WATCH: Rain water gushes through ceiling in Guwahati airport

A video of rainwater gushing through the ceiling inside the passenger lounge area of Guwahati airport has gone viral on social media. 

The video shows water showering from the ceiling as it entered in the baggage area as the airport officials tried to handle the situation. 

The Twitterati were definitely not amused by the viral video of water pouring down from the newly-built ceiling in the international airport in Guwahati.

"PM Modi should directly intervene and inquiry must be instituted," posted one Twitter user.

"Modernised Guwahati airport flooded !! Who is responsible for wasting public money and where is the corruption?," another Twitter user posted.

#Guwahati #Airport is the main gateway to northeast with international flights. If this be the state of affairs, what can one expect of others. Hope the contractors are apprehended for such tardy work. @AAI_Official pic.twitter.com/BPOWB603rX

There were heavy showers on Monday but no flight operations were affected, an airport official said on Tuesday.

Torrential downpour from 8.45 pm to 10 pm caused water to enter through the newly expanded canopy of the passenger lounge, P K Tailong, the manager of the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, told PTI.

"We had recently expanded the canopy and it was an initial teething problem. I was present there and it was immediately attended to," Tailong said.

Passengers claimed they were drenched by the rainwater and many of them had to move away with their luggage.

When asked whether the luggage x-ray screening machines were affected, the official said that no machinery was damaged.

"All the scheduled flights operated as usual last night," the airport manager said.
