+
+## Summary
+[locust](https://locust.io/) is an open-source load testing. LitmuChaos already supports k6 load testing, but only for the JavaScript language. On the other hand, locust supports writing scripts for Python code, giving users a wider choice. 
+
+## Motivation
+Locust is a load testing tool that supports Python code. It supports various [protocols (HTTP, GRPC)](https://docs.locust.io/en/stable/testing-other-systems.html
+) and [plugins](https://github.com/SvenskaSpel/locust-plugins?tab=readme-ov-file#users
+). Having a wide range of choices when it comes to choosing a load test will help users a lot. 
+
+
+### Goals
+
+- Adding a 'locust' Chaos Fault to [Litmus ChaosHub](https://hub.litmuschaos.io/)
+- Fixing [litmus-go](https://github.com/litmuschaos/litmus-go) and [chaos-charts](https://github.com/litmuschaos/chaos-charts) codes
+
+### Non-Goals
+
+## Proposal
+
+### Use Cases
+
+Detail the things that people will be able to do if this is `implemented`.
+
+#### Use case 1
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+This is a Locust Chaos Fault Scenario.
+

+
+1. Add scenario to the litmus-go repository
+2. Add a new Chaos Fault to the Litmus ChaosHub
+
+## Risks and Mitigations
+
+We need to grant proper RBAC permissions to the runner container. Granting override permissions may affect other systems.
