Airport authorities said the water was cleared within 30 minutes and that flight operations and passenger movement were unaffected. The incident sparked a political clash. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav shared a video and alleged 'mega-corruption' under the BJP government. Jewar BJP MLA Dhirendra Singh inspected the site, defended the airport’s development, and accused the opposition of politicising a minor issue. The airport, inaugurated in March, is a public-private partnership. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - rediff.com Tags: Delhi rain, infrastructure, Jewar, Monsoon, Noida airport, Waterlogging Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/waterlogged-noida-airport-cleared-in-30-minutes-amid-heavy-rain/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
