KESETTLEMENT COMMISSIONER SENDS CONDOLENCES
To Families Of Workers Killed In Fall
The Commissioner for Resettlement, Mr. John Walden, today on
behalf of the Resettlement Select Committee of the Urban Council expressed
his sympathy and condolences to the families of the two workers who
died in a fall while dismantling illegal flower pot racks in Lam Tin
Estate yesterday.
The Commissioner said it was a "distressing and tragic occurrence, #
especially when tenants are being so co-operative in helping the Department
remove these dangerous obstructions.
He added that so many had already been removed without any
incidents.
Staff of the Resettlement Department have gone to see the
families of these two men with a view to helping them to obtain the
assistance of the Social Welfare Department if needed.
A spokesman for the Department advised tenants or contractors
who are engaged in dismantling these illegal racks to exercise the utmost
care and to take adequate precautions before removing them.
