It was a fault in its structure that made a part of the roof
of the new domestic terminal, 1D, of the Indira Gandhi International
Airport blow off on August 21 due to strong winds and leak in several
places, said a source at the airport. Flight

30 minute heavy downpour. There was flooding in the new
terminal 1D because the ceiling leaked at several places and a part of
the roof near Gate 14 had crashed.
