The hospital discharged the couple after giving them first aid, said the senior police officer.
Three roof collapses were reported at three airports in recent months. The Rajkot airport terminal's canopy had collapsed at the passengers' pick-up area.
A part of a fabric canopy collapsed inside the premises of the Dumna airport, Jabalpur, amid heavy rains and crushed a car parked below.
The most major one was the canopy collapse at the Delhi airport as a taxi driver wad killed and many were injured. The incident also became a nightmare for the passengers whose flights were cancelled.
