The MTR Corporation on Friday announced a donation of Octopus cards loaded with HK$2,000 each to Wang Fuk Court residents.

It also donated HK$10 million to support those affected by the Tai Po fire.

In wake of traffic congestion in the district, the rail firm will also continue to provide additional train services for sections of the East Rail Line during peak hours to divert passenger flow.

For those who lost or had their JoyYou, Personalised Octopus with “Persons with Disabilities Status” or “Student Status” cards damaged in the Tai Po fire, an expedited replacement service will continue to be available at Tai Po Market Station.

"The MTR Corporation expresses its deep sorrow over the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po. The corporation extends its sincere condolences to those who have lost their lives, been injured, or lost their homes and loved ones in the incident," the rail operator said in a statement.
