Handwara | Nov, 13: Senior National Conference leader and Member Parliament Chowdry Mohammad Ramzan has expressed gratitude to the Omar Abdullah-led government for installing an MRI machine at Government Medical College (GMC), Handwara, and approving the augmentation of three major water supply schemes worth Rs 9 crore in the Rajwar and Ramhall areas.
During his three-day visit to different areas of Handwara constituency, Ramzan said the MRI facility fulfilled a long-pending demand and would strengthen healthcare infrastructure in the region by providing patients access to advanced diagnostic services closer to home.

The MP also welcomed the augmentation of three water supply schemes, each costing Rs 3 crore, aimed at improving drinking water availability in water-scarce areas.
The projects include the Nagradi-Krumhoora-Kahipora Water Supply Scheme, the Kenyal Water Supply Scheme covering Lilam-Hurdoona, and the Sarmarg-Check Sarmarg Water Supply Scheme.
Ramzan said the projects would address persistent drinking water shortages and ensure a more reliable supply to households in the affected areas. He added that he had previously taken up the matter with the Jal Shakti Minister for the augmentation of these schemes.
During his interaction with people, the MP also informed them that funds under his Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) had been released for various developmental works.
