Bhubaneswar: The forecourt of Indira Gandhi Airport (IGI) airport was waterlogged as Delhi witnessed heavy rainfall on Saturday morning.

In visuals shared by news agency ANI, aircraft at the airport were seen partially flooded. With flight operations affected by bad weather, IndiGo, SpiceJet had asked the passengers to track their flight status before leaving for the airport.
