EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction

1 The Short Resettlement Plan (SRP) for implementation has been prepared based on data/ information derived from social surveys undertaken for the purpose. Data generated by the finalized Technical/Engineering Design in accordance with the ADB Involuntary Resettlement Policy (1995), Resettlement Guidelines (1998) and the Resettlement Framework (RF).

2 The implementation of this sub-project will cause resettlement/dislocation issues due to clearance of CoI for execution of civil works. The major impacts include the relocation of religious structures (mosques), partial demolishing of permanent structures (residential), and displacement of small business structures of the squatters. The owners of all such structures are non-titleholders. The other important impact will be in terms of felling of trees within the CoI. In order to keep the resettlement issues at minimum, a detailed study of alternative design options was carried out, as per requirements of the ADB. Accordingly, all the proposed civil works activities are kept within the CoI, except the area, where diversions are to be made and land would be acquired on temporary basis, as per provisions of LAA 1894. Thus, minimum disturbance and displacement is envisaged. According to ADB policy, preparation of RP depends upon the degree of severity caused by a project. "A full resettlement plan is required if " 200 or more people experience loss of productive and other assets (including land), incomes and livelihood, or equal number of people are affected by losing housing, community structures, resources and services" Full plan is also required if 100 or more affected people are vulnerable indigenous peoples". Temporary loss of land and assets, crops and income foregone on agricultural land come under temporary impacts and so are the people affected regardless in what numbers. The 359 people affected by ICB-01 are affected only temporarily and by definition only a Short Resettlement Plan is required". A Project Management Unit (PMU) in Lahore has been established in order to implement resettlement activities that are responsible for coordinating the preparation and implementation of this SRP and to supervise the Resettlement Activities.

Design and Details

3 The LBDC Main Canal originates from river Ravi at Balloki Barrage, about 75 km south west of Lahore. Its total length is 201 km. It is further divided into three segments for separate contracts to facilitate the implementation process and financial facility. The first package starts from RD 00+500 and terminates at RD 227+000 (ICB-01) (excluded first half RD, because of falling in Balloki Barrage area), second starts from RD 227+000 and terminates at RD 527+000 (ICB-02) and the third reach from RD 527+000 to 661+000 (ICB-03). The present SRP is prepared for ICB-01 excluding reach from RD 196+000 to 227+000 which will be rehabilitated as part of Renewable Energy Development Sector Investment Programme, another ADB funded project being implemented by PPMU.

4 It has 52 distributaries and minors off shoot directly and indirectly from LBDC main canal. Total CCA of this reach is 346038 acres. There are 768 outlets irrigating the command area of this reach. Layout plan of Main Canal RD 00+000 to 227+000 and its irrigation system is shown in Fig-1. It has sweet area zone (288050 acres) and brackish area zone (57988 acres).In some area. , there are water supply schemes installed by the government to supply fresh water to the communities. However, these schemes will not be affected due to project works as these are located beyond designated CoI.

5 According to the design of Main Canal RD 00+500 to 227+000, the proposed works are as follows:

• Rehabilitation of existing structures (3 Nos.)


iv

• Construction of new Head Regulator (21 Nos.)

• Construction of new Fall Structure (3 Nos.)

• Construction of Cattle Ghats/ Washing places (33 Nos)

• New Foot/VR Bridges (4 Nos.)

Resettlement Processing Requirements

6 Based on ADB policy and practice, the stipulations under the Resettlement Framework prepared for the Program, the Resettlement-Related conditions to be satisfied in order to implement this sub-project are as follows:

(i) Condition to Contract Awards Signing: The RP will be prepared on the basis of detailed engineering design, assessment of related impacts and approval by ADB.

(ii) Condition to Initiation of Civil Works Implementation: The civil works of the sub-project will not be initiated unless the implementation of the compensation and rehabilitation program detailed in the RP in concurrence with ADB is completed.

Resettlement Issues and SRP

7 The implementation of this sub-project will cause resettlement/dislocation issues due to clearance of CoI (Fig:2) for execution of civil works, relocation of religious structures (mosques), partial demolishing of permanent structures (residential), displacement of small business structures of the squatters and felling of trees within the CoI. All appropriate options of engineering design were adopted in finalizing the alignment to minimize the resettlement impacts. In accordance with the design, all the proposed civil works activities are kept within the CoI, except the area, where diversions are to be made and land would be acquired on lease basis. Thus, minimum disturbance and displacement is envisaged. The Short Resettlement Plan has been prepared to address the resettlement issues within the corridor of impact and to compensate the affected persons in order to execute the sub-project in a smooth and sustainable manner. This plan also addresses other inter-related socio-cultural impacts such as vulnerable groups, issue of canal bank safety, community pressing needs and interruption in women’s routine activities etc. In general, this SRP has taken an integrated and holistic approach to deal with the impacts of the sub-project and aims at rebuilding livelihoods of the affected households, as quickly as possible.

8 A detailed census survey including an asset inventory of AFs and social impact was carried out to ascertain the number of affectees and their socio-economic conditions. The main findings of the survey are summarized as below:

LAR issues for the scheme

9 For identification and assessment of the impact of the sub-project activities on land, houses / buildings / structures and loss of trees and business, the project area was surveyed in detail to prepare the inventory of the assets, extent of loss and required compensation and socio-economic status of the AFs/APs as well as required rehabilitation costs to maintain their living standards. Land will be acquired on lease basis at RD 27, 63 and 111 for diversion purpose. The affected farmers were consulted thoroughly to take their land and payment of lease without any problem.

Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement

10 In this SRP, assessment of various types of assets like land, residential, commercial and community structures and trees were made accordingly. The unit rates for compensation of different types of losses such as buildings (i.e. commercial, residential, cultural or


v

religious), assets / loss of trees (wood & shade), private & public utilities and other agriculture losses, etc were applied. This was made in consultation with the community / affected people keeping in view market rates and patterns. The Project will affect 55 households and 359 persons of various categories. Dislocation of any residential household is not envisaged. However, the project will affect business. A total of 26 AFs (Business catageory) will be dislocated out of which 24 AFs face temporary dislocation and only two AFs (Boatmen) out of three will lose their source of livelihood on permanent basis due to construction of bridges at the locations at which they are operating their boats. Similarly, one women-headed household will be affected by the project that will lose her land temporarily. Thirty eight electricity poles, two prayer places, thirteen hand pumps and one telephone cabinet will come under project impacts.

11 A complete census of the APs within the CoI, on 100 % basis, was carried out by using a pre-structured questionnaire. The census aimed at to register and document the number and status of APs likely to be physically displaced or affected otherwise as a result of the project; and therefore, entitled to compensation. Onset of census of APs i.e October 06, 2009 was established as cut-off date to determine the eligibility for entitlements of compensation under the project. The cut-of date was announced publicly during individual consultations as well as group discussions and community was informed that people moving into the CoI after this date will not be considered as entitled to any compensation.

12 The socio-economic survey was conducted by selecting a sample. The survey results showed that 38 percent of the respondents were literate. As far as the availability of social amenities were concerned, 91 percent of the respondents reported availability of electricity, while 50 percent informed that they had educational facilities of primary schools, in their villages. The survey also revealed that women were 100 percent independent in their household activities and child caring but they had less authority to decide about farm activities, livestock rearing, sale and purchase of property and social obligations.

Objectives, Policy Framework and Entitlements

13 This SRP is anchored on the philosophy that government development projects must serve the needs of society and that in the design and implementation of such projects, all efforts were exercised to ensure that AFs would not be worse off. To achieve the objective the Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LAA 1894) and ADB policy on resettlement were reviewed critically to develop a policy framework for compensation entitlements.

14 In principle, Pakistan’s Law and ADB Policy adhere not only to the objective of compensation for affected families, but also to the objective of rehabilitation. However, Pakistan’s law is unclear on how rehabilitation is to be achieved and in practice the provision of rehabilitation is left to ad hoc arrangements taken by the local governments and the specific project proponents. To clarify these issues and reconcile eventual gaps between Pakistan’s Law and ADB Policy, the EA prepared a Resettlement Framework for the Project, ensuring compensation at replacement cost of all items, the rehabilitation of informal settlers, and the provision of subsidies or allowances for AFs that may be dislocated, suffer business losses, or may be severely affected.

Consultation and Grievance Redress Participation 15 The affected persons were made fully aware through consultative meetings, individual and

group discussions and dissemination of the project. AF’s were satisfied with the consultation. Their apprehensions were addressed at priority level regarding land acquisition on lease basis. They were quite satisfied with the rate, mutually agreed. Time to time discussions and explanations of this sub-project were made with the PMU and


vi

other concerned departments.

Compensation, Relocation and Income Restoration

16 The compensation rates of various construction types are adopted in consideration of the prevailing construction material rates. All affected land, residential, commercial and community structures were fully considered for their compensation as per ADB Guidelines for resettlement. In addition, a livelihood allowance, transport and additional assistance allowances have been provided for the income restoration of the affected households in the SRP.

Institutional Framework

17 The compensation program described in this SRP involves concerned agencies including PIPD as EA, PMU as IA and local government. Their co-ordination will be synchronized during the implementation of the project. Moreover coordination mechanism has been developed amongst various committees and to achieve the objectives of this SRP three coordination committees “viz.” Land Acquisition and Resettlement Steering Committee, Land Acquisition and Resettlement Advisory Committee and grievance redress committees are established.

Resettlement Budget

18 The resettlement budget is estimated at Rupees 16.70 million ($ 0.196 million). This includes the cost of land acquisition on lease for three years, assets/structures to be dislocated and trees falling within the affected area. In addition, the livelihood allowance, shifting allowance, vulnerable allowance, and cost of field staff training and cost of M&E are allocated in the budget.

Implementation Schedule 19 The project will be implemented soon after the approval of SRP by the ADB. The

implementation schedule is presented in Table 8.2 showing the LAR process and linking LAR Tasks with civil works.

Monitoring and Evaluation 20 Both internal and external monitoring and evaluation will be conducted according to the

project activity schedule. However, for M&E, an Independent Monitoring Agency (IMA) will be hired from a non-government sector. Monitoring and evaluation reports of IMA will be submitted to ADB bi-annually.

1. INTRODUCTION

Background 1 The Punjab Irrigated Agriculture Investment Program (PIAIP) is a Multi-tranche

Financial Facility (MFF) to be financed by the ADB. The Program includes several tranches each covering one sector-like Project. The 1st Tranche of the Program will finance the physical and organizational rehabilitation and up-gradation (R&U) of the Lower Bari Doab Canal (LBDC) irrigation system located in Punjab. The tranche is subdivided into two sub-components: (i) Rehabilitation and Upgrade (R&U) of the Balloki barrage and ancillary infrastructure; and (ii) R&U of the canal network including (a) the R&U of the Main Canal and (b) R&U of the distribution system.

2 The LBDC Main Canal originates from river Ravi at Balloki Barrage, about 75 km south west of Lahore. Its total length is 201 km. It is further divided into three segments for separate contracts to facilitate the implementation process and financial facility. The first package ICB-01 starts from RD 00+500 and terminates at RD 227+000 (excluded first half RD, because of falling in Balloki Barrage area), second package ICB-02 starts from RD 227+000 terminates at 527+000 and the third package ICB-03 from RD 527+000 to 661+700. The present SRP is prepared for the ICB-01 .It has 21 distributaries and minors which off take directly and indirectly from the LBDC main canal. Total CCA of this package is 346038 acres. There are 768 outlets irrigating the command area. Layout plan of Main Canal covering ICB-01 and its irrigation system is shown in Figure-1. It has sweet water zone (288050 acres) and brackish water zone (57988 acres).In some area, there are water supply schemes installed through government agencies to supply portable water to the communities.

3 It is pertinent to mention that the reach included in ICB-01from RD 196+000 to 227+000 will be rehabilitated as part of “Renewable Energy Development Sector Investment Programme”, another ADB funded project being implemented by Punjab Power Management Unit (PPMU). Therefore, the Short Resettlement Plan for this particular reach will be prepared under the above said project and it is excluded from ICB-01. Thus the SRP under ICB-01 only covers the reach from 0+500 to 196+000.

1.1. Resettlement Processing Requirements

4 Based on ADB policy and practice and the provisions of the RF, the following resettlement-related conditions are to be satisfied for the implementation of this sub-project.

(iii) Condition to Contract Awards Signing: The RP will be prepared on the basis of detailed engineering design, assessment of related impacts and approval by ADB.

(iv) Condition to Initiation of Civil Works Implementation: The civil works of the sub-project will not be initiated unless the implementation of the compensation and rehabilitation program detailed in the RP in concurrence with ADB is completed.

5 The preparation of SRP for the sub-project has been based on the finalized technical / engineering design. ADB policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1995), Resettlement Guidelines (1998) and the Bank’s approved Resettlement Framework (RF) for the Lower Bari Doab Canal Improvement Project (LBDCIP) are followed in this SRP. The SRP sets provisions for the compensation of land, houses, structures, crops, trees

and livelihood losses caused due to the implementation of this sub-project. According to ADB policy, preparation of RP depends upon the degree of severity caused by a project. "A full resettlement plan is required if " 200 or more people experience loss of productive and other assets (including land), incomes and livelihood, or equal number of people are affected by losing housing, community structures, resources and services" Full plan is also required if 100 or more affected people are vulnerable indigenous peoples". Temporary loss of land and assets, crops and income foregone on agricultural land come under temporary impacts and so are the people affected regardless in what numbers. The 359 people affected by ICB-01 are affected temporarily and by definition only a Short Resettlement Plan is required". A Project Management Unit (PMU) in Lahore has been established in order to implement resettlement activities that are responsible for coordinating the preparation and implementation of this RP and to supervise the Resettlement Activities.

1.2. Design Level details

6 According to the design proposed works for rehabilitation and upgradation of Main Canal under ICB-01 are as follows:

• Rehabilitation of existing structures ( 3 Nos)

• Construction of new Head Regulator (21 Nos)

• Construction of new Falls (3 Nos)

• Construction of cattle ghats/ washing places (33 Nos)

• New foot/VR bridges (4 Nos)

7 In accordance with the design, all the proposed civil work activities will remain within the RoW (which is 325'+ from center line on both sides of the Main Canal).. This Short Resettlement Plan is prepared to address the resettlement issues and compensate the affected persons (APs) within the area limits where civil works are to be executed and is defined as corridor of impact (CoI). The CoI is taken 225' from the center line on both sides of the Canal. The designated CoI is well within the available RoW except in the reaches from RD 28+000 to 31+000, 63+800 to 65+600 and 110+800 to 113+000, where diversion channels are to be excavated to ensure uninterrupted water supplies to the downstream water users. During preparation of design different alternative design options were considered and studied to minimize the resettlement and ensure execution of the proposed works smoothly and in a sustainable manner.

1.3. Alternative Options for Minimizing the Resettlement Impact

8 The following alternative options were considered in the preparation of engineering design in finalizing the alignment to minimize the resettlement impacts.

(i) Take Full RoW as Work Area Limit

The first alternative available was to consider the available RoW of the main canal as work area limit for the execution of canal improvement works. This area is available with the IPD almost 325 ft. wide strip from the center line, on both sides of the canal. A preliminary survey of the RoW was carried out by the resettlement team and it was revealed that a in certain sections of the main canal and distributaries, the RoW was encroached by the public as well as private community owned structures like residences, shops, workshops,


3

schools. Adoption of this option causes huge resettlement impacts of complicated nature which could cause delay in the execution of project works.

(ii) Reduce Work Area Limits to CoI

In order to minimize the resettlement impacts of the proposed interventions, discussions were made with the design engineers and it was decided that instead of taking into consideration the entire width of RoW, the work area limits will be confined to the CoI.. This approach has helped in minimizing the resettlement related impacts to a significant extent. Additionally, most of the works are chosen specifically to be carried out during closure periods. This will ensure un-interrupted water availability for irrigation and other community uses from the system. Besides, wherever necessary, diversion channels are proposed to ensure regular water supplies.

(iii) Alternative Design Options

Besides above, wherever it was possible alternative design options were also taken into account to minimize the Resettlement Impacts without compromising the stability and safety standards for canal embankments. Specific design alternatives were considered to avoid relocation and resettlement of encroachers at RD 62+500 as envisaged by the ADB policy and following design alternatives were reviewed critically and the most appropriate and effective design option is adopted.

a) Earthen Dowel with Service Road.

This design alternative is finalized for rehabilitation and upgradation works for entire ICB-01 but at RD 62+500 it has certain resettlement issues like relocation and resettlement of encroachers/squatters. Though this design alternative provides maximum bank stability however, it warrants shifting of 25 households (encroachers) to execute the civil works. Besides, provision of service road could easily be dropped in this particular reach as carpeted road is available adjoining the canal bank which could be used for this purpose. Therefore this design option is not adopted.

b) Earthen Dowel with no Service Road.

This design alternative helped to reduce the CoI at RD 62+500 with no resettlement issues. However, it is not opted due to reduced canal bank stability.

c) Earthen Dowel with Wall Structure.

Third design alternative is the earthen dowel with wall structure and no service road in this particular reach. Though it provides the bank stability with required safety standards but it has additional cost for construction of wall. A cost comparison for Design Alternative (a) and (c) were reviewed and being more appropriate to reduce/minimize the resettlement issues without compromising the safety standards for canal bank was finalized for this particular reach i.e RD 62+500

9 In general option (ii) has been adopted to assess and measure the resettlement impacts of the proposed project works under ICB-01. However, at RD 62+500 option (iii) (c) has been supported to minimize the resettlement issues at this particular reach.

1.4. Objectives of the Short Resettlement Plan (SRP)

10 The SRP covers the ICB-01(Main Canal RD 00+500 to 196+000). The main focus of this plan is to set out strategies for the mitigation of adverse effects and to maintain living standards of affected households by the sub-project activities. It includes the entitlement package for affected families/persons, the institutional framework, mechanisms for consultation, grievances resolution, timeframe and budget estimates as per provisions of the ADB approved RF. The following are the specific objectives of this SRP:

• To prepare an assessment of temporary or permanent impacts of the sub- project;

• To evaluate private and public assets/structures under project impact and

• To prepare a strategy that will ensure timely removal/demolishing & relocation of structures and compensation to APs

• To conduct a socio-economic survey of the sub-project area;

• To identify and protect archeological, historical, religious and cultural heritage in the sub-project area.

1.5. Layout of SRP

11 The layout as suggested in the ADB approved RF for Tranche-1 sub-projects, has been adopted in the preparation of the present document, as follows.

• Scope of land acquisition and resettlement

• Objectives, policy framework and entitlements

• Consultation and participation in grievance redress

• Compensation, relocation and income restoration

• Institutional framework

• Resettlement budget and financing

• Implementation schedule

2. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT

2.1. Land Acquisition and Resettlement 12 No permanent land acquisition will be required in case of ICB-01. However, some land

will have to be acquired on temporary basis for diversions at three locations. This land will be acquired under the provisions of LAA 1894. Other proposed works will be confined to the already available RoW. Entire RoW will not be used for the civil works execution as most of the civil works will be carried out within the CoI. The project will exert temporary resettlement impacts on squatters / illegal settlers along the CoI, such as temporary dislocation of business structures, residential structures, religious structures, community fixtures and temporarily loss of income sources. For the assessment and evaluation of these impacts, the following methodology has been adopted.

2.2. Approach and Methodology

13 The assessment of the project impacts on land, houses / buildings / structures and income from crops, trees and business has been made by a well trained and experienced team comprising sociologists, economists and resettlement expert. The scope of land acquisition and assessment of resettlement issues has been made by adopting a well defined approach and methodology. The methodology is framed after detailed review and perusal of the project objectives and the requirements of the study. The envisaged approach is based on the identification of resettlement impacts due to the project and prepares Entitlement Matrix (EM), implementation schedule and M & E strategy for the successful implementation of SRP, as mitigation measures. The Consultant’s approach and methodology for achieving the study objectives is based on the following criteria:

• Detailed consultations with the client throughout the project

• Close review of background reports

• Frequent meetings with relevant IPD officials / subject specialists

• The experience of the project team in implementation of projects of similar nature in Pakistan.

2.3. Collection and Review of Available Data / Information

14 Data / information relating to the socio-economic characteristics of the sub-project was collected from the concerned Local Government Offices, Revenue Department, Agriculture Department, Forest Department, Fisheries Department etc. at Okara and Kasur districts. The Census Reports for these districts were also consulted.

2.4. Collection of Primary Data

15 The preparation of SRP required the collection of data / information from the real field settings. To achieve this end, comprehensive questionnaire for data collection were prepared in the light of the experience gained during the reconnaissance survey. The questionnaires were prepared for the three types of field surveys, as described below.

• Village profile survey for the collection of macro level information relating to the existence of socio-economic infrastructure in the villages / rural settlements falling within CoI.

• Census survey to document the project affected persons (PAPs), their assets, family profiles and economic status.


8

• Socio-economic survey to develop an overall baseline profile of the affected people in respect of their socio-economic behavior, vulnerability and attitudes towards the developmental activity to be carried out in the area.

16 A pre-structured pro-forma, provided as Appendix-I was used to collect the information on socio-agro-economic characteristics of the villages along the canal corridor. The data collected through this survey has been used in developing the Socio-economic Profile of the Project Corridor.

17 A complete census of the APs within the CoI, on 100 % basis, was carried out by using a pre-structured questionnaire shown as Appendix-II. The census aimed at to register and document the number and status of APs likely to be physically displaced or affected otherwise as a result of the project; and therefore, entitled to compensation. Onset of census of APs i.e October 06, 2009 was established as cut-off date to determine the eligibility for entitlements of compensation under the project. The cut-of date was announced publicly during individual consultations as well as group discussions and community was informed that people moving into the CoI after this date will not be considered as entitled to any compensation.

18 A sample survey in the Project corridor was carried out. The purpose was to develop a socio-economic baseline of the affected people along the section of the main canal under ICB-01. For this purpose, the total number of APs was taken as the universe of the study. To get a representative sample to ensure authenticity of socio-economic data, the size of study sample was taken 40%, however ADB requires that at least 25%, of the total affected households should be taken as sample for socio-economic survey. The number of AFs was identified as 55 and thus, a sample of 22 households was selected for socio-economic analysis. The sample covered both categories of the affected households, i.e. land affected and structures affected households. A pre-structured questionnaire, shown as Appendix-III was used for data collection.

19 Consultations were made with the stakeholders and general public. Consultative meetings, scoping sessions and focused group discussions were held at different places within the project corridor to learn about the views and concerns of the public on the proposed development works. The concerns raised by the stakeholders were considered in the SRP. The main objectives of the consultation were:

(i) To provide a platform to the stakeholders, to voice concerns or suggestions to the Project team;

(ii) To develop a collective sense of ownership by the stakeholders for the activities of the Project team; and

(iii) To prepare a compensation package for the affected persons encompassing their concerns and suggestions.

(iv) To announce cut-of date for entitlement of compensations under the project.

2.5. Identification of Affected Persons (APs)

20 Any person, whose land, asset / infrastructure, source of income or access to resources is likely to be affected by the project works, is defined as AP. These include the owners of privately owned land to be acquired on temporary basis. The other APs include the owners of structures and assets located on the banks of the canal. Most of them are untitled residents living in the area for a long time. The data has indicated that 55 households fall in the CoI. The affected households are categorized into two groups. In one group, there are 27 AFs (49 percent) due to temporary land acquisition for diversion and in the second


9

group, 28 AFs (51 percent) like small business, structure and fixture etc will be under project impact. The information relating to the categories of affected persons is provided in Table 2.1 and the details are given in Annexure -1 and 2.

2.6. Occupation and Income of AFs

21 The survey has revealed that agriculture is the main occupation of the AFs with 49 percent involvement, followed by 51 percent earning their livelihoods by small business etc. The affected people and their families would have a direct impact on their income due to loss of business activities. The income of APs is provided in Table 2.1.

22 According to the data collected from field the APs are grouped into three professions. These include farmer, boating and small business (owners of tea stalls and road side small hotels, mechanics, barbers, butchers and cobblers, etc). The income provided in the above table for each professional group indicates the APs falling in business category fall under the inflation adjusted official poverty line of Rs.1300.00 per capita/month and hence, are designated as vulnerable. Other categories of the APs are earning higher than the poverty line.

2.7. Assessment of Impacts

23 This sub-project will need to clear Corridor of Impact (CoI), mostly falling within the Right of Way (RoW) for civil works execution. Diversion channels are provided at three locations which will require occupation of private lands for a period of three years. on temporary basis. In some sections of the sub-project, the CoI is occupied by encroachers/squatters for commercial / residential and religious / community structures and fixtures etc. All these are considered in the assessment of project impacts.

2.8. Land Acquisition on Temporary Basis for Diversions

24 The land shall be occupied temporarily for a period of three years at three locations along RD 28+000 to 31+000, 63+800 to 65+600 and 110+800 to 113+000 under ICB-01. For this purpose, Section 35 of the LAA 1894 will be invoked. This Section lay down the procedure for temporary occupation of Land for public purpose. It require notification under Section 35 to proclaim the interest of the government for temporary occupation of specified land, notice and hear persons interested to negotiate terms and conditions of the temporary occupation of land and award of agreed rent. The lease agreements shall be made with the land owners by PMU on negotiated rent as per provisions of this Section. The payment of agreed rent/ award shall be made through the Revenue Authority/concerned Land Acquisition Collector. The proposed land is cultivated and most of the owners of these lands are small farmers. However, APs will not lose their entire land holding. Only fractional land from individual affectees will be temporarily occupied. The land falling in two diversions at RD 27 and RD 109 is being irrigated from LBDC main canal, while land for diversion at RD 63 is irrigated from Bambanwali Ravi Bedian


10

Canal (BRB). Total area to be occupied for diversions is about 270 Kanals approximately (33.68 acres). The quantity of land to be occupied for each diversion is summarized in Table 2.2.

2.9. Impact on Farm Income

25 The cropping pattern includes wheat and fodder as main Rabi Crops; and Rice, sugarcane and fodder is the major Kharif Crops. To determine the impact on the farm income the income of the crops has been calculated on the basis of area grown, average yield and the current market price (2009-2010 prices). The cropping pattern for Rabi & Kharif seasons with yearly average income as derived from field survey is given in table below 2.3.

2.10. Impact on Privately Owned Structures

26 Different types of privately owned structures such as residential houses and boundary walls will be affected by the project works. Besides, some moveable business structure like kiosks and boats come under the impact and need temporary relocation from CoI.. The demolishing and relocation of these structures (moveable or immoveable) will have a temporary impact. The data of different types of affected structures is given in Table 2.4.

2.11. Impact on Community Owned Assets / Structures

27 The community owned assets / structures are very sensitive in view of their impacts and need special care during execution of the sub-project. Although, in the CoI of ICB-01 no such community structure is encountered with which community has special affinity, however, some hand pumps installed for charity purposes and open prayer places are falling under impact. The community structures to be affected by the project works are listed in Table 2.5 and details are provided in Annex-3

1 Prayer Place 2 2 Hand Pump 13 Total 15


2.12. Impacts on Vulnerable 28 The AFs are assessed according to their present means of livelihood and income levels to

determine their vulnerability according to the official poverty line (OPL). In order to make a fair judgment of the vulnerable, the income of the individual AFs has been considered. The household, which have income below poverty line are labeled vulnerable household. Out of 55 AFs, 18 AFs have been found earning below OPL and are considered as vulnerable. Their incomes are fragile and any change in their socio- economic equilibrium also comprehends negative effects.

2.13. Impacts on Boatmen

29 There are three locations on the main canal under ICB-01, where the distance between the two bridges is long and a boat is used by the people to cross the canal. Accordingly, three boatmen earn their livelihood from this source of income. The execution of canal improvement works will bear temporary and permanent impacts on the income of these boatmen. Out of three such locations, construction of bridges has been proposed at two sites at RD 178+000 and RD188+000. Thus, the boat service at these locations will not require and the boatmen at these locations will be deprived of their incomes on permanent basis. The other one boatman will suffer with temporary income loss impacts during the execution of project works.

2.14. Impacts on Women Headed Households

30 During the surveys of the sub-project area, it was found that one women headed households exist in the CoI of ICB-01. It belongs to farming community, whose land would be acquired for diversion at RD 63+000. The female land owner will be compensated according to the prevailing land rent.

2.15. Impacts on Trees

31 The privately owned trees will be cut from the area to be acquired for diversion of canal from three locations. The number of trees to be cut is identified as 264 out of which, 32 are mature and the remaining 232 are saplings. The owners of the trees will be allowed to sale the wood of these trees. No fruit trees owned by the people have been identified for removal from the CoI.

32 About 9249 matured non-fruit trees falling in the CoI belonging to the Forest Department were identified for removal. However, to mitigate the adverse impacts due to cutting of these trees, provision for compensatory plantation at a ratio of 1:5, through the Forest Department has been made in the budget. The number of trees to be cut is provided in

2.16. Socio-Economic Characteristics of the AFs 33 After the identification of the AFs and their losses due to project works, the next step was

to investigate and determine their socioeconomic characteristics and living standard. This analysis was based on the findings of socio-economic survey of the AFs. The sample for this survey was determined as per ADB requirements as detailed in Para-17 above. The socio-economic study aimed at to assess the present condition of the affected households and to appraise project impacts on their livelihood. The information on demographic characteristics, education, health, occupations, source of income, household expenditures, land holding, etc. of the AFs was collected.

2.17. Population and Family Composition

34 According to the results of the socio-economic survey, the total population of the selected study sample comes to 182 persons, comprising 71 males and 54 females. The number of children below 10 years of age works out as 57, comprising 28 male and 29 females.

2.18. Education and Literacy Levels

35 Out of 182 persons, the number of literate persons comes to 69, which were calculated to be 38 percent of the total population. Out of the total literate, the persons having primary level of education were 18 percent. The respondents with middle level and matriculate level education were 8 percent each, respectively. The respondents with intermediate and graduation level education were 01 percent and 02 percent, respectively. It is worth mentioning here that among the total APs, law graduates and people having technical education diplomas and religious education were also found, apart from the study sample. The Information in respect of education and literacy levels of the sample population is provided in Table 2.7.

2.19. Income and Expenditure of the Sample Respondents

36 The analysis indicates that the main occupations of the sample population were found as farmers, laborers, tea stall, shop keepers, and boatmen. The figures in the following table depicted that majority of the respondents (45%) were earning Rs, 15000 and above per month. They belonged to farming community, while the remaining respondents were involved in different small activities. The income of the respondents is categorized in following Table 2.8.

38 The data indicates that the expenditure on food and non-food items comes to about 73 percent whereas the expense on utilities and health care has 21 percent and 6 percent respectively of total household expenditure. The total expenses calculated at 72 percent against the monthly income amounting Rs: 400,421/- of the respondents. The saving rate comes out 28 percent. Most of the families spend their savings on construction of pacca house on priority followed by education of their children, to purchase of motor cycle, refrigerator and mobile phone etc.

2.20. Available Social Amenities in the Project Area 39 The results of the socio-economic survey reveal that electricity was available in the project

area. However, about 91 percent of the respondents were enjoying this facility whereas 9 percent of the respondents had no access to the electricity. Among those availing this facility, about 45 percent were satisfied with the quality of services whereas 55 percent showed their dissatisfaction. Education is the other second facility, which was available in the area to 50 percent of the respondents. Out of them, 64 percent were satisfied with the quality of services, while 36 percent showed their dissatisfaction. Availability of sewerage/ drainage facility was reported by 5 percent of the respondents and about 100 % were satisfied with the quality of services provided. Other amenities like telephone and health care were partially available in the project corridor. Gas and water supply was available to the respondents living in the city of Renala Khurd as reported by the


14

respondents. The information in respect of access to social amenities and their quality of services is given in Table 2.10.

in which they were residing. These are categorized as pacca houses, semi-pacca houses and kacha houses. Pacca The house or building constructed with concrete and / or bricks fall in pacca category. House or building constructed with burnt bricks and mud comes under semi-pacca category whereas house constructed with un-burnt bricks and mud, or temporary wooden poles etc are designated ad as kacha category.

41 The information about the housing conditions of the respondents reflect that majority of the respondents, about 55 percent live in semi-pacca houses followed by 36 percent living in pacca houses. The respondents living in kacha houses were only 09 percent of the total sample.

2.22. Women’s Role in Socio-economic Activities

42 The survey has revealed that the participation rate of women in various socio-economic activities in the project corridor is generally high, 100 percent in case of household activities and child caring. Their participation rate in case of property matters, social obligations, farm activities and livestock rearing stood at 21 percent, 49 percent, 35 percent and 43 percent, respectively. None of the respondent females were reported to be involved in the socio-political activities.

43 As far as decision making for different activities is concerned, their involvement in case of child caring matters was the highest, about 94 percent and in case of farm activities/ matters was at lowest, about 30 percent. For other matters, the involvement of the women was between these two limits. Information in respect of women’s participation and decision making in the routine socio-economic life is presented in Table 2.11.

2.23. Gender Issues

44 The female population in Pakistan according to the 1998, Census, is around 48 %. In view of this situation, the gender issues assume special focus and need to be properly addressed and evaluated. Gender survey was carried out to analyze the differences in social roles between females and males, the constraints faced by the females in gaining access to various activities and participation in development activities. The respondents belonged to farming community, school teachers, health attendants and elderly women. The results of the survey have shown that women were an integral part of the socio-economic life of the rural economy as shown in Table 2.11. Women of the area took active part in household activities (like food cooking, washing of clothes, carrying of fodder for livestock and potable water for human consumption, etc.), child caring and meeting with social obligations. They also actively participate in farm activities like hoeing, harvesting, cotton picking, grain storage and dung cakes for fuel purpose. The above data indicates that as far as participation in carrying out different activities is concerned, they share with the males in every household and field activity. However, they are not considered by the males in making the decisions about various socio-economic matters, particularly relating to activities, which require interaction with others such as decisions about children education, farm business, sale & purchase of livestock or property, etc. The male respondents were of the view about this attitude that traditionally they have been undertaking such responsibilities and they do not think that the females have much exposure and courage to decide upon such matters.

2.24. Boat Operating Arrangements 45 Currently, a number of boatmen are operating their boats to transport passengers traveling

across the main canal on regular basis particularly during day time. The boat operating system mainly relies on iron rope tide with mature tree on either side of canal banks use as anchor. Since the trees used as pole (anchor) shall be cut down during construction. The RF provides that a person losing his source of income on permanent basis will be entitled for compensation equal to one year income lost. As the income narrated by the boatmen cannot be verified from any documentary source, the OPL has been taken as the base for calculating the standard rate for monthly income to calculate compensation. According to Para-2.26 and table 2.12 the standard rate for livelihood allowance is calculated as Rs. 7,800/- per month by applying the OPL figure of Rs.1300.00 per capita / month and taking average house hold size comprising of six persons. Thus, the compensation amount for the affected household works out to be Rs.93,600/-. The same amount has been provided as compensation in the SRP.

2.25. Conflict Resolution Mechanism in the Project Area

46 During social assessment regarding social issues and its resolution mechanism, it was found that most of the local disputes among the people are minor. Of which, distribution of land in inheritance, warabandi and other social give and take are very common. Usually, efforts are made to resolve these issues through panchayat. Sometimes, the unresolved issues are referred to the local political influential. If it is not settled, then the party/ies access to the local police station (thana) or court. The local people prefer to settle their disputes through the panchayat to avoid from long enmity and loss of time & money.

2.26. Asset Valuation 47 A valuation survey was undertaken for estimating the unit rate for compensation for

different types of losses, such as residential structures, commercial structures, trees, community owned structures religious structures, asset, etc., Asset valuation was made in consultation with the community/ affected people at current market rates. The rates were

also collected from the nearest towns of Bhai Pheru, Pattoki, Renala Khurd and Okara markets for comparison / verification purposes. Using these data, the unit rate used for the valuation of affected structures was adjusted at a reasonable level. The District Building Department Rates, Government of Punjab did not apply, because the type of construction was not comparable due to typical and mixed type of construction.

2.27. Standard Rates Adopted For All the Assets

48 The following procedures/ methods were used for the proper assessment of unit compensation values of different items/ assets located within the CoI as standard for valuation of assets as given in Table 2.12.

• Land will be occupied temporarily on lease basis and lease price is determined through negotiation with the land owners keeping in view the prevailing market rates as per provisions of the LAA 1894. Once the agreement of lease is signed the owners will be allowed to harvest sown crops and stop subsequent cultivation for agreed period.

• Yearly net income for two consecutive cropping seasons i.e Rabi and Kharif, is made basis to calculate standard rate for calculation of one year farm income to be provided as additional assistance for restoration of farm income, for envisaged financial implication for cultivation just after handing over occupation of land to respective landowners at the termination of lease period.

• Houses are valued at replacement value/cost based on cost of materials, type of construction, labor, transport and other construction costs.

• Hand pumps and other fixtures are valued at current installation cost.

• Shifting allowance is provided for moving the affected assets to another place by the owners.

• During negotiations it was agreed that affected trees will be property of the owners and they will be free to sell these in the open market or retain for personal use. In addition, they will be paid replenishment cost @ 1:10 for mature trees and @ 1:2 for saplings, in accordance with rates obtained from the Forest Department.

3 LEGAL AND POLICY BACKGROUND

3.1 Pakistan’s Law and Regulations on Land Acquisition and Resettlement 49 The Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1894 is the main law regulating land acquisition

for public purpose in Pakistan. Each province has made amendments in the LAA, 1894 according to its requirements. The LAA and its implementation Rules require that following impacts identification and valuation, land and crops are compensated in cash at market rate to titled landowners and registered land tenants/users, respectively. The LAA mandates that land valuation is to be based on the latest 3-5 years average registered land sale rates though, recently, the median rate over the past 1 year, or even current rates, were applied in some cases. Due to widespread land under-valuation by the Revenue Department, current market rates are now frequently applied, plus 15% Compulsory Acquisition Surcharge as provided in the LAA.

50 Based on the LAA only legal owners and tenants registered with the Land Revenue Department or possessing formal lease agreements, are eligible to compensation. Users of Rights of Way (ROW) are not considered "affected" by project activities and thus not entitled to any mitigating measure, compensation, or livelihood support. Also, there is no legal obligation to provide title-less land users, unregistered tenants, squatters or encroachers for rehabilitation either in form of house-for-house or land-for-land replacement, or in form of cash. It is to be noted, however, that there are precedents where legally ineligible APs have been compensated or rehabilitated. Projects such as Chotiari, Ghazi Barotha, and National Highways Authority road construction have awarded compensation to unregistered tenants and other forms of AP (sharecroppers, squatters).

51 The LAA also does not automatically mandate for specific rehabilitation/assistance provisions benefiting the poor, vulnerable groups, or severely affected APs, nor does it automatically provide for income/livelihood losses or resettlement expenses rehabilitation. Though, often this is done; it is the responsibility of affected persons to apply for benefits, rather than the responsibility of the project proponent to automatically provide them.

52 As mentioned above, exceptions to the rule can be explained by the fact that the law is not rigid and is broadly interpreted at the provincial level depending on operational requirements, local needs, and socio-economic circumstances. Recourse is often taken to adhoc arrangements, agreements and understandings for resettlement in difficult situations.

53 As is clear from the above discussion that despite all its weaknesses, the LAA of 1894 is the only applicable, where land is required permanently or temporarily. In this subproject, most of the civil works will be carried out in the CoI and a maximum into the ROW. Land will be required for diversions at the main canal. At some sites, for proposed diversions, land will be occupied on lease basis at local prevailing market rates with the consultation of land owners. The clauses 35 of LAA 1894 are applicable for temporary land acquisition in this subproject.

3.2 ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy, 1995 54 The ADB Policy on Involuntary Resettlement is based on the following principles:

• Involuntary resettlement is to be avoided or at least minimized.


19

• Compensation will ensure the maintenance of the APs’ pre-project standards of living.

• APs should be fully informed and consulted on LAR compensation options.

• APs’ socio-cultural institutions should be supported /used as much as possible.

• Compensation will be carried out with equal consideration of women and men.

• Lack of formal legal land title should not be a hindrance to rehabilitation.

• Particular attention should be paid to households headed by women and other vulnerable groups, such as IPs and ethnic minorities, and appropriate assistance should be provided to help them improve their status.

• LAR should be conceived and executed as a part of the project, and the full costs of compensation should be included in project costs and benefits.

• Compensation and resettlement subsidies will be fully provided prior to clearance of right of way/ ground leveling and demolition.

3.3 Comparison of Pakistan’s Land Acquisition Act and ADB Resettlement Policy 1995. 55 Differences between Pakistan’s Law and ADB policy are outlined in Table 3.1 below.

Table 3.1: Summary Comparison of Pakistan’s LAA and ADB Resettlement Policy Pakistan’s Land Acquisition Act, 1894 ADB Involuntary Resettlement Policy, 1995

Land compensation only for titled landowners or holders of customary rights.

Lack of title should not be a bar to compensation and/or rehabilitation.

Crop losses compensation provided only to registered landowners and sharecrop/lease tenants.

Crop losses compensation provided to landowners and sharecrop/lease tenants whether registered or not

Land valuation based on the median registered land transfer rate over the previous 3 years.

Land valuation based on current market rate/replacement value

Land Acquisition Collector (LAC) is the only pre-litigation final authority to decide disputes and address complaints regarding quantification and assessment of compensation for the affected assets

Disputes, complaints and grievances are resolved informally through community participation in the Grievance Redress Committees (GRC), Local governments, and - and/or local-level community based organizations (CBOs)

The decisions regarding land acquisition and compensations to be paid are published in the official Gazette and notified in convenient places so that the people affected get aware of the same

Information related to quantification and costing of land, structures and other assets, entitlements, and amounts of compensation and financial assistance are to be disclosed to the affected persons prior to appraisal.

No provision for income/livelihood rehabilitation measure, allowances for severely affected APs and vulnerable groups, or resettlement expenses

The ADB policy requires rehabilitation for income/livelihood, for severe losses, and for expenses incurred by the APs during the relocation process.

3.4 Remedial Measures to Bridge the Gap

56 In principle, Pakistan’s Law and ADB Policy adhere not only to the objective of compensation for affected families, but also to the objective of rehabilitation. However, Pakistan’s law is unclear on how rehabilitation is to be achieved and in practice the provision of rehabilitation is left to ad hoc arrangements taken by the


20

local governments and the specific project proponents. To clarify these issues and reconcile eventual gaps between Pakistan’s Law and ADB Policy (1995), the EA prepared a Resettlement Framework for the Project, ensuring compensation at replacement cost of all items, the rehabilitation of informal settlers, and the provision of subsidies or allowances for AFs that may be dislocated, suffer business losses, or may be severely affected.

3.5 Sub-Project Resettlement Principles

57 This SRP is anchored on the philosophy that government development projects must serve the needs of society and that in the design and implementation of such projects, all efforts were exercised to ensure that AFs would not be worse off. In case of dislocation of small business temporary structures, relocation costs and two months income along with additional assistance would be provided. The basic principles and guidelines of resettlement include the following:

• Each AP will be issued an Identity Card, which will be used to confirm his eligibility.

• All APs are equally eligible for cash compensation and rehabilitation assistance, irrespective of their land ownership status.

• The compensation packages shall reflect relocation costs for all the losses such as land, trees, structures, businesses, because the impacts are temporary in nature.

• The small business community within CoI (non-permanent structures/stalls etc.) whose businesses are likely to be affected temporarily during the civil works will be provided a financial assistance to support their income losses during the construction period.

• Compensation and resettlement will be satisfactorily completed before contractors are mobilized.

• APs will be systematically informed and consulted about the sub-project and SRP will be made available in local language (Urdu) to the affected persons and other stakeholders.

• The consultative process shall include not only those affected but all the stakeholders.

3.6 Compensation Eligibility and Entitlements

3.6.1. Eligibility for Compensation

58 Compensation eligibility is determined on the basis of the cut-off-date set for this sub-project. APs, who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off-date, were not considered eligible for compensation. They however, will be given advance notice to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to this sub-project implementation, as per provisions of RF.

3.6.2. Compensation Entitlements 59 Entitlement provisions for AFs losing houses, sources of income etc. will include

provisions for house and buildings losses at replacement cost basis, transportation allowance for relocation of their affected structures, and livelihood allowance. The vulnerable households will be provided allowance in addition to the other admissible compensations. These entitlements are added in the compensation matrix (Table 3.2).


21

3.6.3. Entitlements Matrix (EM) for Main Canal (ICB-01) 60 Resettlement tasks under this sub-project will be implemented according to the

compensation eligibility and Entitlements Matrix (EM) in accordance with the provisions of the ADB approved Resettlement Framework (RF) for LBDCIP. A summary of the compensation matrix is expressed in Table 3.2.

4 CONSULTATION AND GRIEVANCE REDRESS PARTICIPATION 61 During impact assessment, frequent meetings and consultations were held with the

community and other stakeholders “viz a viz” IPD, PIDA, local Government Representatives and Local Welfare Societies/NGOs and community influential. All pros and cons of the project were discussed in details. The project objectives were explained to the participants. The detail about the Local NGOs consulted and apprised about the project and LAR initiatives adopted to compensate the Affected Persons is attached as Appendix VI. Their concerns, doubts and fears were documented and taken care off during discussions to promote the acceptability of the project within the folks to ensure its sustainability. Most of them were worried about compensation of their lost economic assets. During field visits, a series of public consultations and scoping sessions were carried out at various locations on the Main Canal (ICB-01).It facilitated to prepare SRP. The main objectives of the consultations included:

• Introduction of the LBDCIP;

• Rapport building with APs;

• Assessment of the impacts of sub-project, which may occur and their mitigation;

• Introduction of ADB funding and involuntary resettlement policy to the stakeholders;

• Compensation, entitlements and disbursement policy; and

• Explanation of monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of this SRP.

4.1. Document Disclosure

62 The summary of this SRP will be translated into Urdu and will be disclosed to the APs at relevant PIU and respective offices of Sub Divisional Officers of Balloki and Okara Divisions of LBDC immediately after Government and ADB approval. The SRP in English will also be made available in the offices of Superintendent Engineer (SE) LBDC Circle and Executive Engineers Okara and Balloki Divisions of LBDC. Finally a primer in Urdu summarizing compensation provisions will be sent to all APs. Besides, formal mode of communication as transpired above informal modes like oral communication and simple notes bearing important information about affected assets valuation, compensation rates, complaint procedure, payment and civil work schedule will be used for disclosure of the SRP.

4.2. Consultation with APs 63 The consultation process was initiated by holding a consultative meeting with the

stakeholders. The participants in consultations included the APs, farmers, businessmen/ shopkeepers and laborers. Besides, scoping sessions and focused group discussions were also held with the APs. The summary of main consultation meetings is given in Table 4.1. The pamphlets regarding the contents of Short Resettlement Plan and ADB guidelines in both languages English and Urdu (local) were distributed among all the participants and questions were replied. In the presentation and discussion, the following major topics were covered:

• Dissemination of sub-project activities and its benefits thereafter;

• ADB policy on Involuntary Resettlement , elements and main features;


24

64 The results showed that mostly the people were aware of the proposed project and they understood that the project for the canal is beneficial for the people of area. It was further revealed that out of a total of 55 AFs, overwhelming majority (about 91%) welcomed the LBDCIP, whereas only 4% were neutral regarding the implementation of the project. About 5 percent of the APs showed their concerns regarding the proper compensation package to the APs and its timely payment. The community raised the following concerns specific to the proposed project.

• Concern Raised: Majority of the affectees belonged to farming community. Due to the temporary occupation of their lands on lease basis, they will become landless. It will be difficult for them to keep livestock because of shortages and fodder.

Proposed Mitigation: They were assured that only a fraction of their land will be occupied by the project on temporary basis; and will be returned to the owners in its original conditions after the expiry of agreed lease period. During the leased period, they will be provided with proper amount to compensate the income loss of crops and fodder for livestock from the leased land.

• Concern Raised: Restricted mobility of common people on the bank of canal during the construction was feared by some participants.


25

Proposed Mitigation: They were, however, told that this concern has been addressed in the design and alternative routes will be provided at the construction sites for the free mobility of the people and their livestock.

• Concern Raised: APs raised their concerns regarding lease of land and its rate.

Proposed Mitigation: The APs were appraised by the Project authorities that land will be occupied temporarily for a period of three years under the LAA 1894 and the rates will be finalized with their consultation.

• Concern Raised: Some farmers highlighted their concern about water logging and seepage due to canal diversion.

Proposed Mitigation:

The engineering team briefed them that proper compaction and stone pitching along the diversion will be done in such a way to stop any adverse effect on their land.

• Concern Raised: Most of the farmers affected through temporary land occupation had small holdings. They were of the view that that government should provide land for land, so that could continue their farming and keep their family busy.

Proposed Mitigation: They were told that in this area, there is no land available with the IPD for this purpose. However, they were ensured that they will be provided with proper compensation at prevailing market rates for the loss of their incomes. They were further told that contractor will be asked to employ un-skilled labour from amongst the APs.

• Concern Raised: Another concern was raised about rehabilitation of acquired land for diversion after completion of project.

Proposed Mitigation: The APs were assured that the acquired lands will be properly rehabilitated after completion of the project, under the provisions of law.

• Concern Raised: People inquired whether they would get job opportunities during the construction period.

Proposed Mitigation:

They were a contract clause has been added in the contract documents that the contractor will employ the un-skilled labour (male and female) from the local area, as far as possible.

• Concern Raised:


26

Compensation, resettlement/ relocation to the APs should be made prior to the execution of the project.

Proposed Mitigation: The APs were assured that the RF approved by the ADB clearly describes that all the payments to the APs should be cleared before the start of civil works.

• Concern Raised: Cattle ghats and washing places at existing locations or even at new locations should be provided.

Proposed Mitigation: The APs were explained that the point was considered and the provision of cattle ghat and washing place at suitable locations ahs been made in the design.

• Concern Raised: Unavailability of irrigation water during the civil works on Main Canal was feared by majority of APs. They were of the view that civil works should be done during closure or proper diversions should be made for minimum disturbance.

Proposed Mitigation: The APs were explained that design of the project works has been prepared in such a way that maximum works will be carried out during closure of canal. In addition, diversions at three locations will also be provided to ensure the un-restricted canal flows.

• Concern Raised:

Risk to places of religious and cultural values should be considered during civil works. Infrastructure like mosques must be protected because these are our sacred religious places.

Proposed Mitigation: They were ensured that all steps, in line with the ADB policy, will be adopted to avoid/ protect any such place if falling in the CoI. However, if it is un-avoidable, then a structure of the same dimensions will be constructed on replacement basis in the nearby location.

4.3. Consultation with Local Women and Community 65 Consultations, sessions with the local women were also held. Female enumerators

conducted these consultations along with their male counterparts. The women of the area were keenly interested in the consultations. They included housewives, students, head of households, widows, school teachers and farm workers. The majority of them was illiterate. Most of them belonged to poor families living in small houses even in the tents/ kacha houses. They speculated the following issues and concerns, associated with this sub-project.

• Most of the women suggested that some ponds along the canal near the villages should be constructed for washing clothes and crockery, bathing their children as well as for other similar activities.

• Most of women suggested that, a fence for their children’s safety should be provided along the canal near the residential area.


27

• The relocation of affected business structure of their spouses will have a negative effect on their home life.

• Risk of safety, security and privacy will be increased due to outsiders working during construction work on the channel.

66 For most of the concerns / issues raised by the women, adequate provisions have been made in the design of 33 cattle ghats along the ICB-01 to provide proper spots for washing of clothes, crockery and bathing their kids. The cost for these facilities has been worked out in accordance with the need of the area and people and is accordingly included in this sub-project implementation cost. The issue of fencing was considered and dropped due to its non-viability, as this may crop up another issue of fencing the entire length of the canal depriving the community to access their lifeline resource. As far as the risks of safety, security and privacy are concerned these are well addressed in the EMP

67 The issues raised by other stakeholders / APs have been adequately addressed and incorporated in the design of the project and proper compensation has been provided vide Entitlement Matrix (EM).

5 COMPENSATION, RELOCATION AND INCOME RESTORATION

5.1. General 68 This section deals with the compensations for affected land, structures and assets that

have been proposed on the basis of the findings of the Census Survey; and under the legal and policy framework of Government of Pakistan (GoP) & Asian Development Bank (ADB) Guidelines. The SRP focuses on providing compensations for the lost assets and suggests measures to restore their livelihoods to former living standards of the APs.

5.2. Compensation for Affected Land and Assets 69 The compensation rates of various construction type structures are adopted in

consideration of the current local market rates and consultations with affected persons. The number of affected structures/assets of various construction types comes to 40. The rates for pacca, semi-pacca, kacha and thatched types of construction are provided in Table 2.12. The compensation costs for wooden kiosks (Khokha) were assessed with the consultation of owners.

5.2.1 Compensation for Land to be Acquired on Temporary Basis

70 The land shall be occupied temporarily for a period of three years. For this purpose, Section 35 of the LAA, 1894 will be invoked. This Section lay down the procedure for procurement of temporary occupation of Land for public purpose. It require notification under Section 35 to proclaim the interest of the government for temporary occupation of specified land, notice and hear persons interested to negotiate terms and conditions of the temporary occupation of land and award of agreed rent. The lease agreements shall be made with the land owners by PMU on negotiated rent as per provisions of this Section. The payment of agreed rent/ award shall be made through the Revenue Authority/concerned Land Acquisition Collector.

71 The rent for the land has been negotiated with the land owners. As a results of these discussions/ negotiations, annual rent @ Rs.50,000/= per acre/ annum was agreed. The proceedings of negotiation are attached as Annexure-13 and copy of agreement is attached as Appendix-V. Agreements are being made with the owners accordingly. However, the award of rent to the land owners shall be made through the District Revenue Offices. The land to be occupied for diversions on temporary basis falls in three revenue estates namely Jaja Kalan, Halla and Kuda Meelo. The request for procurement of occupation of identified land has been sent to respective Revenue Collectors of District Kasur and District Okara. Land will be occupied on temporary basis at three locations under ICB-01 initially for three years, under Section 35 of LAA 1894.

5.2.2 Additional Assistance for Restoration of Farm Income

72 The occupation of land shall be handed over to the landowners after due restoration of land in its original condition for which negotiated and agreed rent has been paid to the owners as compensation for 03 years lease period, to off-set the income loss during the lease period. An analysis of the total land holdings of the land owners reflected that none of them was losing his entire land due to temporary occupation of land. Hence, adverse impacts on livestock were not envisaged; in view of the adequate cash compensation and remaining available land with the APs for carrying their agricultural activities. As per civil works contract, the restoration of land is responsibility of the civil works contractor. However to ensure smooth cultivating activities on the vacated/ re-occupied land by the owners without any financial implications, they have been provided an amount, in addition to already paid land rent, equivalent to one year’s net income as “Additional Assistance for Restoration of Farm Income”. For this purpose, per acre yearly average net income is calculated as Rs.37,695/=, on the basis of socioeconomic base line survey data of project area as provided in Table 2.3. The per acre amount has been rounded as Rs.38,000/= and same is adopted as standard unit rate in Table 2.12. The additional assistance for restoration of farm income shall be paid at the time of handing over the occupation of land to the farmers.

Table 5.2: Valuation of Land to be occupied and Additional Assistance for Restoration of Farm Income

5.2.3 Compensation for Privately Owned Structures

73 The privately owned affected structures include (i) residences, (ii) residential sheds, (iii) community owned structures and (iv) commercial structures such as wooden khokhas and sheds. Typical residential structures usually comprise of one room with a veranda and small courtyard having a boundary wall and open yard or only shed. The Kacha, semi pacca and pacca assets / structures have been evaluated separately. To estimate the replacement value of residential and commercial structures, the assets have been standardized for compensation on an average unit rate per sq. ft. as given in Table 2.12, based on the consultation with the affected persons as well as other community members along the project corridor, physical observations, current material & labor costs, and size & type of structures, etc. Thus, the adverse temporary impacts of the sub-project to the structures have been mitigated by providing compensation accordingly. The detail is provided in table 5.3 below.

5.2.4 Compensation for Community Owned Structures/Assets

74 The affected community structures / assets include prayer places and hand pumps. No other community structures like community centre, schools, mosques and archaeological monuments etc. fall within the CoI. The extent of loss to the community structures is compensated adequately. So, the facility will not be disturbed for the community. The extent of impact both in quantity and estimated costs has been calculated and is summarized in Table 5.4.

Table 5.4: Valuation of Affected Community Owned Structures/Assets

5.2.5 Compensation for Privately Owned Trees 75 The privately owned trees will be cut from the area to be occupied for diversion of

canal from three locations. The number of trees to be cut is identified as 264 (232 small and 32 large). The trees are classified into two groups based on age, (i) Sapling (age 1 to 3 years) and (ii) Timber Wood (above 10 years). These trees are to be uprooted during execution of the project and the owners of the trees are allowed to retain the wood of these trees for their use. To compensate the loss of trees, plantation cost of one plant including its watch and ward for four years as estimated by forest department is adopted as standard rate which is to be paid to the land owners. As replenishment of these felled tree cost for plantation of 10 saplings for each adult and 2 saplings for each small (under grown) tree with four years maintenance cost is agreed

with the land owners. Thus, for felling of 32 timber age and 232 saplings, cost for re-plantation of 784 new plants, an amount Rs. 93,296/- is provided in the budget estimate as detailed in Table 5.5 below.

Table 5.5: Valuation of Affected Private Trees

5.2.6 Provisions for Compensatory Plantation

76 No fruit bearing tree would be felled in the sub-project for the execution of civil works. About 9249 trees will be affected under the administrative control of Forest Department. For these trees, compensatory plantation at 1:5 will be carried out through the Forest Department. About 46245 plants in the next 4 years will be planted along the main canal. A provision of Rs. 5503155/-(Rs 5.5 million) has been estimated in the budget. Details of the estimated compensatory plantation costs are given in Table 2.12, including all costs.

5.3. Relocation Options

5.3.1 Residential Structures 77 The Residential structures falling in CoI are constructed by encroaching land within

the RoW. To minimize the resettlement issues as envisaged under ADB Policy, different design option were taken into consideration during preparation of the SRP. All the alternates considered are discussed in detail in chapter-2. However only one residential structure is identified whereupon impact is less than 10% and will be compensated to the extent of loss.

5.3.2 Religious Structures

78 No religious structure such as mosques will need to be relocated due to project works. However, two open prayer places will be affected, which would be reconstructed at a nearby location within the RoW in consultation with the community members.

5.3.3 Business Structures

79 The owners of the shops, wooden kiosks (Khokha) and other business structures falling within the CoI will have the option to relocate themselves at a suitable feasible location in the nearby vicinity. For this purpose, they will be provided with a shifting allowance in addition to cost of the affected structure or repair and maintenance cost of wooden kiosks/boat as proposed in table 5.4 above. .

5.3.4 Additional Assistance for Vulnerable Households

80 The number of vulnerable households having monthly earnings below OPL is estimated to be 18. Their incomes are fragile and any change in their socio-economic equilibrium also leads to negative effects. These people don’t have opportunities elsewhere to work for their livelihood and that’s why they have their homes along the system to carry out petty labor. For such households, in addition to the compensation for their affected assets, an additional allowance of Rs. 7,800.00 (one month amount equal to OPL according to average household size of six persons) will be paid as additional assistance. The amount of compensation to be paid is given in Table 5.6.

5.4 Income Restoration 81 It is anticipated that the project will make a positive impact on the economy of the

area. A number of employment opportunities will be created during the construction phase, particularly for the un-skilled labor. The contractor will employ the un-skilled/skilled labor (male and female) from the local communities under clause 56 of “condition of particular applications” in the bidding document. In addition, a livelihood allowance equal to one year income based on OPL has been provided to support the AFs losing their sources of livelihood on permanent basis, for others having transitory impact on their earning will continue their business in partially damaged structures or in nearby vicinity. However, to compensate any adverse impact on their earning lively hood allowance equivalent to two month’s income as per OPL is provided in the budget. Besides, the AF having partial impact on its residential structure is compensated with one month’s income calculated according to OPL as lively hood allowance for conceived disturbance in his earning during repair of his structure.

6 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

6.1. Institutional Set-up 82 The institutional arrangements for the resettlement process of the sub project under

review involve the following agencies

• Project Management Unit (PMU) as implementation agency,

• Punjab Irrigation and Power Department (PIPD) as project proponent,

• Local Government (Revenue department) as identification and verification of land/assets

• Consultants as assistance in implementation

83 Specifically, the detailed responsibilities of each Departments\Agencies involved in the resettlement process are given below.

PIPD 84 PIPD through its Project Management Unit (PMU) has overall responsibility for the

implementation and financing of all resettlement tasks as cross-agency coordinator. The PMU will execute for the project through the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), tasked with day-to-day sub-project activities. Within the PMU, resettlement tasks will be managed by Land Acquisition and Resettlement Unit (LARU), which will organize the resettlement tasks, internally monitor RP preparation and its implementation (including surveys, asset valuation and public consultation), resettlement related cross-agency coordination and SRP approval. In implementation of these tasks, the LARU will get specific technical assistance from:

• A Resettlement Specialists Team under the PMU Support Consultants, which will assist in resettlement planning, implementation, internal M & E and training of PMU staff in accordance with ADB Involuntary Resettlement Policy;

• An Independent Agency for external monitoring hired by the PMU to conduct periodic monitoring and evaluation as the third (external) party validation for monitoring of resettlement activities.

Local Government 85 Local Government has its jurisdiction for land administration, valuation and other

resettlement related activities. Since temporary land acquisition is involved at three diversions of the proposed sub project, therefore, active involvement of District Revenue Department is essential in identification, land type, entitlement, valuation, compensation package, terms and conditions of land acquisition, usage, return to original status and payment schedule at the current market rate is a “must”. A number of other supporting officials, most notably the Patwari, (the land record keeper) will carry out specific roles such as title identification and verification in the resettlement process.

6.2. Coordination Initiatives 86 A number of provincial departments, actors and agencies have been identified to be

responsible for effective, smooth and timely compensation to the affectees and project implementation. For this purpose, the following three coordination committees would play their respective role in a synchronized manner, as required under RF of the sub


34

project.

1) LAR Steering Committee: LAR Steering Committee at Provincial level is established on 12th December, 2009 vide notification No. SO (Evl) IRRI/1-22/2006-II. It is headed by the Project Director and comprises of representative members from the following departments: • Project Director Convener

2) LAR Advisory Committee: The Committees have been notified at District level vide this office order No. LAR/2193-B Dated 09-01-2010, in the project area. The aim of this set up is to provide coordination node for SRP preparation and its implementation in a timely manner. The LAR Advisory Committees for Kasur and Okara Districts is in the process of formation.

3) Grievance Redress Committee: The GRC for ICB-01 has been established vide Office Order No.PD(LBDCIP)LAR/3547 dated 27-11-2010. It comprises of members from LARU, XEN/SDO, DO (Revenue) and a representative of APs. The GRC will facilitate the process of resolving the issues and complaints of the APs. The Deputy Director Social Safeguards is focal person and responsible for co-ordination between the members of GRC. The GRC will convene its meetings on monthly basis, or upon receipt of the grievance complaint as detailed in the Grievance Resolution Mechanism. Such meetings will be convened either in the office of the Convener of GRC, or in the office of the PIU. The GRC is not a regular body requiring specified premises for office. However, space at PIU office as well as logistics support will be provided to the GRC members by the PIU. Thus, special budget for establishment of the office of the GRC is not required. The expanses of the ex-officio members of the GRC incurred to attend such meetings will be reimbursed as payment of Traveling and Daily Allowances to the attending members from the RP implementation Charges provided in the resettlement budget. In general, functions of the Grievance Redress Committee shall be:

• Provide support to APs on problems arising out of their land / property acquisition and / or eviction from the RoW / CoI;

• Record the grievances of the APs, categorize and prioritize the grievances that need to be resolved by the committee; and

• Report to the aggrieved parties about the development regarding their grievances and decisions of the sub-project authorities.


35

6.3. Grievance Resolution Mechanism

APs will be fully informed of their rights as well as obligations and the procedures for addressing complaints whether verbally, or in writing during consultation, survey and the time of compensation. Proper care will be taken to prevent grievances rather than going through a redress process. It will also provide a public forum to raise their objections, people, who might have objections and concerns about their compensation package. During land valuation, compensation and resettlement process, various grievances can arise that might require mitigation. The major grievances that can arise may include:

• APs not enlisted;

• Losses not identified correctly;

• Compensation / assistance inadequate, or not as per Entitlement Matrix;

• Dispute about ownership;

• Delay in disbursement of compensation / assistance; and

• Improper distribution of compensation / assistance in case of joint ownership.

8.1. Process of SRP Implementation 93 The SRP will be implemented by PMU through Land and Resettlement Unit (LARU).

The LARU will be assisted by the PIUs, representatives of APs and PMU Support Consultants. The LARU will keep the APs informed about sub-project’s impacts, compensation and assistance proposed and duly approved by the IA and ADB. The APs will participate in all the decisions and implementation of SRP. APs will also be involved in the grievance redress to review and resolve any dispute concerning compensation and other resettlement issues. The whole process shall be monitored and evaluated by a third party throughout the implementations cycle. The activities and time allocation for such activities can be adjusted accordingly. Table 8.2 provides timeframe (Activity Schedule Chart) for implementation of SRP for Main Canal RD 00+500 to 196+000 project reflecting civil works contract award, commencement of civil works and monitoring of SRP implementation process.

94 This project will provide adequate advance notices to the APs and will pay their due resettlement compensation including income restoration/assistance prior to the start of civil works. All activities related to resettlement will be completed in accordance with the resettlement tasks process.

8.2. Disclosure of SRP and Community Participation 95 This SRP in Urdu will be disclosed to the APs at relevant PIU and Union offices

immediately after the ADB approval. The SRP in English will be posted on the ADB website after the EA endorsement. Finally, a primer in both English and Urdu summarizing compensation provisions will be sent to all APs. Besides, a formal mode of communication as transpired above informal modes like oral communication and simple notes as well as display charts bearing important information about affected assets valuation, compensation rates, complaint procedure, payment and civil work schedule etc will be used for the disclosure of the SRP.

96 Moreover, this SRP will be made available to the Local / District Government of Kasur and Okara as well as PIPD field office at Kasur and Okara as an official public document. During this project implementation, LARU with the help of PMU support consultants will undertake public disclosure of this SRP all along this sub-project corridor of impact considering the following main objectives:

• Inform and explain the entitlement policy and various options to the (APs) prior to payment, compensation and other financial assistance;

• Socially prepare the affected persons, particularly house-owners and small business owners / operators for removal / relocation;

• Help counter rumors and prevent un-necessary distress;

• Bring clarity on issues that might be raised by the affected persons, including the affected households and small business owners about their entitlements and benefits;

• Solicit and help the APs and encourage their participation in SRP implementation;

• Attempt to ensure that vulnerable groups understand the process and their needs are specifically taken into consideration.

• Finally, the participation of APs is also ensured in this SRP implementation through their involvement in various local committees such as LAR Advisory Committee and Grievances Redress Committee (GRC). The PIPD field office and


41

RU will establish and continuously maintain interaction with the APs and community to identify problems to undertake remedial / corrective actions.

monitoring. Internal monitoring will be conducted by the internal monitoring cell comprising of staff from LARU and resettlement experts from PMU Support Consultants. The internal monitoring cell has already been notified. The external monitoring and evaluation will be assigned to an Independent Monitoring Agency (IMA) which shall be responsible for EME of this SRP.

9.1. Internal Monitoring and Evaluation 98 Internal monitoring will be carried out routinely by the PMU-LBDCIP. For this

purpose, the Internal Monitoring Cell (IMC) has already been notified. Indicators set for the internal monitoring will be those relating to process and immediate outputs and results. This information will be collected directly from the field and reported monthly to the PMU to assess the progress and results of this SRP implementation, and to adjust the work program, if necessary. The monthly internal monitoring reports will be prepared and sent to ADB on regular basis. Specific monitoring benchmarks will be:

• SRP disclosure and consultation with APs;

• Payment / Compensation for affected structures and other assets;

• Payment against loss of income; and

• Income restoration activities.

99 The above information will be collected by the Resettlement Unit of PMU, which is responsible for the internal monitoring of day-to-day resettlement activities of this sub-project.

9.2. External Monitoring & Evaluation 100 The project includes a provision for external monitoring and evaluation o f the

implementation of the subproject resettlement plans by an Independent Monitoring Agency (IMA). Therefore, the Irrigation and Power Department, which is the Executing Agency (EA) for this project, requires services of a reputed firm for external monitoring and evaluation of RP implementation as outlined in RF. ADB approved Terms of Reference (ToR) would be followed for the procurement of IMA (Copy Annexed as Appendix IV).

101 The Independent Monitoring Agency will review implementation o f RP biannually and evaluate whether the basic objective of the RPs as well as agreed Resettlement Frame work and ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy are being fulfilled and safeguard compliance requirements are met with. Apart from preparing reports on the progress of RP implementation Independentl Monitor will also evaluate process of relocation and rehabilitation o f the project displaced persons, if any, and mechanism for payment of compensations and rehabilitation assistances and adequacy and effectiveness of institutional arrangements for RP implementation and grievance redress mechanisms etc. 9.2.3 Reporting requirement

102 The Independent Monitoring Agency will submit reports biannually in ten (10) copies to PMU for its record and onward submission to ADB through the Executing Authority, PMU LBDCIP.

Annex -13 Negotiation Process for Temporary Occupation of Land The negotiation process for temporary procurement of occupation started with the census survey. The farmers were informed about the policy for temporary occupation of land for rehabilitation works under LBDCIP. The farmers showed their willingness to lease their land to the Irrigation and Power Department in consideration of reasonable compensation as land lease rates.

The process of negotiation continued and all the stakeholders (farmers/landowners) were present during consultative workshop dated 20-01-2010, wherein they were informed about the design of diversions, civil works activities and plan for restoration of their land to their original condition and use. Their concerns were recorded and incorporated in the RP as Annex 8 & 9.The farmers concerns about rehabilitation and restoration of land to its original condition and uses were addressed. It was agreed that the department will be bound to restore land to its original condition prior to handing over occupation to the farmers.

The final meeting for finalization of lease rates was convened on April, 5, 2010 at the dera of Mr. Muhammad Hussain (Also an AP) at RD 62+000. The landowners from all three diversion sites were also invited in the meeting and all participated. The lease rates and mechanism of payment of lease was discussed in detail. The farmers were informed that the temporary occupation of land shall be taken as per provisions of Land Acquisition Act, 1894 through the Revenue Department. However they were informed that the lease rates shall be mutually agreed between the land owners and the Irrigation Department. The farmers informed that the current leasing rates in the area are ranging between Rs. 20,000 to 25,000 per acre and showed their concerns regarding anticipated escalations in subsequent years. They pointed that, as it is a tenure lease for a period of three years and the prevailing rates may jump up in subsequent years due to increase in crop prices. They suggested that the escalation should be incorporated in the lease rates. After deliberations they agreed on Rs. 35,000/ per acre as lease rates for their affected lands. They demanded that the total lease money for three years should be paid at the time of occupation of land by the Irrigation and Power Department. Upon agreement of lease rates, the terms and conditions of the agreement deed were shared with the farmers and finalized accordingly.

Now in the light of ADB’s concerns the APs were approached to sign individual agreements for leasing out their respective land. The APs showed their concerns on the rates which were mutually agreed in April 2010 and demanded increase in the lease rate on the basis of increase in average lease rate in the area. They informed that the land is being leased out @ of Rs 30,000/- to 40,000/- for next cropping season in the area. Hence, another session of negotiations was convened near Diversion Site (RD 27+000) Jaja Kalan at the Dera of Mr. Mushtaq Ahmed on 02nd December. APs representatives of all three diversion sites, PMU safeguards staff, Revenue staff from Irrigation and Power Department and staff from local Revenue Department Officet was present in negotiations. The APs representatives briefed the participants about the prevailing lease rates for the next cropping season and demanded for rationalization of the lease rates including escalation for a period of three years. They reiterated that their demand is genuine as per prevailing land lease rates in the area.

The PMU representatives requested the revenue staff from Irrigation and Power department and Revenue Department to give true picture regarding the prevailing lease rates in the area. Local Revenue staff from irrigation department confirmed the statements of the farmers and informed that the abrupt increase in lease rate may be due to unprecedented increase in market rates of major cash crops. It was also highlighted that the difference in lease rates is mainly dependent on the soil fertility and water availability.


63

The local revenue persons confirmed the fact and informed that leasing of land is mutually agreed by the farmers and it varies from farm to farm depending upon the fertility of soil and sufficiency of irrigation water. Hence, during assessment of lease rates they mainly rely on the prevailing market rates based on field reports. They apprised that they will have no objection to the mutually agreed rate between the irrigation and power department and the farmers.

After deliberations it was decided that the lease rate for the first year will be Rs. 45,000/ and 10 % escalation will be included in the lease rates for subsequent years. The average lease rate was calculated accordingly which amounted to Rs. 49,650/-. The APs members emphasized that the total amount for agreed lease period should be paid in advance and average lease rate (Rs. 49650/-) may be rounded as Rs. 50,000/-. After discussion it was mutually agreed that the lease rate shall be Rs. 50,000/- per acre per year and total amount of lease for agreed period of three years shall be made in advance before occupation of land. Upon agreement of lease rates, the farmers/APs signed their agreement for leasing out their duly assessed lands for construction of diversion channel. List of participants of the meeting is attached.

Appendix-IV: Terms of Reference for External Monitoring and Evaluation of RP Implementation

1 Background: Realizing the need for a holistic water resources management strategy that encompasses rehabilitation and up gradation of irrigation infrastructure as well as policy and institutional improvements, Government of Punjab through Irrigation and Power Department with the Financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has launched Punjab Irrigated Agriculture Investment Program. Under the said program the Lower Bari Doab canal Improvement Project is undertaken as Model project to be followed by other projects of same nature and capacity.

The Irrigation and Power Department, Government of Punjab, has received a loan, to implement Lower Bari Doab Canal Improvement Project (LBDCIP), from the Asian Development Bank under Punjab Irrigated Agriculture Sector Investment Program. The IP&D envisages achieving sustainable development through rehabilitation and up-gradation of irrigation infrastructure including (i) Baloki Headwork/Barrage, (ii) Head Regulators off the Balloki Sulmanki Link & Lower Bari Doab Canals, (iii) Lower Bari Doab Canal and its Distribution system. The expected outcome of the project is improved irrigation facility; increased crop per drop; improved economic growth and reduced poverty in the project area. However, it is apprehended that execution of civil works of the project may have adverse impacts on the population adjoining or occupying the existing Right of Way for its beneficial uses and warrants due diligence during implementation of the project.

A Resettlement Framework has been prepared by the Irrigation and Power Department and approved by Asian Development Bank to be used for the project to comply the ADB’s Safeguard Policies. The framework outlines the objectives, policy principles and procedures for land acquisition, compensation and other assistance measures for Affected Persons (APs), if any. This framework reflects the borrowers land acquisition laws/ regulations, state policies on resettlement and ADB’s policy on involuntary resettlement and other social safeguard guidelines. A detailed description of each compensation measure and assistance is provided in the entitlement matrix. A brief TOR for External Monitoring Agency (EMA) is also a part of this RF.

A Project Management Unit (PMU) has been established at Lahore within the Irrigation and Power Department to oversee implementation of Lower Bari Doab Canal Improvement Project (LBDCIP). A Safeguards unit (Land Acquisition and Resettlement Unit LARU) has been notified within PMU charged with preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of resettlement activities for all subprojects under LBDCIP.

The Project is further divided into subprojects based on the civil works contract packaging. There may be 9 resettlement plans for LBDCIP, prepared, implemented and internally monitored in a span of 40 months. The project includes a provision for monitoring and evaluation o f the implementation of the subproject resettlement plans by an external monitor. Therefore, the Irrigation and Power Department, which is the Executing Agency (EA) for this project, requires services of a reputed Individual/consultancy firm for monitoring and evaluation of RP implementation as outlined in RF.
