Lorry owners of A.P., Telangana seek resolution of long-pending issues
They call on Telangana Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar and urge him to redress the long-pending matter of issuing counter-signature permits for goods transport vehicles operating between the two States
Lorry owners from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have called for urgent action from their respective Transport Ministers to resolve a long-standing issue regarding the issuance of counter-signature permits. This matter has been unresolved since the division of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, causing hardships for truck operators in both regions.
The lorry owners' representatives urged the Transport Ministers to hold meetings and collaborate to find a prompt resolution. They emphasized that addressing this issue, which has persisted for nearly a decade, would significantly benefit the lorry owners and enable the smooth transportation of goods between the two states. Telangana Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar reportedly responded favorably to their plea.
The meeting also featured representatives from both states, including association leaders and members, who expressed the need for the government to take the lead in resolving the concerns of the transport sector and ensuring seamless movement of goods across the inter-state border.
