Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung says he will be joined by the relevant officials to update lawmakers on the Government?s clean-up effort following Super Typhoon Mangkhut at the October 24 Legislative Council meeting.

Speaking to reporters today, Mr Cheung said the Government has spared no effort in the post-typhoon clean-up work, doing its utmost to remove fallen trees that obstruct traffic and affect people?s daily lives.
