The police said that information about one suspicious object was received, following which the police rushed to the spot.
Among the objects which were recovered include pistols, grenades, and magazines.
The recovery of a suspected packet came a day after a blast occured in a private car in Srinagar on Sunday at Boulevard road which triggered panic among people nearby, the police had said.
However, nobody was injured, police said.
Prima facie, the blast seems to be due to equipment failure, the police said.
