Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has taken this adverse trend seriously and directed the Transport Department to try to create a conducive environment for increasing the sales of vehicles. Officials of the Transport Department have started an initiative to find out the reason for the decline in sales by contacting the vehicle manufacturers for this.
