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.
