Gujarat is under attack from hoppers — new-born locusts — that have flown in across the international border. As the swarms mature, they have ravaged farms in North Gujarat, devastating farmers in the three border districts Banaskantha, Patan and Kutch.
According to farmer sources in Palanpur in Banaskantha, the government measures are inefficient as it is based primarily on the traditional methods - beating the drums, steel thalis with belan (rolling sticks), playing loud DJ music during the day time.
