KANPUR: Amidst the fear of locusts entering the precincts of Jajmau here, the people were seen moving in the afternoon today. Even the repairing work in regard to the electricity pole was also carried by the labourers. It showed that common people have not been deterred by the lurking fear of the locust swarms.
The roads linking the Nai Chungi crossing were on like normal days. Though the sunny sun was shining brightly there was no hesitation in beating the intense heat.
The shops remained open and the people were purchasing what they required at the moment.
One young woman said the locusts usually approach towards the fields. These do not disturb the people staying inside the house. However, there remains some chance of the entry of locusts, she added instantly.
