Chennai: Four loaders suffered minor injuries after a portion of false ceiling came crashing down behind at around 12.45pm check-in counter near immigration area of international departure terminal at Chennai airport on Saturday.
The ceiling, a thin metal sheet, fell near a baggage conveyor used to transport bags from check-in counters to the loading area. Sources said that airline staff and security personnel had a miraculous escape because the accident happened at a lean time.
The loaders who were injured were taken to the health centre at the airport. Sources said all the injured were treated as outpatients. Airport director H S Suresh said, "It looks like the holding fasteners came off. The international terminal is due for maintenance. Work will be done after new terminals were opened. We will investigate and send a report soon."
