Enumerating the quantum of development which has transformed the Ramhall area, the new entrants said that establishments of public offices, setting up of health and educational institutions and giving of Sub Divisional status has only happened in NC rule particularly when the constituency was headed by Choudhary Mohammad Ramzan.

They said that the NC has always been sincere from 1947, espoused the cause of the poor Kashmiri people and leaders of this organisation have offered supreme sacrifices for upholding the dignity and honour of people of the State.
