The Governor’s adviser of Basra said last Thursday that paving Haifa Street in Umm Qasr had been completed at the cost of 142 million dinar, while the director of the local Reconstruction Unit said that a local company had began this week paving the streets of the city of Qurnah at the cost of 385 million dinar.
Ihsan Abdel Jabbar, the Governor’s adviser of Basrah, said that "a local company was able to complete paving Haifa Street in Umm Qasr (60 km) west of Basrah at a length of 3 km and a total cost of 142 million dinar".
He explained that “Basrah governorate will include all regions within the reconstruction projects and have put new plans and strategies for the implementation of projects through 2007 under the purpose of demonstrating the city of Basrah as befitting it".
On his part, the director of the local reconstruction unit in Basra said "a local company began early this week paving the streets in the district of Qurnah (100 km) north of Basrah, at a total cost of 385 million dinar".
He added that "the process of paving included the internal streets of the judiciary of 7 km in length".
He pointed out that "there are other projects would be implemented in Basrah within the region development plan for the current year, and they would mostly be in service and health fields".
Most of Basrah districts suffer from neglect in the quality of services provided to citizens as most of them lack health centers, schools, paved roads and other services.
