Now, at Terminal-1 of Delhi's IGI Airport, the canopy collapsed right in the middle of a heated political debate. "This structure was indeed built in 2009," Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu said while addressing rumors over its inauguration.
He clarified, "Delhi Airport (T1) roof collapse, Jabalpur airport roof collapse, Abysmal condition of Ayodhya's new roads, Ram Mandir leakage, Cracks in Mumbai Trans Harbour Link road, 13 new bridges falling down in Bihar in 2023 & 2024, Pragati Maidan Tunnel submerging, Morbi bridge collapse tragedy in Gujarat, ... are some stark instances which expose the tall claims by Modi ji and BJP of creating "World Class Infrastructure" !, wrote Kharge.
Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge had earlier attacked the government over the issue. "On March 10th, when Modi ji inaugurated the Delhi Ariport T1, he called himself "Doosri mitti ka insaan..." All this false bravado and rhetoric was only reserved for quickly indulging in ribbon-cutting ceremonies before Elections! Our heartfelt condolences to the victims of the Delhi airport tragedy. They bore the brunt of a Corrupt, Inept and Selfish Govt."
The Delhi Airport T1 roof collapse, the Jabalpur airport roof collapse—according to him, the entire list of infrastructure is lacking in the ruling BJP with regard to their promise of creating "World Class Infrastructure."
Kharge further referred to an incident wherein Modi had allegedly said, "Doosri mitti ka insaan" during the inauguration of Delhi Airport T1 on March 10 and termed all such actions as mere drama before elections.
Whereas Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu visited the Delhi Airport site and assured that comprehensive inspections and verifications would be made, "We have asked the Delhi International Airport Limited to do a verification and inspection from their side. But we are not leaving it up to them. From the Ministry, we have the DGCA, which underlooks the safety aspect, which will be supervising this inspection and will submit its report. From the ministry side, I can assure you that this is taken as a serious issue, not just in this airport but all across the country, with similar structures."
Referring to the serious approach the ministry is taking towards the issue, he said all similar structures at all airports in the country will be inspected.
One person has died and four others have been injured in a freak accident amid heavy rainfall on Friday at Delhi Airport's Terminal-1.
