Taking a serious note of the power outage at Indira Gandhi International Airport, which led to the delay of around 80 flights, the government today said it would constitute a committee to probe the electricity failure.
“The government will form a five-member committee to probe Sunday's power failure at Delhi airport,” the Civil Aviation Minister, Mr Vayalar Ravi, told reporters outside Parliament.
A five-hour power cut had brought operations at IGI airport's swanky T3 terminal to a standstill yesterday, delaying around 80 domestic and international flights.
The T3 terminal, which completed its first anniversary this July, had plunged into darkness between 1.25 and 5.45 am when one of the transformers tripped following an electrical snag.
Following the tripping, the power supply to entire building was disrupted and operations of baggage handling system, passenger boarding (aero)bridges, piers, escalators and travelators came to a standstill.
