During the visit to the two areas today, the Director of Public
Works, Mr. Robson said that with these new arrangements it would take a further
week to complete the removal of the large quantity of earth and debris at Sau
Mau Ping, but to reinstate the damaged slope above the area would take longer.
He also said that it will take about 14 days to clear Conduit Road
but the clearance and other works at Po Shan Road with every effort being made
will still take considerably longer.
