Yau Tsim Mong District Office finishes joint operation to clear miscellaneous articles on Mong Kok Road footbridge (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     As the accumulation of miscellaneous articles on the Mong Kok Road footbridge recently affected public hygiene, the Yau Tsim Mong District Office had posted notices on the footbridge several times since June 2, stating that any miscellaneous articles left on the footbridge would be cleared and disposed of by the Government. Any person in possession of such articles had to remove them before today (June 8).

     Apart from posting notices, the Government also arranged outreach visits by the Integrated Services Team for Street Sleepers before the operation to further understand the welfare needs of the relevant persons and provide support services as appropriate.

     The Yau Tsim Mong District Office thanked the relevant persons for their co-operation by removing the articles before the operation today. Besides, the relevant department has fenced off the non-passage area starting from today for carrying out cleaning and disinfection work, etc.

     To avoid obstruction and environmental hygiene problems, the Government urges the public again not to place objects or articles at public spaces, and should observe the regulations relating to the prohibition of group gatherings in public places and wearing of mask.
