Kishtwar : Government Forces have intensified search operations in Kishtwar district of Chenab Valley here in Jammu and Kashmir to track down the oldest surviving militant who is affiliated with Hizbul Mujhadeen.
Reliable sources said that security agencies have received inputs that the oldest surviving militant Muhammad Amin alias Jahangir Saroori has become active yet again and are trying to revive militancy in Chenab Valley.
