01 Jan 2012 Editorial Team

A truck terminal project, proposed 10 years ago for Vijayawada is still incomplete despite spending Rs 10 crore on the project.

The aim of setting up the terminal was to check the entry of heavy vehicles including lorries and trucks into the city, which would help ease traffic snarls.
