Rewa Airport Boundary Wall Collapses In Heavy Rain

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Rewa airport boundary wall has collapsed due to heavy rain on Saturday. The boundary wall of the airport was built at a cost of Rs 300 crore. PM Narendra Modi had inaugurated it on October 24, 2024. On the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, a large part of the boundary wall of Rewa airport collapsed due to rain. After this, water also filled inside the airport. Rewa recorded 205mm rainfall.

Airport Director AK Mandal informed Free Press, ‘There was heavily water-logging up to 4ft-5ft in the campus of Airport after heavy rainfall. It led to the collapse of boundary wall. Rainy water reached up to the runway.

The entire airport is a low-lying area. So water from agriculture field rushes towards the Airport side leading to heavy water-logging. We have made green field to check the water logging but this time it was not sufficient.’

Heavy rainfall paralysed normal life in Rewa district. There was flood-like situation due to heavy rain in various districts like Shahdol, Mandla, Seoni, Balaghat, Maihar and Dindori. Water level of Bansagar dam swelled in Shahdol triggering flood-like situation in low-lying areas in Shahdol.
