There have been incidents of structures like roofs and pillars collapsing at many airports across the country. Common people and aviation experts are blaming airport companies for this. Airport companies say that these structures collapsed due to bad weather like excessive rain, but others do not believe this. They say that perhaps there was some deficiency in construction, poor quality material was used to complete the work in a hurry or negligence was shown in maintenance.IIT-D probing Delhi airport accident
