Hong Kong authorities have ordered the removal of scaffolding nets at about 200 sites citywide following the deadly Tai Po fire, with firms starting work to meet a three-day deadline. Suspected false safety certificates were found at two building sites, prompting the measure to prevent repeats of the tragedy that claimed at least 159 lives.
Hong Kong's development minister has stated there is no need for a complete switch from bamboo to metal scaffolding, as the former was not the cause of last month's deadly Tai Po fire. This position marks a shift from Chief Secretary Eric Chan's earlier remarks urging a swift replacement.
