NEW DELHI, March 16 -- India Sunday put on hold the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 at the request of Kuala Lumpur, said local TV Times Now.

The search is suspended because Malaysia is re-assessing the situation about the missing plane and trying to prioritize the areas for renewed searching, the TV channel quoted defense ministry sources as saying.

Indian navy and air force have been searching the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal for three days but so far, no sighting or detection has been reported, according to military sources here.

The search could resume in 10 to 12 hours' time, said the report.
