Winding up the debate on locusts in the National Assembly on Thursday, Minister for National Food Security and Research Syed Fakhr Imam said the government was keeping a vigil on the movement of swarms of desert locusts entering Pakistan from four countries: Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti via Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iran.
He said that new swarms of desert locusts would enter Balochistan from Iran over the next two weeks, adding that the province was already the worst-hit with its 33 districts already invaded by insects.
In Balochistan, he said, ground operation against locusts had been carried out over 85,000 hectares by ground teams and aerial sprays had been carried out over 500 hectares.
The Minister added that the federal government was in close coordination with the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) which was keeping Pakistan informed on a daily basis on the movement of locust swarms in the region.
