Concrete Barriers To Come Down In Safer Mosul
Ninewa, Nov 5, (VOI) – Security forces started to remove concrete barricades in Mosul city, Ninewa Mayor Darid Kashmola said on Monday.
“The procedure is meant to lessen the burden on local citizens and ease the flow of traffic, as security concerns have greatly abated, they are no longer necessary” Kashmola told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
According to the mayor, all barricades set up in front of police stations and party headquarters will be taken down, except those in certain city hot spots.
The mayor did not specify the concerned hot spots, but said, “I ordered the formation of a committee from municipal council members, police directors and civil defense officials to follow up on the issue.”
In the aftermath of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, concrete barricades were put up in front of security departments and party headquarters in Mosul in an attempt to prevent armed and suicide attacks.
Mosul, the capital city of Ninewa province, lies 402 km north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
