The Arjundhara municipality of Jhapa has allocated a budget of Rs. 500,000 to purchase locust. The budget has been set aside in order to minimize the damage from locust to the agriculture sector, said Mayor Hari Kumar Rana.

Furthermore, the municipality will pay anyone collecting and bringing the locusts to the office Rs 100 per kilogram. The municipality plans to then sell the locust to the feed industries for Rs 50 per kg, to be produced as animal feed. "It is an effort to minimize the possible damage," Mayor Rana said.
