Meanwhile, a portion of the roof collapsed on cars, including taxis, amid heavy rains at Terminal-1 of New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) early in the morning today, leaving at least six people injured. A search operation is underway to make sure no one else is trapped in the damaged vehicles. Following the incident, flight departures from Terminal-1 have been suspended.
