In a meeting with the Secretary of the Department of Transport and Roads and Buildings, Kona Sasidhar, the State general secretary of the association, Y.V.
Eswara Rao, expressed that despite 12 years since the State's bifurcation, the problem of counter-signature permits for these vehicles has not been resolved.
