A spokesperson for the Aviation Division had said the incident occurred on the morning of Aug 14 when 56 millimetres of rain lashed the airport, due to which a major portion of the false ceiling of its international departure and domestic arrival lounges, as well as CIP lounge, collapsed under the burden of rainwater accumulating on ceiling panels.
Expressing displeasure over the project director and the airport manager, Federal Minister for Aviation, Ghulam Sarwar Khan had sought a report on the damage inflicted by rainfall on the airport. He had asked them to explain why does water drip from the ceiling whenever it rains and why sub-standard material was used.
