Assam: Rainwater pours through ceiling of Guwahati airport's passenger lounge
What's the story
Rainwater gushed through the ceiling inside the passenger lounge area of Guwahati airport in Assam following heavy showers yesterday but no flight operations were affected, an airport official said today. The torrential downpour from 8:45 pm to 10 pm caused water to enter through the newly expanded canopy of the passenger lounge, PK Tailong, the Manager of the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, said.

"We had recently expanded the canopy and it was an initial teething problem. I was present there and it was immediately attended to," Tailong said. Passengers claimed they were drenched by the rainwater and many of them had to move away with their luggage. The official, however, said that no machinery was damaged and all the scheduled flights operated as usual last night.
