility of locust teams entering the district.
