1. Hong Kong Chief Secretary Eric Chan pledges more counters at Huanggang Port after Halloween and concert crowds jam border

   Hong Kong Chief Secretary Eric Chan inspected the Shenzhen Bay and Huanggang ports on Sunday, Oct 25, and pledged to open more clearance counters and vehicle lanes at the newly rebuilt Huanggang Port before peak periods, after Halloween crowds and concert-goers caused severe cross-border congestion. Chan said he had told the Security Bureau to strengthen advance assessment and passenger flow forecasts, and asked the Transport and Logistics Bureau to work with bus and rail operators to keep enough vehicles and staff ready.
