Locust plague in Bangladesh blinding drivers

CHITTAGONG: Swarms of locusts’ blinded drivers, halting traffic along a 40 km stretch of a highway linking Dhaka to the southern port of Chittagong, police said on Sunday.

Masses of insects started hitting windscreens around midnight on Saturday, forcing dozens of trucks and buses to stop on the highway for up to four hours, a Chittagong police officer said. reuters
