KUALA LUMPUR: Cloud seeding operations carried out must be effective and as they are an expensive and complex exercise, says Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

"For that, we need to look at the condition of the clouds, the wind and several other appropriate variables before any cloud seeding operation," said the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister.
