The State government will consider cloud seeding if the monsoon rain is delayed beyond a week, Agriculture Minister N. Cheluvarayaswamy said on Monday.
He was speaking to journalists after a monsoon review meeting at the Zilla Panchayat Hall in Belagavi.
He said that the State government is in receipt of reports from various departments and agencies that indicated that delayed rain is affecting agriculture activities across the districts. If this situation continues, “we will see whether we can opt for cloud seeding,” he said.
