Aug 14 2025

The Excise Department’s auction of seized vehicles concluded successfully on Thursday at Rachna Bhawan, generating approximately ₹5 lakh in revenue for the government. The event was conducted under the directives of District Officer Vishal Raj and supervised by DDC Sparsh Gupta along with Excise Superintendent Devendra Prasad.

A total of 85 impounded vehicles, including two-wheelers and cars, were put under the hammer. Of these, 36 were sold, while the remaining await future proceedings. The Excise Department confirmed that all transactions were carried out with full transparency, and only registered applicants from earlier rounds were eligible to participate.

The auction drew interest beyond district boundaries, with bidders traveling from neighboring regions. Inside Rachna Bhawan, strict entry protocols were enforced—only authorized bidders were allowed in, while their supporters waited outside. Enhanced security measures ensured an orderly process.

Post-auction, officials initiated the necessary documentation to formalize the transfer of ownership for the vehicles sold. According to Excise Superintendent Devendra Prasad, the successful completion of the auction not only added to government revenue but also demonstrated the department’s commitment to fair and accountable asset disposal.
