NEW DELHI (AP) — Part of a departure terminal canopy at New Delhi’s main airport has collapsed as monsoon rains lashed the Indian capital, killing one person and injuring six others. Flight departures at Terminal 1 were suspended as rescuers cleared the debris to rescue anyone trapped there. Terminal 1 is used for domestic operations at the airport. The Press Trust of India news agency says that in addition to the roof, some support beams also collapsed, damaging cars in the pickup and drop-off area of the terminal. Friday’s rain was the first big shower of the monsoon season in New Delhi. It flooded streets, causing traffic snarls.
