HK ready to accept more drivers from Guangdong: govt

Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan on Wednesday said more vehicle inspection centres will be established in Guangdong to ensure all cars which are set to arrive in Hong Kong via a soon-to-be-expanded scheme are roadworthy. Starting July 25, the Southbound Travel Scheme that allows Guangdong residents to drive to the SAR for leisure purposes will include nine cities, up from four at the moment. Up to 200 vehicles will be allowed entry to Hong Kong's urban areas each day, double the existing quota. Authorities are aiming to further expand the scheme to 21 Guangdong cities by the first quarter of 2027. Following a visit to the brand new Terminal 2 (T2) at Hong Kong International Airport, Chan said the city is ready to receive more visitors wishing to drive here. "We have been observing for a period of time the situation at the port, as well as car parks and vehicle charging facilities. We believe we have sufficient capacity," she said. She also pledged to strengthen promotion and education on the scheme. As for the initial operation of T2, the transport chief confirmed that HK Express -- the last of the 15 airlines named as the initial occupants of the new terminal -- has relocated its check-in services there by Wednesday. All supporting facilities are in place and ready, she added, while some passengers she had talked to spoke about their positive and smooth check-in experience at T2. Edited by Raymond Yeung

Lahore to have rental e-bike service

LAHORE: The Punjab government has decided to introduce the country’s first app-based electric motorbike rental service, saying it will simultaneously help tackle the city’s chronic last-mile connectivity gap and its worsening air quality crisis. Under the scheme, 10,000 e-bikes and 300 docking and charging stations will be deployed across the city in the first phase, with residents able to hire a bike within seconds through a dedicated mobile application. “The initiative is being developed under the government’s Green Mobility Programme and will require its final approval before formal launch,” Housing, Urban Development and Public Health Engineering Department Secretary Noorul Amin Mengal said while presiding over a meeting here on Monday. “According to Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s vision, we are introducing modern schemes to reduce smog and pollution. This is not a merely transport initiative, it is an environmental commitment. This is one of our most concrete steps in that direction,” he said. Docking stations will be strategically placed at key residential and commercial areas, with a particular focus on connectivity to existing public transport hubs. “The students, daily-wage workers, and office commuters stand to benefit most — groups for whom fuel costs and transport delays represent a genuine economic burden.” As the Horticulture Agency Lahore would identify and provide land for docking and charging infrastructure, several other institutions are expected to join the effort, including the Lahore Parking Company, transport department, the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA), and other relevant departments, Mengal said and added that diverting even a fraction of short-distance petrol-powered journeys to electric bikes could yield thousands of tonnes of avoided carbon emissions annually. “Beyond carbon reduction, planners anticipate a measurable decline in traffic congestion, fuel expenditure, and noise pollution — benefits they describe as compounding over time as the network matures.” He said that minors would be barred from registering with the application.

‘Israel violated Lebanon truce nearly 3,500 times’

The wife of a Lebanese army captain, who was killed by Israeli bombardment, salutes as mourners carry her husband’s coffin at his home village in southern Lebanon.—AFP • Woman, child among 12 killed in attacks on Zifta, Tyre • Beirut counts 3,491 Israeli strikes since April 17; fresh bombardment damages Unesco heritage site • Hezbollah denies contact with Trump BEIRUT: An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed 12 people on Monday as Lebanese Defence Minister Michel Menassa revealed Israel has carried out nearly 3,500 air strikes since a US-brokered ceasefire took effect in April. The Lebanese health ministry said the dawn raid on the town of Zifta in the Nabatieh district resulted in seven deaths, including a Syrian child and a woman, and wounded eight others. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike on Tyre in southern Lebanon on Monday killed five people and wounded eight, the health ministry said, as Israel said it would continue strikes despite Iranian threats. “An Israeli enemy raid on the city of Tyre, near the Red Cross centre, resulted in five martyrs and eight wounded, four of whom were Red Cross paramedics,” the ministry said in a statement. The continuing violence underscores the fragility of the ceasefire that came into effect on April 17. Nearly 3,500 Israeli attacks During a cabinet meeting on Monday, Menassa said that between April 17 and June 7, Israel conducted 3,491 air strikes, 407 controlled demolitions and six razing operations, flattening entire villages in southernmost Lebanon. PM Nawaf Salam said the escalation has caused additional waves of displacement. More than 1 million people have been displaced and over 3,600 killed since Hezbollah drew Lebanon into the conflict on March 2 with rocket fire at Israel to avenge the US-Israeli killing of Iran’s supreme leader. The heavy bombardment in Tyre also damaged a Unesco World Heritage site. Ali Badawi, the culture ministry’s regional director of archaeological sites for south Lebanon, said Sunday’s bombardment had “the worst impact” on Tyre’s ancient areas since the war began. “The amount of debris and damage at the site is high,” Badawi said. “Some archaeological artefacts were damaged when rubble fell on them, as debris fell over a large area, impacting a large number of elements at the site — columns, capitals, column bases, mosaics.” Tyre’s ruins include Roman baths, a second-century triumphal arch and a hippodrome. Lebanese Culture Minister Ghassan Salame appealed to protect the sites, charging that Israel “does not respect” the Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property. ‘No contact with Trump’ Amid the ongoing conflict, a senior Hezbollah official denied statements from US President Donald Trump suggesting the two sides had communicated. Senior Hezbollah official Mahmud Qomati said in written remarks that “there has been no direct contact between President Trump and Hezbollah officials”. Trump told reporters last Wednesday that “we actually spoke with Hezbollah for the first time, ever,” and later claimed he had a “very good call” with the group through highly placed representatives.
