Tragedy struck early Friday when a section of the roof at Delhi airport's Terminal-1 collapsed, killing one person and injuring five others amid heavy rains, Delhi Fire Services (DFS) officials confirmed.
A swift search operation was launched to ensure no individuals were trapped in the debris or damaged vehicles.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (IGI) Usha Rangnani stated that traffic headed to the T-1 departure area of Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport was rerouted at the CISF check post to T-1 arrival.
Three fire tenders responded promptly to the site after DFS received a distress call around 5:30 am. The collapse included support beams, which damaged several cars in the pick-up and drop area of the terminal.
The injured were transported to Medanta Hospital near the airport, where one succumbed during treatment. One individual was rescued from a vehicle on which an iron beam had fallen.
