SECURITY measures are already in place for the fireworks display during Chinese New Year.

But they may be changed depending on the outcome of the interim report into the Lan Kwai Fong tragedy by Mr Justice Bokhary.

Organisers of the display yesterday said they would adopt any changes that were necessary.

The report is due on January 18.

An estimated one million revellers are expected to line both sides of Victoria Harbour on the evening of January 24 when more than 10,000 rockets will light up the sky in a $31/2 million display to ring in the Year of the Rooster.

Crowd control planning has been under way since early last year and organisers are confident that controls are adequate.
