One Dead After A Dekhi Airport Roof Collapsed

A roof at Delhi airport has collapsed after heavy rain, killing one person and injuring four others.

Videos online show huge pillars supporting the roof smashing into cars parked along the airport’s Terminal 1.

All flights from the terminal have been temporarily suspended and check-in counters have been closed.

The incident took place at 05:00 (23:30 GMT Thursday), authorities said.

Rescue operations are under way at the airport and the injured are being treated in hospitals.

India’s aviation regulator has advised airlines to accommodate passengers on alternate flights or offer them refunds.

The accident has impacted travel plans of thousands, as most domestic flights take-off from Terminal 1.

Some airlines have shifted flight operations to the remaining two terminals at the airport.
