GOODS TRANSPORT
Transport of goods and merchandise is not undertaken by the State Transport organisation. Besides railways, goods transport is in the hands of private owners of motor trucks. The number of goods vehicles, both public and private carriers, registered and licensed in the district was 550 in 1969. Of these 419 were public carriers and 59 were private carriers. Freight rates charged by them are not determined by any official body, but are allowed to be governed by the principles of demand and supply,
