India sees worst locust attack in past 27 years

India is witnessing an attack from across the border. No, it's not the usual run-of-the-mill terror threat. It's the locusts who have come from Pakistan and wreaked havoc in the life of Indian farmers.

Every year, when these locust hordes would arrive, they would be stopped and contained in Rajasthan and Punjab. But this year, they have been able to reach Madhya Pradesh and raised alarm in Uttar Pradesh and Telangana making it the worst locust attack in 27 years. Watch this report.
