I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A. Introduction

1. Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) with a sector project loan funding from Asian Development Bank (ADB) has proposed to implement Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Project (MPUSIP), herein after referred as ‘the Project’. Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC) shall be the Implementing Agency (IA) and the State Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) shall be the Executing Agency for the Project. A project management unit (PMU) created under MPUDC is implementing MPUSIP. 2. MPUSIP’s physical components include (a) improvements to water in 62 project towns, and (b) sewage and storm water collection and treatment services proposed in seven (7) identified towns namely Sanchi, Maihar, Saikheda, Sanawad, Anjad, Badwah and Dhamnod. The Project also includes an institutional strengthening component and a project management and administrative support component. 3. The objective of present study is to develop a service improvement plan for improving sewage services to the residents in town Saikheda Nagar Parishad (NP) conforming to National Service Level Benchmarks in sewerage services. MPUSIP, as IA has taken up the responsibility for implementing the project works but ultimately local communities and urban local body (ULB) is sole accountable for administration, operation & maintenance (O&M) and continuity of the sub-project. 4. The Resettlement Framework (RF) for MPUSIP has already been prepared which outlines the objectives, policy principles and procedures for land acquisition, if any, compensation and other assistance measures for Affected Persons1 (APs), if any. The framework reflects the borrower’s law on the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013, state government policies, ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 and other social safeguard guidelines. A detailed description of compensation measures and assistance is provided in the entitlement matrix, please refer to MPUSIP website: http://www.mpudc.co.in/adb-funded-mpusip.html. 5. This involuntary resettlement (IR) due diligence report (DDR) is prepared in accordance with the agreed RF of Project in compliance with the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009, for the proposed subproject sewerage of town namely Saikheda under district Narsinghpur of state Madhya Pradesh, to examine the land acquisition and involuntary resettlement issues in detail. The key objective of the proposed subproject is to achieve sustainable wastewater management in the town and where the sewage generated is collected at the household level, transported, treated and safely disposed of. The subproject is expected to cover a population of 11327 (Census of India-2011) which covers all the municipal wards of the subproject town. This population will thus be covered 19225 for the design year 2048 under the proposed subproject. This IR DDR is prepared based on the technical details made available in the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the subproject sewerage of town Saikheda. 6. This IR DDR will further be updated and reconfirmed for final IR impacts after completion of detailed measurement surveys (DMS) which will be conducted by DBO Contractor before

1 In the context of involuntary resettlement, displaced persons are those who are physically displaced (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. It covers them whether such losses and involuntary restrictions are full or partial, permanent or temporary

1 initiation of civil works during implementation2. The final IR report will be reviewed and disclosed on ULB, IA and ADB website. No civil works contracts package will be awarded and started before the completion of final RP implementation for the said project. The IA is responsible to hand over the project land/site to the contractor which should be free of encumbrance.

B. Background of Subproject Town

7. This subproject is proposed for town Saikhera consists population of two habitation namely Saikheda (9602) and Bamhori Khurd (1,184) only. Remaining two habitations namely Barhata and Rehli are not covered in this project. 8. Brief History of the Subproject Town: Saikheda under district Narsinghpur is situated in the central part of Madhya Pradesh & Madhya Pradesh itself is located in the central part of India. Saikheda hold a special importance, as in the ancient period this area was ruled by many Rajvansh including great historical worrier Rani Durgawati which was referred by various names in that period. 9. Geographical Location and Population Data: Saikheda was designated as rural area until 2009. In 2010, three villages namely Bamhori Khurd, Barhata and Rehli were merged with Saikheda to form Nagar Parishad (NP), Saikheda. SH 44 is an important transport link for the town. River Dudhi, which merges with River Narmada forms the western boundary of the town. The town has developed around a central pond, named Narhariyanand Pond. According to Census 2011 figures, the population of the four (4) villages constituting Saikheda Nagar Parishad are- Saikheda (9,602), Bamhori Khurd (1,184), Barhata (472) and Rehli (69), thus the total population of the Nagar Parishad is 11,327. The municipal area of the town is approximately 23.64 Sq. Km. As the Nagar Parishad is newly formed (in November 2011), an elected body was formally formulated only in 2015. The town still displays rural character as only 10% of the land is used as Abadi (Inhabited) area and 85% of the town area is utilized for agriculture. The number of households in the town is 2,495 and the average household size is 4.5. Males constitute 52.1% while females constitute 47.9% of the total population. The literacy rate for the town is 64.7% in which male literacy rate is 70.4% while female literacy rate is 58.5%. Other demographic details are given below in the Table 1.

2 Detailed measurement survey will be jointly conducted by safeguards personnel of project implementation unit, consultants and contractors prior to implementation at each site/stretch of alignment. RP for different sites/stretches will be prepared and submitted to ADB for approval; prior payment of compensation to permanent and/or temporarily impacted persons is mandatory before start of civil work at each site/alignment stretch. PIU, PMC Resettlement Specialist and contractor will be responsible for conduct of DMS and PMC RS will update RPs prior to implementation.

Climate - Saikheda experiences a pleasant climate except during summer. Average temperature of the district ranges from a minimum of 25-26 degree Celsius to a maximum of 45- 46 degree Celsius. The district receives 90% of the annual precipitation between June to September. The average duration of rainfall is of 60 days, measuring approximately 40 inches. 11. Topography - Saikheda is situated in the western part of Narsinghpur district and is abutting River Dudhi. River Dudhi meets River Narmada downstream of the town near its north- western boundary. As a result, it is located in the catchment area of River Narmada. 12. Administrative Division - For the ease of administration, the whole district has been divided into 3 sub-divisions, each sub-division consisting of 1 or 2 tehsils. 5 Tehsils are formed in Narsinghpur district considering the area covered under these tehsils. As usual Tehsils are further divided into 6 blocks. District Collector being the top level of this hierarchy, sub-divisional magistrates (SDM), Tehsildars becomes the head of the sub-division and tehsil respectively. For block level administration, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) acts as the coordinator of the functions of the respective block. To implement this administrative setup Police department, assist the local administration through various police stations spread all over the district. Subproject town Saikhera is CD block under Tehsil in Narsinghpur District 13. Industrial activities - Saikheda is part of the Sugar Manufacturing region comprising of Gadarwara, Silwani, Udaipura and surrounding areas. There are two (2) sugar mills within the town, located diagonally across the expanse of the town along SH-44. These sugar mills produce sugar with very little machinery and thus the amount of pollution produced, either in terms of noxious gases or as effluents, is minimal. The by-product of the manufacturing process, which is left over sugar cane extract, is mixed with the cattle feed and given to cattle.

C. Existing Infrastructure of Wastewater and Need of the Subproject

14. There is no conventional sewerage system in the town. Saikheda does not have an underground sewerage pipe line system. The grey water drains directly into road side open drains. During the monsoon season, the open drains carrying excreta overflow and pollute the area around. The waste water running through road side drains/ nallahs flows down to the existing pond and to river. This makes the water on the downstream of the river and land around the course of the River and nallah within the town highly contaminated. A large quantum of organic load flows every day in the water course due to non-existence of sewerage system. It also causes nuisance and health hazards. It contaminates surface and ground water and poses foul conditions in town. Around 6% of residents use septic tanks or soak pit for sewage disposal in the town. Rest of the houses dispose the waste water directly to the open drains and most of

3

the houses do not have in-built toilets and this result in contamination of drains and nallahs leading to contamination of the pond and river. The town has nine (9) kms of pucca drains. In areas having drains, they carry waste water from houses and often garbage is thrown in them. Choking of drains lead to water logging and flooding during rainy season. 15. There is need of the subproject to improve service levels in sewerage system in subproject town to National Service Level Benchmarks. It will stop mixing of sewerage and storm water as the issue of poor sewage flow is a major concern due to its adverse impacts on public health and resources. Furthermore, the water supply improvement subproject is under implementation in Saikheda town and water supply rate per capita will be 135 lpcd, so therefore, there is immediate need for sewerage system for collection, conveyance and treatment of sewerage.

D. Objectives of the Subproject

16. The primary objectives of the proposed subproject of sewerage of town Saikheda is listed below. • To reduce the pollution discharged into water bodies by treating the sewage generated in the town, • Prevention of ground water and soil pollution due to infiltration of untreated liquid waste, • Improvement in water quality of existing water bodies, • Improvement in environmental sanitation health and reduction in associated health hazards to the inhabitants of the subproject towns, • Improvement in quality of life, human dignity and increased productivity, • Value addition to the socio-economic condition, and Substantial reduction of water logging and flooding in sub-project area

18. In this subproject, land acquisition is required for two components only: i) Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) and (ii) Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) while (iii) pumping/gravity main and lateral network etc. are proposed within the right of way (RoW) of existing roads. Land proposed for ISPS is vacant land near the Nakta Nalah while land proposed for STP is located in the southern side of outskirt of the town, near river Dudhi (refer to Appendix 7A & 7B). Detail about land required its khasra number and their location is given below in the table: Table 3: Proposed Components under subproject Sewerage Sl.

19. The scope of land acquisition and resettlement is identified based on field visits to all the proposed subproject sites, transect walk along the stretch of pumping mains and distribution network and stakeholder consultations conducted, in line with ADB’s requirements pertaining to environment and social safeguard considerations. Field visits and consultations reveal that proposed land for subproject components are vacant and free from encroachment. And all civil works under the subproject are proposed within the boundaries of government land/sites/alignments or RoW of the existing road. Construction of SPS (2 in no.) and STP will be undertaken on land belonging to the revenue department, Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP). The site for the proposed STP is adjacent to Dudhi river under Gram and Halka Saikheda. To ensure gravity flow, construction of intermediate pumping station (IPS) is proposed at one location only while main pumping station is being proposed at STP site. Details about site/land identified for each proposed subproject component and their revenue record is depicted in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 respectively. In this regard, a certificate has also been issued by office of the chief Municipal Officer (CMO), Saikheda (refer to Appendix 3) 20. All sewerage networks which includes pumping/gravity main and sewerage lateral network etc. will be laid along with existing roads with in RoW which belonging to Nagar Parishad-Saikheda and Public Works Department (PWD) only. The proposed rising main (750 in length) will carry sewage from IPS through pumping while remaining section up to STP will be based on gravity flow (720m in length). Total length of sewerage network will be in 28.25 kms. Proposed pipe diameters to be laid range between 150 mm and 350 mm depending on the road widths, that vary between 3 to 15 m. The size of land required for the proposed SPS (2 in no.)

6 and STP is minimum 12 x 15 sq.m each and 1.5 acre respectively. The Nagar Parishad- Saikheda will apply for the transfer of proposed land from revenue department, GoMP for construction of the subproject components. However, no objection certificate (NoC) will also be required from PWD to lay the line underground. These documents will be attached to the updated IR DDR. 21. Among linear components, laying of sewerage pumping main and lateral lines for the subproject is proposed within right of way (RoW), which is existing government roads. The proposed rising main (750 in length) will carry sewage from IPS through pumping while remaining section up to STP will be based on gravity flow (720m in length). Total length which included gravity main and lateral line will in 28.25 kms. leading to Saikheda, will be laid underground within the RoW of road. Proposed sewerage network and rising main is depicted in Appendix 7A & 7B.

III. LAND AVAILABILITY AND INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT (IR) IMPACT

A. Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement (IR) Impact

22. In line with ADB’s requirements pertaining to environment and social safeguard considerations, scope of land availability has been worked out by Safeguard Expert- Resettlement of PMC in October 2017 for subproject components with the help of Office of the CMO, Nagar Parishad Saikheda and local revenue officials. The proposed public land at Saikheda is found appropriate both by technically and socially and under possession of government & free of all encumbrances. Although all identified sites are government lands, but this subproject is likely to have temporary economic impacts during pipelaying and manhole construction in a particular section 23. No private land acquisition or involuntary resettlement impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed subproject components. The proposed network of pumping/gravity main & lateral lines within Saikheda town is not anticipated to impact any road side permanent shops in the market area but during transect walks along with alignment of rising main (pumping and gravity both), it is come under notice that proposed alignment will pass through residential area and small section of market area (refer to photo) which is about 100 – 150M in length. Permanent structure of commercial activities along the both sides of the road/section is reported but without any vendor/hawker (squatter). In this section, pumping main of 250 m dia is being proposed with a total length of 750 m from IPS (Nakta Nallah) to special manhole. On the location of special manhole, which will be built for the interconnection of pumping main and gravity main, one affected person (AP) is reported, a cobbler who doesn’t have any temporary structure (refer to Appendix 5). But period of impact is likely to be quite high at this location (refer to photo). In the same section of market area, another alignment of sewerage lines moves towards IPS is also proposed. Section-wise detail is as follows while glimpses of the

subproject town is depicted in Appendix 9:

3 300-350 100-200 2.9 to 3.5 720 m Gravity main: from special manhole to SPS at STP Source: DPR 24. Although, efforts have been made by the engineering/design team to minimize the resettlement impact by careful design as all the activities under the subproject will be confined within the vacant municipal or government land and subproject doesn’t require any private land acquisition. As per design it will not result in physical displacement (such as residential and commercial) and common properties too. Keeping this in view all the proposed work will be accommodated within the available vacant government land. Disturbance may occur during the laying of sewer pipeline and the subproject is likely to have temporary economic impact/ temporary loss of livelihood of one AP at particular location (as mentioned earlier). This AP is reported as squatter and considered as non-titleholder who is doing his economic activity within the RoW of road. Therefore, to avoid his temporary economic impact, an adequate notice will be given prior to start of the civil works so that the respective AP can identify the space to carry out his economic activity, as sufficient/enough space is available opposite side of the road near office of the CMO, Nagar Parishad Saikheda. Furthermore, to avoid the impact in the market area, both the alignment rising main and sewerage network will be buried underground with a maximum width of 1.5 m of common excavated trench. Remaining one meter or more of either side can be used to access the shop. 25. Mitigation Measures: MPUSIP understands that subproject components are always associated with some resettlement impacts, which may be temporary or permanent in nature. Therefore, required assessments have been undertaken for early identification of these impacts to help identify solutions for mitigating these impacts to a maximum extent. Redesigning, change in site locations/alignments, and technology which helps minimize impact levels are some of the adaptations to ensure minimal resettlement impacts. However, potential short-term temporary impacts may be anticipated during construction. The contract will have specific provisions related to impact avoidance. The contractor will be required to maintain access to shops and residences, and safety through hard barricading of excavated alignments along narrow roads. Care will be taken to avoid/minimize/mitigate temporary economic impacts through the following measures: (a) announcement of proposed civil works in advance (to enable shop owners to stock up and remain unaffected if goods vehicles are unable to reach them during construction, (b) provision of planks to ensure pedestrian access; (c) proper barricade in the excavated areas, (d) careful timing of implementation to avoid peak sale

8

hours/days; (e) night work in commercial areas, where possible; (f) minimizing construction period to the extent possible; (g) assistance to mobile vendors to shift nearby to ensure there is no income loss and they are able to continue plying their trade; (h) signboards with project details and contact details for grievance redress; (i) careful selection of the location of the manholes and (j) proper traffic management planning. Construction work / pipelaying activity on the weekly haat / market day will be strictly avoided and the contractor will be required to undertake work in this stretch of road during the weekly holiday or during such hours when the shops are closed. Laying of sewage mains and lateral network pipelines in the subproject area has been carefully planned to minimize disturbance to pedestrians and traffic and avoid income loss to businesses. These potential temporary impacts will be minimized or mitigated by adapting micro-tunneling for laying of pipes, situating alignments on public RoWs, and scheduling open-cut works in a phased manner. These measures will be part of the contract and enforced through the contract, with careful monitoring by the social safeguard personnel of PMU and PIU. 26. The detailed measurement survey (DMS) Survey of each section ready for implementation will help to arrive at a final assessment of temporary impacts, and the RP will be updated accordingly prior to implementation. Rigor in data collection and meaningful consultations with stakeholders will be required to ensure that AP eligible for compensation must be identified. The Contract will have specific provisions related to impact avoidance. B. Impact on Vulnerable Groups3

27. While this subproject is not a targeted poverty intervention program, it will have poverty reduction impacts and benefits through increased service levels of basic amenities. It is expected that an improved sewage system will help to improve the overall hygiene, resulting in improved health and reducing time and expenses spent on maintaining hygienic conditions. This will further help reduce the burden of expenditure on health and time spent on caregiving, as well as allowing more time to pursue economic activities. This subproject will especially be of benefit to women, who spend considerable time on their household chores and looking after children and family, as well as pursuing some economic activity to contribute to the household’s finances. Educational standards will also get a boost, with children leading healthier lives and being able to attend school regularly.

C. Indigenous Peoples (IPs)

28. No adverse impacts to indigenous peoples are anticipated or identified. The affected persons identified is not IP. Assessment of IR / IP impacts is presented in Appendix 4. 29. The subproject area of town Saikheda is a mixed with rural and urbanized area, and census data reveal that only 3.17% people belonging to scheduled tribes (STs) are found within Nagar Parishad (NP) limit. None of the proposed subproject facilities are located on land belonging to scheduled tribes or indigenous people (IP). Also, scheduled tribes in these towns speak the same language as the majority of the population, do not have any traditional rights and/or access to land resources, and do not follow any distinct cultural practices. One can safely conclude that the ST/IP population in the subproject area has been assimilated in mainstream society. Rapid assessments through community consultations, transect walks and

3Vulnerable households / families as per RF: woman-headed households, disabled-headed household, scheduled caste/scheduled tribe households, elderly-headed households and Below Poverty Line households vulnerable groups as per SPS-2009: especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and those without legal title to land

9 other secondary data did not indicate the presence of indigenous people (IP); therefore, no impacts are envisaged. 30. It is significant to mention here that this subproject area does not come under the schedule area where provisions of Fifth Schedule are applicable as per Constitution of India, which deals with administration and control of scheduled areas and scheduled tribes (refer to Appendix 11A & 11B). So Indigenous People Plan (IPP) is not required for this subproject. 31. This Sub-Project does not have any IR or IP impact. There will be no permanent physical or economic displacement. The subproject will have no adverse land acquisition impacts as the subproject components are proposed at public land and effluent pipelaying and manhole construction within RoW of the government road. The discharge of the treated wastewater would furthermore have the beneficial impact of providing water for irrigation to the farmers. In this regard, involuntary resettlement screening checklist has been prepared (refer to Appendix 8). Accordingly, the subproject would remain under Category B for involuntary resettlement under ADB’s SPS-2009.

IV. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION, AND PARTICIPATION

A. Consultation

32. The success of the Project is heavily dependent on the participation of the people, in the implementation process. To enable people to participate in the development process, it is necessary that people have adequate knowledge about the nature and content of the subproject. Information, Education and Communication, therefore, assumes added significance in the context of the Project. 33. This IR DDR is prepared in consultation with key stakeholders mainly office of the Nagar Parishad, Saikheda, elected representative locally called ward parshad, local business community, local residents etc. Formal and informal consultations were conducted to seek feedback from local community and other key stakeholders of Saikheda Nagar Parishad on the proposed development interventions, perceived impacts and mitigation measures, need for continuous participation for monitoring to avoid any temporary income loss or IR impacts. These were supplemented by a series of informal discussions by the PMU/PMC Safeguard team with chief municipal officer (CMO) and revenue officials of Nagar Parishad to make understanding the current situation and optimum design to be adopted in order to attain the objectives of the subproject. Consultations revealed that inhabitants are aware of the suffering of the existing sewerage system in the town and willing to cooperate with the proposed subproject and summarized in the table (refer to Appendix 6A, 6B and 6C). 34. Transect walks and consultation with affected person (AP) facing temporary income loss helped to understand his perspective. The AP main concern was prior information is required before initiation of civil works.

B. Information Disclosure

35. Information dissemination and disclosure has been a continuous process since the initiation of the Project. The approved IR DDR will be disclosed on the websites of ULB, PMU and ADB. Project information will be continually disseminated through disclosure, as and when updated. All basic information such as sub-project location, type of social and environment impact and its estimates, entitlements, and implementation schedule etc. will be

10

disseminated in the local language on the display board of office of Nagar Parishad- Saikheda, PIU and other important places etc.

C. Continued Consultation and Participation

36. The project management unit (PMU) will extend and expand the consultation and disclosure process during the construction period. The project management consultant (PMC) will conduct training of contractors (engineers as well as safeguards personnel). The PMU, project implementation unit (PIU) with the support of PMC, will design and conduct a public awareness campaign during project implementation. A consultation and participation plan (CAPP) will be prepared for the subproject; PMU and PIU both will be assisted by PMC to ensure that the communities in the subproject areas are fully aware of subproject activities at all stages of construction. Community groups will be consulted and made aware of the civil works and project activities, anticipated impacts and mitigation measures, grievance redress process and contact details of PMU personnel prior to construction.

V. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM (GRM)

37. During implementation, a subproject-specific town level grievance redress committee (GRC) will be established to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of affected person (AP) concerns and local inhabitants’ grievances due to proposed subproject. In this regard, ULB-wise public awareness campaigns will be ensured to aware about the grievance redress procedures. Sincere efforts will be made by the PIU/Contractor with the support of safeguard team to resolve problems amicably, conflicts through participatory process with the community and the Nagar Parishad-Saikheda. The PMU and PIUs supported by the PMC specialists will periodically review the functioning of the GRC and record information on the effectiveness of the mechanism, especially on the PIU’s ability to prevent and address grievances (refer to Appendix 10).

VI. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

38. The policy framework and entitlements for the subproject are based on applicable laws and regulations of the national and state government, ADB’s Safeguards Policy Statement 2009; and the agreed Resettlement Framework (RF). For more details, please refer to MPUSIP website: http://www.mpudc.co.in/adb-funded-mpusip.html.

VII. CONCLUSION AND BUDGET

39. This subproject does not have any significant IR impact. There is no permanent physical or economic displacement. To avoid any temporarily IR impacts, mitigation measure will be procured. Although, all the components of the subproject are proposed on vacant public land and pipelaying network will traverse through RoW of road. A provisional budget for
