NEW DELHI (AP) — A portion of the canopy at a departure terminal of New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport collapsed early Friday as heavy pre-monsoon rains lashed the Indian capital, killing one person and injuring six others, officials said.
All flight departures from Terminal 1 were temporarily suspended as rescuers cleared the debris to rescue anyone trapped there, the airport authority said.
The collapse occurred in the domestic departure area of Terminal 1, the main terminal of New Delhi’s main airport.
The fire services control room said the injured were taken to a hospital.
