Rajkot Airport: Canopy collapses amid heavy rainfall; third incident in three days

Canopy outside Gujarat's Rajkot airport terminal collapsed on Saturday due to heavy rainfall. This came just a day after the roof of New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport's terminal-1 collapsed, killing one person. Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a 'yellow alert' for South Gujarat, predicting the possibility of heavy showers on Saturday. "The cyclonic circulation over central Gujarat and its surrounding areas now lies over South Gujarat and extends up to 4.5 km above mean sea level, tilting southwards. Due to the aforementioned systems, Gujarat is very likely to experience an active wet spell over the next five days," the IMD stated in a release.
