The canopy at Rajkot Airport’s pick up and drop area collapsed on Saturday morning amid heavy rains, marking the third such incident across the country in three days. The incident is followed by canopy collapses at the Jabalpur Airport in Madhya Pradesh and Delhi Airport’s T1 on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
“Preliminary information indicates no injuries or casualties were reported. Gujarat is currently experiencing heavy rainfall as the southwest monsoon is advancing further into the state,” said sources from Rajkot airport. “Amid the forecast of heavy to very heavy rainfall in some areas, seven teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been deployed in Kutch, Rajkot, Devbhoomi Dwarka, Gir Somnath, Bhavnagar, Narmada, and Valsad districts,” said sources from NDRF.
