The ASTD in a press release affirmed to support the 30-day ultimatum issued by the NFHRCC on August 7 to the Government “to maintain the Foothills Road pliable while waiting for the proposed mega project” and its completion. The Government is yet to fulfill its commitment and “rather showing more signs of failure to respond positively to the ultimatum in particular and the public cause in general,” the ASTD observed. While reaffirming to endorse the NFHRCC ultimatum on the government, it also resolved to take “any appropriate means of action” in solidarity with the NFHRCC.
