ARGAKHANCHI: Locust swarms that entered Nepal through neighboring India reached Argakhanchi district.

These insects have been spotted in villages of some municipalities and rural municipalities–Subarnakhal, Siddhadhara, Thadadaha, Amarai, Kopchibas, Bhedamare, Simalpani, Jukena, Sitapur, Jhira and Mahendra, Dhanchaur, Dhikura, Dhakawang, Nuwakot, Kimdanda, Panini and Malarani Sandhikharka, said the local people.
