The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Friday lashed out at the central government for the roof collapse incident at Delhi Airport's Terminal 1, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assurances were 'crumbling.'

Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu announced a thorough investigation into the roof collapse that resulted in the death of one person and injuries to six others. 'A Glimpse into PM Modi's 'Guarantee': Crumbling under his lies,' the TMC stated in a social media post.

'The roof at Delhi Airport's T1 collapsed, which Modi hastily 'inaugurated' in March, despite its unfinished state, just for election optics,' the TMC added on its X handle post.

Naidu also mentioned that a comprehensive inspection of the airport structure would be conducted.

Government sources revealed that the roof that collapsed at Terminal-1 was constructed during 2008-09, with the work contracted out by GMR to private contractors. T1 is currently used for domestic flights by IndiGo and SpiceJet, and the entire airport manages around 1,400 flight movements daily.
