On June 28, the roof of Delhi Airport's Terminal 1 collapsed following heavy rains, resulting in the death of one person and serious injuries to more than six others.
The collapse also caused significant damage to parked taxis and other vehicles within the airport premises.
In the aftermath of the incident, all flights were suspended, causing considerable inconvenience to both domestic and international passengers.
Additionally, the airport is now facing severe pollution issues with inadequate cleaning and drainage arrangements.
The incident has highlighted the vulnerability of India's infrastructure, with recent rains exacerbating the situation.
Despite prior warnings from the administration about potential threats to large-scale infrastructure, the Modi government prioritized the rapid construction and inauguration of the airport, reportedly overlooking international construction standards and material quality.
As the government focuses on other priorities, the question remains whether it will address the pressing infrastructure issues or wait for further damage to occur.
