The Government will resume 13 private agricultural lots with a total area of about 19,461.7 square metres to provide land for the formation of Chuk Yuen Village Resite Area in Ta Kwu Ling. A notice for the land resumption was gazetted today.

The entire Chuk Yuen Village has to be cleared to make way for the development of a new Boundary Control Point at Liantang-Heung Yuen Wai in the northeastern New Territories.

The construction works will start in this year's third quarter for completion by the first quarter of 2012.
