Representatives of the lorry owners’ associations from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana submitted a representation to Telangana Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar in Hyderabad on Saturday, urging him to resolve the long-pending matter of issuing counter-signature permits for goods transport vehicles operating between the two States.
