Bomb hoax at KSRTC bus stand

ALAPPUZHA: An anonymous caller who warned the KSRTC office here that bombs had been planted in several points at the KSRTC bus stand here, put the police on their toes. Later the bomb threat was found to be a hoax. The KSRTC office got a call that bombs planted in the bus stand premises would go off in a few minutes. The KSRTC authorities alerted the police and the bomb and dog squad swung into action searching every nook and corner of the KSRTC stand, garage and nearby places. However, the search yielded nothing. The caller may be a mentally disturbed person. Efforts are on to trace him, the police said.
