G GOWTHAM
After all departing flights were moved to Terminals 2 (T2) and 3 (T3), Civil Aviation minister Kinjarapu ram mohan Naidu visited the airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC) to assess the current situation and passenger handling in the wake of the deadly roof collapse at Terminal 1 (T1) of the indira gandhi International airport (IGI) in Delhi.
Naidu convened a meeting with high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, delhi International airport Limited (DIAL), Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), and airline representatives. The goal of the discussions was to guarantee a seamless passenger experience and efficient operations at this time of change. "The DGCA confirmed the activation of war rooms, facilitating close coordination between DIAL and the airlines," Naidu said in a post on X.

This will guarantee prompt correspondence and tackle any obstacles resulting from the heightened passenger traffic at T2 and T3. The Union minister emphasised throughout the meeting how crucial it is to uphold the highest standards of passenger safety. According to Naidu, all parties involved should put the welfare of passengers first and cooperate to provide a smooth travel experience. The study was prompted by last Friday's intense rains, which caused part of the canopy over the T1 departure area to cave in. A taxi driver lost his life in the event, while many other persons were hurt.
