A roof collapsed under heavy rainfall and winds at the main airport in India’s capital New Delhi on Friday, killing one person and leading to the cancellation of flights from a domestic terminal, officials said.

The entire terminal, one of three at the country’s busiest airport, has been evacuated and an inquiry ordered into the collapse, said the minister, Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu. Eight injured people were taken to hospital and the rescue operation had been completed, said Atul Garg, the director of Delhi Fire Service.
