In a shocking development, Rajkot Airport's canopy on Saturday collapsed due to incessant rains in the city. Rajkot Airport's canopy collapse came just one day after Delhi's Terminal T1 collapsed due to heavy rain. A day before the day, Jabalpur Aiport suffered a similar kind of incident when a canopy collapsed and fell on an income tax officer's car parked there. During the collapse, the income tax officer was not in his car.
A newswire wrote, "Canopy collapses at the passenger pickup and drop area outside #Rajkot airport terminal amid heavy rain."
Rajkot Airport's canopy collapse is similar to Jabalpur Airport. Talking about Jabalpur Airport, a part of a fabric canopy on the premises of the Dumna airport collapsed on Thursday due to the accumulation of water amid heavy rains and crushed a car parked below. No one was injured in the accident that occurred around 11.30 am "The fabric canopy was put up to beautify the 'drop and go' area. Water accumulated over it due to rain. It ripped under the weight of the water and the water fell with great force on a car parked there," airport director Rajeev Ratna Pandey was quoted saying by a newswire.
