Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu confirmed on Saturday that a war room has been formed to ensure refunds or alternate flights for passengers affected by the Delhi Airport canopy collapse incident. A structural preliminary inspection will be conducted at every airport in the nation, according to Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, who also pledged preventive measures in the wake of the roof collapse incident at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal-1.
In addition, he attacked the opposition Congress for misinformation and small-minded politics regarding the horrible event. 'I am a little surprised that the opposition wants to play politics on this issue by claiming it is a terminal inaugurated by PM Modi, but it is fake news,' he stated.
The Minister assured to take necessary proactive measures to ensure such incidents won't occur in the future.
He also expressed his condolences on the loss of life in the canopy collapse incident at Delhi Airport Terminal 1.
Expressing his condolences, Ram Mohan Naidu said, "The incident that happened at the Delhi airport is very tragic and I offer my condolences to the one individual who lost his life.
Some people were injured also in the incident, they have been taken to the hospital and their treatment is underway."
He further said that the situation has been taken under control.
"We have taken control of the situation and as soon as the incident was reported, all the emergency response teams including teams of NDRF and CISF immediately went to the spot and engaged in the relief operations to prevent any further damage."
The Minister guaranteed a refund within seven days or alternate flights for those whose flights were canceled.
Citing the proactive measures taken by the Civil Aviation Ministry, Naidu stated, "For now, Terminal-1 is completely closed and evacuated. All the flight movements have been shifted to Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. For those people whose flights have been canceled, they are being given either a refund or an alternate flight. The Civil Aviation Ministry has decided to pass a circular to provide refunds to the people within seven days."
