A responsible government source denied recently circulated rumors concerning an arrest campaign targeting employees within the Baquba Municipality department. The source explained that the intensified security presence inside the building was a routine measure to secure the handover process for the position of municipality director, following the former director's relief of duties at his personal request via an administrative decision by the governorate. The source emphasized that no arrests or office raids were recorded, asserting that official authorities operate with transparency. Should any legal or security actions be taken against any employee, they will be officially announced to the public.
