Ganderbal, Oct 17,: In a major breakthrough, Ganderbal Police have arrested eight absconders who had been evading arrest for several years in connection with criminal cases registered in different parts of the district.

According to police officials, the arrests were made after sustained efforts, intelligence gathering, and extensive technical surveillance.
