Rahul Srivastav, a senior police officer from Uttar Pradesh, shared the 30-second clip on Twitter. The video shows loud music coming out of the DJ setup standing right in the middle of the farm. 
 
"The DJ is effective not only for dancing and partying but also for warding off attacks by locust swarms. Days change! You can make sounds or even beat the plates. #DiscJockey #Locustswarm #locustswarms #Locusts #Locustsattack #LocustInvasion #LocustSwarmsAttack", he wrote while sharing the video.

डीजे सिर्फ़ नाच गाने के लिये ही नहीं बल्कि टिड्डी दल भगाने में भी कारगर होता है ।

दिन सबके बदलते हैं !

आप मुँह से आवाज़ निकाल सकते हैं या थाली भी पीट सकते हैं ।#DiscJockey #Locustswarm #locustswarms #Locusts #Locustsattack #LocustInvasion #LocustSwarmsAttack pic.twitter.com/zUcpYiJTGb
