Delhi Airport<\/strong>, India, collapsed following a night of heavy rainfall that has led to the cancellation of dozens of flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;At around 5:00 a.m., the canopy outside Terminal 1 of the airport collapsed,&#8221; the airport&#8217;s deputy commissioner of police (DCP), Usha Rangnani, told Indian news agency ANI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;One person died and about six people were injured,&#8221; added the police officer, who said that all the injured are stable and that several teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) are on the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2024\/05\/u-s-screens-record-2-95-million-airline-passengers-in-a-day.html\">U.S. screens record 2.95 million airline passengers in a day<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All aircraft departures from Terminal 1 have been canceled until 14:00 (local time) and check-in counters have also been closed, New Delhi Airport said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although initially flights landing at that terminal remained operational for the first few hours, they were later moved to terminals 2 and 3, whose activity has not been affected, the airport added in a posting on the X social network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India&#8217;s aviation minister, Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu, told the media that they would launch &#8220;a thorough investigation&#8221; to find the reasons for the collapse, claiming it was due to a technical problem aggravated by heavy rains in New Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also announced compensation of 2 million rupees (about US$24,000) for the family of the deceased and 300,000 rupees (almost US$3,600) for the injured, reported EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related
