Strong winds and heavy rains blew off a part of the roof of the newly constructed Terminal 1D of the Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport.
The water filled the terminal and flight operations were disrupted due to heavy rains in the capital on Friday. The Airport terminal was constructed by a JV headed by GMR Infrastructure.
A DIAL (Delhi International Airport Limited) spokesperson said that over 20 flights got delayed and ten flight were diverted. The maintenance team is working on the war footing to clear the water and restore the displaced sheets of the roof, he added.
Just last month, IGI airport faced a trying when as result of heavy downpour, there was water logging of the airport approach roads and into the domestic arrival terminal as well.
DIAL is a joint venture of Bangalore headquartered GMR Group, Airports Authority of India, Fraport and Malaysian Airport Holdings. Just last month, DIAL had assured of proper steps being taken ahead of monsoon to prevent flight disruptions.
