Locusts won’t attack state, says TNAU

Though the agriculture department has ordered a survey to check for presence of desert locusts in the state, entomologists in Tamil Nadu Agricultural University say the desert locust swarm is unlikely to hit the state. They say this assumption is based on wind direction, which is what moves the locusts from one place to the next. They say the swarm which is now in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh may not move towards Tamil Nadu.
