BAGHDAD, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- Iraq has launched a major reconstruction and heritage revival initiative, dubbed the "Mosul Pulse" project, to revitalize the historic alleys and neighborhoods of the war-battered old city of Mosul, a government official confirmed Monday.
Turhan al-Mufti, advisor to Iraqi Prime Minister Shia' al-Sudani, told the official Iraqi News Agency that the first phase, launched by al-Sudani on Sunday and aimed at reviving Mosul's heritage, will focus on the rehabilitation of the 1,800-meter-long Al-Farouq Street.
