Call for sustainable tourism push in inner seraj: Local activist urges green, eco-sensitive development

Banjar, July 13 (UNI) Inner Seraj Valley, a rapidly emerging tourist destination in Himachal Pradesh, must embrace sustainable tourism practices to balance ecological preservation with development, says local social worker Hem Raj Sharma from Palach Valley.
In a detailed memorandum, Sharma urged the government and tourism planners to prioritise green infrastructure and introduce measures that avoid the environmental degradation often caused by unplanned construction.
Citing the rising influx of both domestic and international tourists, Sharma called for eco-sensitive access roads to key hidden gems of the region, including the Serolsar Lake, Raghupur Garh, and the Gahidhar waterfall in Tirthan Valley. He advocated for motorable connectivity only through environmentally responsible methods, without harming nature or disturbing water streams.
