Baghdad municipality extends 'Baghdad More Beautiful 2' infrastructure campaign

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Baghdad Municipality announced on Wednesday that its "Baghdad More Beautiful 2" campaign is continuing, aiming to expand asphalting and rehabilitation work on damaged streets and neighborhoods across the capital. The municipality said the campaign is designed to widen the scope of renewal efforts in deteriorating areas and to raise the standard of services delivered to residents. In a statement, the municipality said Baghdad Mayor Ammar Musa Kazim chaired a meeting of the Municipal Advisory Council to review service and urban development files. The council decided to carry out the campaign using the municipality's own internal resources rather than relying on additional or outside funding. City officials stressed that the work would be executed by municipal departments and financed entirely from the administration's own funds. No further details on timelines or specific areas were immediately available.
