Vijayawada: Transport department seized 10 vehicles for carrying passengers without paying taxes to the state government and not obtaining the fitness certificate. The vehicle owners purchased these vehicles for personal use but are using for the transportation of passengers between various destinations, particularly from other states to Andhra Pradesh.
