Federal Minister for Food Security and Research, Syed Fakhar Imam says federal and provincial governments are jointly working to eliminate locusts for preventing masses from financial losses.

Chairing a meeting in Mithi, he said like other countries locusts will be eliminated in Pakistan also with surveys and timely spray which are two major components of anti locusts strategy.
