For the last few days, heavy rainfall has been lashing the national capital. As a result, waterlogging has been witnessed in several areas. Even inside terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport, a pool of water was seen.

The airport officials reportedly said that one international flight and four domestic flights were diverted from Delhi to Jaipur and Ahmedabad. The airport authorities also apologized to the public for all the inconvenience that happened to them.
