Noida Airport Underpass Submerged After Rain, Water Cleared
Rain Leaves Noida International Airport Underpass Submerged; Authorities Say Water Cleared In 30 Minutes · freepressjournal.in

Imagine it rained very hard near an airport, and a small road under the ground filled up with water.

This road, called an underpass, is the path people use to reach the parking lot after leaving the airport.

Because of the rain, several feet of water covered the road, and passengers had trouble getting to their cars.

Some people took videos of the flooded road and shared them on the internet.

Many people started asking why the airport did not have a better way to handle rainwater.

The airport is very new—it has only been open for about two months.

The people who run the airport said the water was removed within about 30 minutes.

When the water was still there, the underpass looked like a little water park.

This event made many people pay attention to how well the airport handles heavy rain.
