Four homes for the elderly and residential homes were evacuated on Saturday after the bomb was discovered on Thursday during construction work.
A total of 17,000 people in the city’s northwest district had to leave their homes because of the large bomb.
The area was cleared close to 3:00 p.m. (1400 GMT), and people could return to their residences.
