The transport department has become rich by selling vehicles in the festive season of October-November.

The vehicles registered in the transport department in October and November are expected to meet the year-long target of the transport department.
The automobile market, which had slowed down in the month of September before the festive season, picked up speed after Navratri started in the month of October. In normal months, three to five thousand vehicles are sold in Dehradun. But during the festive season, vehicles were sold in large numbers. This not only made vehicle sellers rich but also made the transport department rich.
