The airport’s operations have been severely disrupted, leading to significant inconvenience for travelers as flights have been delayed or canceled. Passengers have been advised to check with their respective airlines for updates on their travel plans.

The sudden deluge caught airport authorities off guard, and they have been working tirelessly to manage the crisis and minimize disruption. However, despite their efforts, the torrential downpour has caused widespread waterlogging, affecting both the terminal buildings and the runway.
