A roof at Delhi airport collapsed after heavy rain, resulting in one fatality and injuring four others.
Videos online show large pillars supporting the roof crashing into cars parked along the airport’s Terminal 1.
All departures from the terminal have been temporarily suspended, and check-in counters have been closed.
The incident occurred at 05:00 (23:30 GMT Thursday), according to authorities.
Rescue operations are ongoing at the airport, and the injured are receiving treatment in hospitals.
India’s aviation regulator has advised airlines to accommodate passengers on alternate flights or offer refunds.
Federal Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu announced a compensation of 2 million rupees ($24,000; £19,000) for the family of the deceased and 300,000 rupees for the injured.
He assured reporters that the situation was under control, and inspections were underway to prevent further incidents. He added that airports with additional structures across the country would also be inspected.
The incident sparked criticism on social media, with many users noting that the terminal had recently undergone extensive renovations costing billions of rupees and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in March, just before the recent general election began.
However, Mr. Kinjarapu later clarified that the collapsed portion was not part of the renovated section.
