The flight delayed, and passengers had to wait

The India Meteorological Department on Monday predicted rain and thunderstorm in Mumbai as Cyclone Biparjoy intensified into an 'extremely severe cyclonic storm' and is expected to hit the west coast on June 15.

 

Passengers were seen upset. Were seen running here and there to get information. Because of all this, Air India tweeted that due to bad weather, there was temporary closure of runway 09/27 at Mumbai airport. Hence some flights will be delayed and some have been cancelled.
