The canopy at Rajkot Airport’s pick-up and drop area collapsed over the weekend, amidst heavy rain making this the third such incident in the country in three days. The incident was followed by canopy collapses at the Jabalpur Airport in Madhya Pradesh and Delhi Airport’s T1 on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

While there were no injuries or casualties reported in the Rajkot incident, there is a forecast of very heavy rainfall in some areas, with seven teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) deployed in Kutch Valsad districts and elsewhere.
