Workers of the Telephone Company are also trying to get
damaged lines in the whole of Hong Kong repaired as soon as possible, and they
are already making good progress in their repair work.
Given dry weather, a company spokesman said, it was hoped that damaged
lines could be repaired and services restored "quite soon".
However, the spokesman pointed out that at this stage it was still not
possible to state precisely which lines in particular areas could be restored
by a given date,
He requested subscribers to be patient and assured them that the company
had not spared any effort in trying to get all damaged lines restored as early
as possible.
He said priority in repair work was given first to essential services,
then to commercial undertakings and residential properties.
