Uttarakhand's upcoming elections coincide with the peak wedding season, causing a surge in demand for vehicles. Over 12,000 vehicles, including buses and taxis, have been diverted for election duty, leaving families struggling to find transportation for weddings. The situation is particularly challenging in the hilly areas where public transport is limited. Additionally, the 'dry phase' before polling, when liquor shops are closed, is causing further complications for wedding organizers. State authorities have assured to address genuine concerns regarding vehicle shortages.
