Australian Government asks 5,000 litres of poison from India

Menace of rats rampant in Australia

Sydney (Australia) – Currently, biblical plague has been declared in Australia due to rampant rat population. Australian Government has asked Indian Government to supply 5,000 litres of ‘Bromadiolone’ poison. One report states that rats are found in farms, houses, schools and hospitals. People are in severe distress and many are falling sick. Farmers in Australia are in great distress as rats are destroying their crops. They are biting people sleeping in bed. A family blamed rats when their house caught fire; because rats had bitten the wire and the house was on fire due to short circuit.

स्वचक्रं परचक्रं च सप्तैता ईतय: स्मृता: ॥ – कौशिकपद्धति

Meaning : Due to not abiding by Dharma, seven kinds of calamities come over a nation, namely, excessive rains, draught, tropical grasshoppers attack, menace of rats, parrots menace, internal conflicts and enemy’s attack. In short, subject and king, both need to be abiding by Dharma and performing spiritual practice. Then only the severity of distressing period will decrease or distressing period will be tolerable.
