Less than a year after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Rajkot International Airport (RIA) at Hirasar village, a section of the roof canopy in the terminal’s passenger drop and pickup area collapsed following heavy rain on Saturday.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported and airport operations were not affected.
This incident follows a similar roof collapse at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after record rainfall.
The temporary terminal, still under construction, experienced a canopy failure due to water accumulation.
RIA officials are conducting an inquiry and will submit a detailed report to the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
