“We faced the worst locust invasion in the last two decades and decided to declare a state of emergency in the country to deal with this threat,” said Pakistani Information Minister Firdus Ashik Avan.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has already promised to provide all possible assistance to farmers.
