00:01Some more news coming in.
00:02Showpiece Noida Airport hit by waterlogging.
00:05Noida Airport waterlogging images have gone viral.
00:10And Noida Airport parking area in water.
00:14As you can see in these visuals, that was the condition at the Noida Airport yesterday.
00:19And heavy rains led to red faces at the Noida Airport.
00:23Heavy rain leaves the parking access road completely flooded.
00:27Water piles up on the terminal parking connector.
00:30Airport staff rush in to clear the water.
00:33And the airport says that the water was cleared within 30 minutes.
00:37And that flight operations were not affected.
00:39But the viral video raises questions over the drainage facility at the Noida Airport.
00:44Which was inaugurated just a few months ago.
00:47And the Noida Airport team is also monitoring the situation 24-7.
00:53So that's how the situation at Noida Airport looks like after just months of its inauguration.
01:00And after an hour of heavy rain, this is what happened.
01:04It was completely flooded.
01:06The linking road was, the passage was flooded at the Noida Airport.
01:11And the Noida Airport claims that the water was cleared within 30 minutes.
01:15And that no flight operations were impacted.
01:18But despite those claims, the question still remains about the construction quality,
01:23about the drainage system present at the Noida Airport.
01:25And remember, it was built at a cost of over 11,000 crore rupees.
01:29And such images now emerging within months of its inauguration
01:35raises some very serious question on its design and construction.
01:43So the airport claims that the water was cleared within 30 minutes.
01:47But these images have completely gone viral on social media.
01:50And people are raising questions that,
01:52Is this an airport for airplanes or seaplanes?
01:55Remarks like those have now gone viral on these images and these videos of the Noida Airport.
02:03Remember, this is the condition of the airport after just an hour of heavy rain.
02:08And it was completely waterlogged.
02:11And these images have gone viral.
02:14This is the parking area which was completely flooded.
02:18My colleague Ashish Srivastav is now joining us with more details on this.
02:23Ashish, an airport that was built at a cost of over 11,000 crore rupees
02:29within months of its inauguration faces something like this.
02:32Completely waterlogged.
02:36Yeah, of course.
02:37This incident has taken place.
02:39The waterlogged incident occurred on the terminal parking route at Javay Airport.
02:42But after the clarification by the authorities that water had accumulated for some time after heavy rain
02:50and road become normally by the removing waterlogging in just 30 minutes only.
02:55The movement between terminal and parking is stored with the prompt action
02:59which has been taken by the airport authorities and movement of flight.
03:04And the passengers is smooth.
03:21Ashish, although the airport has taken place in the waterlogging situation,
03:25the under control and 30 minutes despite sudden heavy rain, it was a habit place.
03:33Ashish, although the airport is claiming that it was cleared within 30 minutes,
03:38no flight operations were impacted.
03:40But does that adequately address the concern?
03:43The concern is the infrastructure.
03:45Should it be waterlogged at all, even for 30 minutes?
03:49Of course, it was told by the airport authority that water had accumulated for some time after heavy rain.
03:57And that was a reason that would become normally by removing waterlogging in just 30 minutes
04:02because they are just talking about that whatever has taken place in that moment and waterlogging,
04:08we have done this within a 30 minute.
04:11And this is what the reason that some moment there was a situation occurred,
04:17but we have a control on the situation.
04:19What was the reason behind it?
04:21Also, we are identifying the movement and the things.
04:24Over to you.
04:25All right, Ashish, thank you for those details.
04:28So this is how the Noida airport looked like after just an hour of heavy rain.
04:34The parking area was waterlogged.
04:36And the justification from the airport is that we had cleared the water within 30 minutes
04:40and no flight operations were impacted.
04:42But the justification does not seem to be convincing at all
04:46because an airport that was built at a cost of over 11,000 crore rupees
04:50looks like this within just months of being operational.
04:54This is what it is.
