To tap the growing fascination for fancy and VIP numbers and also contain the touts, the Uttar Pradesh government is mulling auctioning the special numbers for motor vehicles.
State Transport Minister Durga Prasad Yadav today said that at present there is a system of online booking of VIP numbers for vehicles on first come first serve basis.
"It has come to the knowledge of the government that touts in connivance with the RTO offices are doing trick in online booking," he said.
Yadav said that to address such complaints now online auction of such numbers will be done so that the system could be made more transparent.
He said that online auction would remain open for a certain period and for this rules would be amended soon.
