Severe Weather Conditions Impact Delhi-NCR, Disrupt Flight Operations

Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms affected several areas of Delhi-NCR on March 18, causing significant disruptions, including delays in flight services. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued warnings for adverse weather conditions in the region, anticipating thunderstorms and intense rainfall.

In areas like Noida and Gurugram, residents experienced strong winds and reduced visibility due to the downpour. The adverse weather led to the cancellation or delay of numerous flights at Indira Gandhi International Airport, prompting the airport authorities to advise travelers to check their flight status before heading to the terminal.

Local authorities are monitoring the situation and have urged citizens to exercise caution while traveling. They are also prepared to respond to any incidents related to flooding or tree falls, which are common during such weather events. Residents are encouraged to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve. The IMD continues to monitor the weather and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
