HONG KONG - The Hong Kong government Monday announced cancellation of National Day fireworks on Oct. 1.
The government said, in view of the latest situation, it is anticipated that main access roads leading to hot spots for viewing the fireworks display may continue to be seriously affected.
Having regard to public transport arrangements and public safety considerations, the National Day Fireworks Display originally scheduled at Victoria Harbor on Oct. 1 at 8 pm local time will be canceled.
Protests have been taking place in various areas in Hong Kong, occupying some of the main roads. Protesters called for the withdrawal of the decision on Hong Kong's constitutional development made on Aug. 31 by the National People's Congress Standing Committee.
