Eleven dead in New Delhi Indian after heavy rain, flight operations stutter

The death toll from this week's heavy rain in New Delhi has risen to 11, with four fatalities reported due to drowning in submerged underpasses, according to the Times of India. The city experienced its heaviest rainfall in decades on June 28, exceeding the average monthly rainfall in just one day. The torrential downpour caused a fatal roof collapse at one of Delhi's airport terminals, leading to flight disruptions, flooded underpasses, and widespread traffic congestion. Approximately 60 flights were cancelled at the main airport, primarily affecting Terminal 1, used by carriers like IndiGo and SpiceJet.
