Locusts and army-worms are reportedly causing havoc in Gorayo-hun area of Duruqsi district of Togdeer region.
It has been reported that in the last few days locusts have damaged the pastures and crops completely ravaging them.
Jama Omar, who is one of the resident farmers in the area, expressed strong concern about the effect of locusts on the pastures and crops that have seriously impacted negatively on the livestock.
He lamented that of late the animals have poisoned as a result of what they ingested in the affected pastures hence have caused many gestating animals to abort.
Jama said that locusts are widespread in the area and now that the large locusts were being compounded by another generation of hatched eggs which have further deteriorated the situation.
