Heavy rains continue to lash parts of Delhi and the national capital region for the second day in a row.
On Saturday morning, exceptionally heavy downpour in Delhi caused waterlogging inside Terminal 3 of the airport.
At 11.33 a.m., the Delhi airport officials apologised for the inconvenience caused to travellers and stated that water had reached the forecourt of Terminal 3 for a brief duration.
Four domestic flights and one international flight diverted from Delhi to Jaipur and Ahmedabad, due to heavy rainfall in the national capital, says Airport Official.
We regret the inconvenience caused. Due to sudden heavy rain, for a short period, there was waterlogging at the forecourt. Our team was immediately aligned to look into it and the issue has been resolved.
