Govt agrees to three-day cloud seeding operation for K'tan, says Zahid

PUTRAJAYA: The government has agreed to carry out a cloud-seeding operation in Kelantan from June 21 to 23 to address the depletion of the Kelantan River and to mitigate the impact of the hot weather phenomenon and the Southwest Monsoon, which is expected to persist.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also chairman of the Central Disaster Management Committee (JPBP), said this follows a request by the Kemubu Agricultural Development Authority (KADA), coordinated through the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma), the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry, the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia), and the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF).
