New Delhi: Incessant rain in the capital on Saturday claimed the life of a five-year-old boy in south Delhi’s Mehrauli area. It also proved to be a nightmare for motorists as massive traffic jams were reported on Saturday from all over of the city.
The rain also flooded the forecourt of the arrival area of IGI airport, causing inconvenience to passengers coming out of Terminal 3.
There was, however, no disruptions in other airport operations, as there was water logging only at the arrival area of the airport, officials said.Flight operations at the airport largely remained unaffected. A Malaysian Airline flight arriving here from Kuala Lumpur was diverted to Ahmedabad.
As the rain reduced visibility at the runway, four flights arriving here were asked to take a go-around.
A spokesperson from Delhi International Airport Limited, which operates and manages the airport, said despite heavy rain at the airport, all passenger facilities remain completely unaffected including the baggage belts. “All flight operations are fully normal at the moment except one flight which was diverted and four flights had to go around for a few minutes,” he said.
