JAMMU, AUG 27: Security forces on Friday claimed to have foiled Inter-Services Intelligence's (ISI) designs to disrupt the electoral process in Jammu and Kashmir with the recovery of huge quantity of arms and explosives from border area of Kanachak in Akhnoor sector of Jammu division, a spokesman for the Border Security Force (BSF) here said.

The consignment recovered on Thursday included 10 packets of deadly explosives, one anti-tank mine with time pencil, detonator and battery, several sophisticated timer devices, a Chinese pistol and one Chinese hand grenade, he told reporters.
