KUALA LUMPUR: The Meteorology Department is studying the feasibility of cloud seeding to induce rain in areas which are currently affected by the haze, says the Deputy Prime MinisterDatuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said the department would also have to take into consideration the atmospheric condition of the affected areas."If aren't any, it will be meaningless," she told reporters at the Jalinan Kasih 2019 programme here Saturday .

"The National Disaster Management Agency and the state government will allocate some fund to get masks to the people," she said.
