A hoax bomb call created panic at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu on Wednesday morning, promoting the airport officials to halt the flights for an hour.

Passengers were evacuated from the airport soon after the officials received a call from an unidentified person claiming that there was a bomb at the airport's domestic terminal.

Though a joint team from the Nepal Police and Nepal Army carried out a search operation following the information, they did not find any suspicious object.

Now, the situation is under control and the flights have also resumed, an airport official said.
