TIA urges passengers not to use ‘khada’ and garland in course of security check

KATHMANDU: The Tribhuvan International Airport Office has urged passengers traveling on international flights not to wear ‘khada’ and garland in the course of security checks. Khada is the silk scarf that is put around the neck of a person while extending farewell or welcoming.

General Manager of TIA, Jagannath Niraula said that the TIA requested not to use ‘khada’ and garland as these things got stuck in the X-ray machine, conveyor belt and escalator in course of security check, damaging such machines.

“Issuing a notice today, we have urged passengers traveling on international flights not to use ‘khada’ and garland in the course of a security check. The passengers have to put ‘khada’ and garland in their bags during the security check,” he said.

Niraula shared that ‘khada’ and garland thrown by passengers at different places of the airport has also had a negative impact on the beauty of the airport.

The passengers could take ‘khada’ and garland with them in bags if they have to take it with them, according to TIA.
