Kathmandu,June 28: The army’s bomb disposal squad had by noon safely detonated three of the four explosives found hanging Thursday morning on a transformer pole at Macchendra Bahal.

Police was deployed in crowd control, and they have cordoned off the entire area from Mahaboudha, Asan, Bhedasingh and Indra Chowk. People in the immediate vicinity are watching from their rooftops as army personnel inflak jackets moved about on the street below.

The army’s special bomb-disposal van was at the scene and a special gun was aimed and fired by remote control to detonate the rest of the devices. Eye-witnesses at the scene say that although there were big bangs, the exposives do not appear to be destructive since even the transformer pole has not been damaged.
