Delhi airport’s forecourt waterlogged, 3 flights cancelled, 5 diverted due to heavy rains
The forecourt of the Delhi airport was waterlogged, three flights were cancelled and five diverted to Jaipur and Ahmedabad as heavy rains lashed the national capital early on Saturday morning.
Various videos of the Delhi airport were posted on social media sites that showed cars submerged in water in the forecourt.
The videos also showed people either wading through the water to reach the entry gate of the airport or standing on raised areas to avoid water.
Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Twitter he spoke to airport officials and “was told that the waterlogged forecourt was cleared up within 30 minutes”.
