Qadri said that while the government was in favour of increasing the number of state protected properties, those sites that have already been declared protected are also being conserved. "We have started the conservation work of the Mubark Mandi complex and the Chingus Sarai," Qadri said, adding that "the restoration work of the Mubark Mandi complex, a seat of Dogra rulers, was an ambitious project involving money of nearly Rs 200 crore." Similarly the work on Chingus

Saraia, where the entrails of Emperor Jehangir have been buried, will also be completed soon.

Qadri said,"We will also be approaching the Central government for more funds to begin the restoration and conservation work of some other protected buildings and monuments in the state."
