Lightning strike at IGI Airport: Two passengers admitted to hospital, one of them a foreigner and critical

Two people were injured after lightning struck the IGI Airport on Thursday evening. The incident happened amidst the heavy rainfall that started in the national capital yesterday. The injured were immediately rushed to a well-known hospital in the state, one of which was a foreigner- who also happens to be critical.

The rainfall that set winters in the national capital in full motion affected normal life as cold winds affected routines, forcing the public to stay indoors most of the time. Additionally, the rainfall also affected air travel as a large number of flights were cancelled or diverted due to the situation at hand. It was also reported that Air India and Vistara flights were affected the most.
The disruption of flights was confirmed by Air India in a tweet that said, “two flights to Jaipur and few others were been held up at the Delhi airport due to heavy rains and consequent congestion.” Another tweet also mentioned that five Vistara flights were diverted to Ahmedabad and one to Amritsar. The move was initiated due to bad weather in Delhi.

IGI Airport had, in a statement, also said that the rains impacted the airport operations. The statement further asked the travellers to contact airlines for further information and apologised for the inconvenience to the passengers.
