Hyderabad: Heavy rainfall on Monday caused an unusual water leakage inside a terminal at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.
The downpour, which occurred between 1:10 p.m. and 2:00 p.m., brought approximately 35.2 mm of rain, with 17 mm falling in just 10 minutes, leading to water spilling into the terminal.
“We immediately inspected the roof, and there is absolutely no leakage, choking, water stagnation, or foreign objects on the roof,” the airport authorities said in a statement. “Our team is engaging with technical experts to ensure this spillage into the terminal does not happen again.”
The airport’s technical team responded promptly to the situation. No major disruptions to flight operations were reported, and the airport remains fully operational as efforts to address the issue continue..
