NDTV
Around 5 am today, the roof sheet and the pillars supporting them came crashing down, killing one person, injuring at least six others, and affecting flight ops in one of the world's busiest airports.
The Civil Aviation Ministry, in an advisory this evening, has asked airlines to ensure there are no "abnormal surcharges" on flights to and from Delhi. This as Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport's Terminal 1 was forced to suspend operations after a portion of the roof in the departure complex collapsed.
"In view of the unfortunate incident at Terminal T1D IGIA, Delhi, all airlines are advised to monitor any abnormal surge in airfares to and from Delhi and take necessary action regarding the same. Further, cancellations and rescheduling of flights due to the incident may be done without penal charges," the ministry said in a post on X.
