People were asked to move away from the spot as the police checked the bag. But it was found to contain nothing suspicious.
"It contained some batteries. A trader had left it unattended following a tiff with someone. He is being questioned. There is no terror angle to it," a police officer said.
Some areas in Pathankot district were searched on Wednesday following the suspicious movement of around six men in the area.
