Part of Roof Collapses at India’s Busiest Airport After Heavy Rains
At least one person was killed when parts of the roof caved in and crushed vehicles at Indira Gandhi airport in New Delhi, according to an official. All domestic departures were suspended.
As the affluent or the relatively upper strata starts to directly see issues, would the govt be forced to have better quality infra development?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Part of the roof at a terminal at India’s busiest airport collapsed early Friday amid heavy thunderstorms and rains, killing at least one person and injuring eight others, according to a fire official.
India’s minister of civil aviation said in a social media post that rescue operations were taking place Friday morning at Terminal 1 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi.
Photos and videos of the scene on social media and on local television showed that an expansive section of the overhang outside the airport had buckled onto the pavement of what appeared to be the pickup and drop-off area outside the terminal.
Delhi was hit with near-record rainfall in the 24 hours leading up to Friday morning, receiving close to nine inches of rain, according to the India Meteorological Department.
On Friday, opposition leaders were quick to accuse Prime Minister Narendra Modi of having rushed in March to unveil the expansion of the airport terminal where the collapse happened.
“All this false bravado and rhetoric was only reserved for quickly indulging in ribbon-cutting ceremonies before Elections!” Mallikarjun Kharge, president of the opposition Indian National Congress party, wrote on X.

No, they will just fix the roof and carry on as usual.
