In a dramatic turn of events, heavy rainfall and strong winds wreaked havoc at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. The chaos ensued as a roof collapsed at the main airport terminal, tragically resulting in the loss of one life and the forced shutdown of a bustling domestic terminal. Survivors recount the horror of the canopy falling, smashing cars and pillars, leaving immense destruction in its wake amid the raging storm.

The incident, which occurred early on a rainy Friday morning, led to the evacuation of Terminal 1 and the grounding of flights as the authorities scrambled to assess the damage and ensure passenger safety. With the collapse of the terminal roof, six individuals were left injured, underscoring the grave risks posed by monsoon rains and infrastructure vulnerabilities at the airport.

As the news of the roof collapse spreads, questions arise regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's infrastructure challenges in transforming India into a global aviation hub. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the hurdles faced in upgrading the country's aviation facilities to meet international standards amidst unpredictable weather conditions.

In the aftermath of the tragic event, a thorough investigation has been launched by the aviation safety regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Minister Ram Mohan Naidu oversees the inspection, seeking to shed light on the causes behind the roof collapse and prevent similar incidents in the future.

As efforts to recover and rebuild continue, the Delhi airport roof collapse spotlights the urgent need for robust infrastructure planning and maintenance in the face of natural calamities. The incident underscores the crucial role of safety protocols and emergency response measures in safeguarding airport facilities and protecting lives during unforeseen disasters.
