The Prime Minister referred the question of the resignation of the Director-General of the Royal Rainmaking Department, who was subsequently transferred to the position of Inspector-General after allegedly citing his inability to comply with political policies, to Suriya.

According to Thai News Agency, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul commented on the resignation of Rachen Silapraya, former Director-General of the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation, before his term ended, after being transferred to the position of Inspector-General.
