An official from the Civil Aviation Ministry said structural engineers were being engaged from IIT Delhi to do an independent assessment of the roof collapse incident at T1 and they are expected to complete the assessment in one month.

Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or casualties, according to preliminary information.

The collapse, which occurred around 5 am on Friday, led to the immediate closure and evacuation of Terminal 1, with all flight operations being redirected to Terminals 2 and 3.

Six people were injured after a portion of the roof of the Delhi airport's Terminal-1 fell on cars, including taxis, amid heavy rains early Friday, Delhi Fire Services (DFS) officials said.
