Some guests of the State Guest House here, including the state Advocate General had to flee their rooms as swarms of locusts entered there rooms, police reports said.
Rochana, a local journalist of Lunglei town told PTI over phone that vehicular traffic came to a stand still in Lunglei on Tuesday night as the oil coming out from the locusts killed by the cars on the main road made it too dangerous to drive.
People had to sweep the road to make it possible for the vehicles to ply again.
Horticulture scientists, who studied the outbreak, opined that the outbreak might be caused by a week's dry days after monsoon sets in.
