Also there is no investment to made in making "Datun" as these were tweeks from the trees.

This allow thr local youth, to offer motorcycle rides services ro the commuters. Many lerson unablebto walk on foot or cover abdistance of 10 km, is happy to pay Rs.200 for a ride near the river. The bikers are quick to grsp the oppurtunity. They are well aware of the city routes and nominal charges they are providing the servies to the commuters. Even if the bikers makes 5 round rides on an daily average tbeir earning coes out to be Rs.2000 per day. Over the duration of the fair, that amount going to climb more.
