Rana is contesting on NC ticket from this constituency.
"We have already taken a modest stride towards this direction in the past few years and time has come now to take a big leap," he said while addressing a series of election meetings in the constituency.
Rana claimed that carving of Nagrota as Nawa Jammu not only means development but it will also create opportunities for economic emancipation of the people, especially the youth.
"The city has expanded on three directions but the most viable and close destination of Nagrota has still remained unexplored," he said adding that this will be overcome by laying thrust on generating facilities required for a satellite city.
Rana said Nawa Jammu will give opportunities for youth as the constituency has immense potential to grow as a commercial hub, residential cluster and tourist attraction being at the entry point of scenic Kashmir and Ladakh besides revered pilgrimage destinations of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi and Shri Amarnathji.
