Delhi airport roof collapse causes chaos: Not just the balcony of Terminal 1 of Indira Gandhi International Airport, but almost the entire roof of the forecourt area has collapsed. Nine people have been seriously injured in this accident and one person has lost his life. Terminal 1 of Delhi Airport, which has been in the news since the first day of its construction, is once again under the scanner after this accident. This time the question is who is really responsible for this accident that happened on Friday morning?
Are those responsible who needlessly built this terminal, or those who changed the master plan of the airport and linked this terminal to the future of IGI Airport? Or those who gave the green signal for flight operations from this terminal just three months ago? GMR Airport Infrastructure Limited, which built Terminal One, is directly responsible for this accident, but some other agencies are also now under the scanner.
DGCA and BCAS are not out of the circle of questions
After this accident at Terminal One, the Director General of Civil Aviation, Bureau of Civil Aviation and Airport Authority of India officials are also in the dock, who had given the green signal to this terminal for passenger flight operation a few months ago. Let us tell you here that the terminal which was to be demolished by 2016, was made a part of Integrated Terminal One by changing the master plan in 2016, linking it to the future of Delhi Airport. Now the roof of a part of the terminal which is just 13 years old has become the cause of death of a young man.
Big question on maintenance of GMR airport infrastructure
After nearly seven years of expansion work, Terminal One was given a new look. It is obvious that during this expansion work, all the weak parts of this terminal must have been repaired and strengthened. Now, how well this effort was done, its example was seen after the first rain of this year in Delhi. Not only this, how well GMR Airport Infra, which claims to be the best airport in the world, was taking care of the terminal, is also now in front of everyone.
Was GMR Infra prepared for pre-monsoon?
This is not the first incident of the roof of Terminal One collapsing. Earlier also, the roof of Terminal One has come down to the ground with a few drops of rain. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of GMR Airport Infra to look for all the possibilities before the rains, which can become an obstacle for airport operations during the rains. The proof of how responsibly GMR Airport Infra performed this task came to the fore after the roof of Terminal One collapsed. Here, even the trouble of checking the drainage of water and the nut bolts of the pillars on the ceiling was not taken.
