A portion of the canopy at Gujarat's Rajkot Airport collapsed amid heavy rainfall on Saturday, June 29, following similar incidents at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal-1 and Jabalpur Airport. This marks the third such occurrence in a short span, raising concerns over airport infrastructure resilience in extreme weather conditions. The "unwanted hat trick" has angered netizens over safety and maintenance issues. "Incidents like these create an atmosphere of fear among people about all the public infrastructure. Anything could fall anytime. Safety audit by independent & efficient Panel must be mandatory for each building every year," one user posted on X, formerly Twitter.

'Safety Audit Needed'
That’s true. Incidents like these create an atmosphere of fear among people about all the public infrastructure. Anything could fall anytime. Safety audit by independent & efficient Panel must be mandatory for each building every year. https://t.co/2iOU5XayaX

Rajkot Airport Canopy Collapses
If the canopy of the airports are getting teared away, then, it may not be infrastructure collapsing ...but is a question mark on the way the private operator and the contractor has conducted itself...! Yes... A safety audit is then necessary..

Does It?
Events should make us think how we audit big infrastructure.
But we are divided on who laid the foundation stone.
Does it matter.
Imagine there’s food poisoning will you look at kitchen or ask where did the seed come from.

Netizens Furious Over Airport Incidents
Wish all political parties were as hawkish about public infrastructure audit as they are about counting of votes! 🙄
Needed:
An Independent, strong, non-partisan agency / committee/ experts group (has representatives of all political parties) to audit all public infrastructure…
