powerful dust storm followed by intense showers and hail lashed Delhi on Wednesday evening, severely impacting flight operations and ground traffic across the city. The sudden weather shift brought travel disruptions, emergency landings, and a dramatic dip in temperatures.

In the early hours of Saturday, Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) resumed normal flight operations after temporary disruptions due to heightened security in response to ongoing military tensions between India and Pakistan.

The ongoing construction work on one of the runways at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, which has caused severe flight delays and operational disruptions over the past two weeks, is set to be halted.

The decision follows a recent advisory committee meeting where a consensus was reached on the need for a temporary pause due to the scheduling chaos at the airport.
