The contraband placed in two cans was discovered in Gul Tapa area, a suburban of provincial capital Sari Pul city and thus a possible subversive attack has been foiled.

He also called upon the local people to help police in ensuring peace and security in the province.
Police also discovered and seized an assault rifle in Sangcharak district of Sari Pul province recently, the official added.
