Congress MP Hibi Eden Questions PM Modi Over Delhi Airport Canopy Collapse

New Delhi [India], June 30: Congress MP Hibi Eden has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government following a canopy collapse at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. The incident, which occurred on Friday morning, resulted in one death and eight injuries.
