Governor Vohra referred to the enormous potential of using solar energy for lighting and water-heating in Katra town and en route from Banganga to the holy cave shrine of Vaishno Devi in the Jammu region.

The governor also emphasised the need to adequately publicise the use of solar and other non-conventional energy sources, which could be emulated by the hotel industry and the general public in the state.

Farooq Abdullah assured the governor his ministry would provide all possible help in preparing the conservation and solar use plans for Raj Bhavans at Srinagar and Jammu as well as for Katra town and the track from Banganga to the holy cave shrine.
