Car in no-park zone causes panic in Srinagar

Srinagar, Jan 8 (UNI) Panic gripped the uptown and traffic on the Srinagar-Airport route was suspended after rumours spread that a car with a bomb planted inside it was parked on Indira Gandhi road at Hyderpora.

Official sources said traffic on the Srinagar-Airport route was suspended after a car was seen parked in the no-park zone at Hyderpora on the Indira Gandhi road today.

The bomb disposal squad was immediately summoned after the entire area was sealed.
