CHAPTER 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Project and public purpose

Kochi is the most densely populated city in the state as part of an extended metropolitan region, which is the largest urban agglomeration in Kerala. Rapid urbanization and intense commercial developments in the recent past have resulted in steep rise in travel demand putting Kochi’s transport infrastructure to stress. The increase in capacity of the transport system has not been compatible with transport demand. With ever increasing demand for road space-both for vehicular movement and parking, it is difficult to depend only on road based transport solutions. Kochi Metro phase I estimated cost of Rs. 5146 crore.

The overall length of Kochi Metro phase I is 25.16 Km from Aluva to Petta. In continuation to phase I Government approval has been received for 2km stretch from Petta -SN junction.

The registered vehicles in Ernakulam have increased significantly over the years. The number has climbed from 8.9 to 17.6 Lakh in six years (2009-10 to 2016-17). The share of two wheelers is highest (about 62%). The sharp increase of two-wheelers and cars could be attributed to the improved economic status of people and deficient public transport supply.

RITES have already carried out a detailed study on different options available for extending Metro to Tripunithura and found that the most viable option is to connect the Metro alignment to Tripunithura Railway Station which is about 1.2 Kms from S.N Junction Metro Station. The location has its own inherent advantage, as it cater for the traffic from both Eastern & Southern sides of

LAND ACQUISITION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF VIADUCT AND METRO STATION OF THE KOCHI METRO RAIL PROJECT IN KANAYANNOOR TALUK, ERNAKULAM DISTRICT 8

Ernakulam. It is also pertinent to mention here that, Tripunithura Municipality is planning to build a Bus Depot near to the Railway Station which will act as a catalyst to develop the area as a multimodal transport hub of Railway, Metro & Bus Transport, eventually will become the entry point to the city there by increasing the Peak Hour peak Direction Trips (PHPDT) of the entire Metro Corridor. The project would fit in the rationale for public purpose as it likely to reduce travelling time, traffic, pollution and energy consumption and ensures a safer transportation through the region. Further, as per Section 2 (1) b (i) of The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013 (RFCTLAR&R Act), the project fits in for public purpose.

1.2 Location It is proposed to acquire approximately 2.64 hectares of land in Nadama village, Kanayannor taluk, in Ernakulam district for the construction of viaduct and Metro Station of the Metro rail project. “S.N Junction metro station” in the Phase IA alignment is located on the Kochi- Dhanushkodi National Highway 85 which is about a Km away from the heart of Tripunithura Town.

1.3 Size and attributes of land acquisition

The project is mapped to acquire 2.64 hectares of land in Nadama village, Kanayannor taluk, in Ernakulam district and most plots are being used as residential land. And also some shops are located in the area. The identified land comprises of both private as well as public land and includes Dry land, Field, Well, PWD Road and other open land owned by government. As per the Revenue records the said land belongs to both Dry land and wet land category. The table 1.3.1. Explains the land details which was notified by Revenue (B)

1.4 Alternatives considered Due to progressive increase in vehicles and vehicular movement, the roads of Kochi city are not able to bear the load of traffic smoothly especially in main roads. It leads to many adverse impacts in different parameters in terms of time, maintenance of road, pollution etc. The DPR is approved by the Government of Kerala after elaborate and extensive feasibility study. The examination of the alternative route is redundant at this stage. 1.5 Social impacts As per the present alignment for the acquisition of land for the construction of viaduct and metro station in SN junction to Trippunithura the properties of 46 will be affected. During the SIA study the study team could understand that the project cause displacement of families, loss of land, adverse effect on the structures, loss of livelihood etc. 22 houses in the project area will be affected due to the project. The shops existed in the project area also included in the

LAND ACQUISITION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF VIADUCT AND METRO STATION OF THE KOCHI METRO RAIL PROJECT IN KANAYANNOOR TALUK, ERNAKULAM DISTRICT 10 acquisition. Hence it is understood that the livelihood of the shop owners and the employees working in that shops will also be adversely affected due to the project Table 1.5.1 explains about the social impacts of the project in general.

Table 1.5.1 Social Impacts of the Project in General

Sl.No. Impacts Description 1 Loss of land Land owned by 46 owners 2 Displacement of Families 22 families

3 Impact on basic facilities Well(21) Bore well (1) 4 Loss of Livelihood Owners and staff of 3 fully affected shops 5 Loss of structures Compound Wall (15), Electric post (11), Shed (1) Toilet (2) 6 Loss of trees Approximately 641 trees

Besides the above said impacts of land acquisition, the dust pollution, the possibility of obstructing the access to the nearby houses/shops and the hindering of the mobility of the people and vehicles during construction period also should be considered for mitigation. A few of the affected parties said that the alignment will destruct their house and an alteration is needed in the alignment because there is vacant land and unauthorized land of railway is there. So in order to destruct their house the vacant land can be used for the construction and thereby reduce their loss of house.

Despite the negative impacts mentioned above, the proposed project is expected to be beneficial for the people in the region as it ensures safer and faster transportation and better access with other regions in the district.

1.6 Mitigation measures The following measures shall be taken to mitigate the impacts like loss of land, loss of residence, loss of attached properties and loss of livelihood which may be occurred due to the land acquisition from Nadama village in Kanayannoor Taluk in Ernakulam district for the construction of viaduct and Metro station from SN junction to Tripunithura Railway station.

 Compensation shall be provided to the affected families as per the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013 and Kerala Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Rules 2015.

 Resettlement procedures as per the Policies vide G.O.(Ms)No.485/2015/RD dated 23/09/2015 and G.O.(MS)No.448/2017/RD dated 29/12/2017 issued by Revenue(B) Department, Government of Kerala for the rehabilitation and resettlement package for acquisition of land in the state in lieu of RFCTLAR&R Act 2013.

 It is ensure that the pleasant stay of the residence affected families is not more adversely affecting due to the project. So timely rehabilitation measures should be ensured and prior notice to the families allotting a specified time to quit the house is recommended.

CHAPTER 2

DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Background of the Project, including developer’s background and governance/ management structure Kochi City Region covers a planning area comprising of Kochi city, two Municipalities and fourteen Panchayats. The Kochi City Region has a population of 12,55,733 as per Census 2011 figures. With the rapid growth of urban population, there is an ever-increasing demand on the city’s infrastructure to serve the population. The rapid motorization rates have further complicated issues and compete with the public transport systems in the cities, as mode choices for commuting. The trips per household have increased over the years, with increasing per capita incomes and increase in vehicle ownership. Considering the improving socio-economic level in the Indian cities and inadequate mass transport system, personalized motor vehicles have been growing at the rate of 6% to 15% per annum in different cities. In most of the cities, scooters/motor cycles comprise of the more than 60 per cent of the total motor vehicles.

Increase in capacity of the transport system has not been compatible with transport demand. With ever increasing demand for road space – both for vehicular movement and parking, it is difficult to depend only on road based transport solutions. Only public transport systems are more efficient users of space.

Kochi Metro Phase I have been completed at an estimated cost of Rs.5146 Crore. The overall length of Kochi Metro Phase I is 25.16 Km from Aluva to Petta. Kochi Metro Rail Ltd. has already begun the operation of about 18.21 Km from Aluva to Maharajas with 16 stations and balance stretch of 6.95Km with 6 stations is in construction stage. In continuation to Phase I Government approval

LAND ACQUISITION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF VIADUCT AND METRO STATION OF THE KOCHI METRO RAIL PROJECT IN KANAYANNOOR TALUK, ERNAKULAM DISTRICT 14 has been received for 2km stretch from Petta-SN Junction. The proposed “SN Junction to Tripunithura Railway Station” for Phase IB corridor will cater to about 7.6 Lakh and 9.7 Lakh daily passengers in 2021 & 2031 respectively.

M/s RITES have already carried out a detailed study on different options available for extending Metro to Tripunithura and found that the most viable option is to connect the Metro alignment to Tripunithura Railway Station which is about 1.2 Kms from S.N Junction Metro Station. The location has its own inherent advantage, as it cater for the traffic from both Eastern & Southern sides of Ernakulam. It is also pertinent to mention here that, Tripunithura Municipality is planning to build a Bus Depot near to the Railway Station which will act as a catalyst to develop the area as a multimodal transport hub of Railway, Metro & Bus Transport, eventually will become the entry point to the city there by increasing the PHPDT of the entire Metro Corridor.

2.2 Rationale of the project including how the project fits the public purpose criteria listed in the Act Due to progressive increase in vehicles and vehicular movement, the roads of Kochi city are not able to bear the load of traffic smoothly especially in main roads. These led to many adverse impacts in different parameters in terms of time, maintenance of road, pollution etc. KMRL said that the benefits of extending metro to Tripunithura can only be achieved by extending the network up to Tripunithura railway station, which will make it economically viable. This will act as a catalyst to develop the areas as a multimodal transport hub of Railway, Metro & Bus transport, eventually becoming the entry point to the city there by increase the peak hour per traffic of the entire metro corridor.

LAND ACQUISITION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF VIADUCT AND METRO STATION OF THE KOCHI METRO RAIL PROJECT IN KANAYANNOOR TALUK, ERNAKULAM DISTRICT 15

Further, as per Section 2(1) b (i) of The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013 (RFCTLAR&R Act), the project fits in for public purpose.

2.3 Details of project size, location, capacity, outputs, production targets, costs and risks KMRL said that the benefits of extending metro to Tripunithura can only be achieved by extending the network up to Tripunithura railway station, which will make it economically viable. This will act as a catalyst to develop the areas as a multimodal transport hub of Railway, Metro & Bus transport, eventually becoming the entry point to the city there by increase the peak hour per traffic of the entire metro corridor.

As per G.O (Ms) no.27/2019/Trans dated 14-06-2019, with a view to connect to Tripunithura town, which is the southernmost satellite town of Greater Kochi, based on public demand Government accorded administrative sanction for extending the project from S.N junction to Tripunithura Railway station at an estimated cost of Rs.356 crores. A revised sanction for the project cost is 448.33 Cr.

The proposed land comprising of private as well as public land is identified in Tripunithura of Nadama village at Kanayannor Taluk, Ernakulam district. The land details are notified by the Revenue (B) department Govt. of Kerala as per the Notification No. G.O (P) No. 109/2020/RD dated 25/12/2020 which was published in Kerala Gazattee (Extraordinary) No.3103 dated 28/12/2020.

Say

The major risks identified with the project are adverse weather condition, unforeseen shortages of labour or materials, strikes, disputes and damage to person and property due to fire, flood, earth quake, etc.

2.4 Examination of alternatives

Due to progressive increase in vehicles and vehicular movement, the roads of Kochi city are not able to bear the load of traffic smoothly especially in main roads. It leads to many adverse impacts in different parameters in terms of time, maintenance of road, pollution etc. The DPR is approved by the Government of Kerala after elaborate and extensive feasibility study. The examination of the alternative route is redundant at this stage.

2.5 Phases of the project construction

The requiring body has adopted Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). WBS in project management and systems engineering, is a deliverable-oriented breakdown of a project into smaller components. WBS is a hierarchical and

LAND ACQUISITION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF VIADUCT AND METRO STATION OF THE KOCHI METRO RAIL PROJECT IN KANAYANNOOR TALUK, ERNAKULAM DISTRICT 18 incremental decomposition of the project into phases, deliverables and work packages. It shows a subdivision of effort required to achieve an objective; for example a program, project and contract.

The Phase IB of Kochi metro has been proposed to consist of four corridors.

2.6 Core design features & size and type of facilities

Following design parameters (for Standard Gauge, 1435mm) have been adopted while checking the Feasibility of the Metro Corridors.

i. *Minimum distance between Tracks Centre to Centre (C/C) = 4.2m. Extra clearance on curves as required.

ii. Width of viaduct 10.00 m.

iii. Length of platforms = 81 m (for 3 Coach).

iv. Platform width for side platforms= 5.5 m.

v. Minimum Horizontal distance between Centre Line of track to platform for elevated sections 1530mm m to 1535mm

vi. Minimum radius of horizontal curve for elevated sections 200 m (desirable) and 120 m (absolute minimum). Minimum curve length is 25 m

vii. Minimum radius of curve in stations = 1000 m

viii. Gradient at stations to be in level or maximum 1 in 1000. Gradient in mid-section – not steeper than 2% (desirable) and at critical locations maximum 4%.

ix. Points and crossings are 1 in 9 on main lines and 1 in 7 on divergent tracks.

x. Vertical curve radius on main line is 2500m and at other locations is

2.7 Need for ancillary infrastructural facilities

For smooth movement of pedestrians, all the footpaths in influence zone have been considered to be upgraded to desired level of comfort. Influence zone has been assumed as 1Km from the CL of the proposed metro station. Accordingly all the roads including main road where the metro alignment is proposed are assumed to be upgraded by provision of 1.5m wider footpaths on both sides for the roads having 10m-18m ROW and 2m wide footpath on both sides for the main road or the roads having 18m and more ROW for up to 1Km length from CL of the station. The length assumed for the up gradation in both sides of CL of proposed metro station is taken as 1km maximum or mid of the section whichever is less for main road as well as cross roads, which can be reviewed during execution stage.

Construction of approach roads, Railway span, drainages, traffic safety infrastructure and movement of existing utilities have also incorporated in the Detailed Project Report (DPR). The future needs such as Bus Station and roads etc. may be included while implementing the project as per the scheme and provisions (DPR August 2018).

2.8 Workforce requirements (temporary and permanent)

Project Management Organisation (KMRL) shall manage the project with a technical team which involves in taking up the important decisions for the project. The external project management consultant appointed by KMRL. will be responsible for quality control, safety at site and also involves in monitoring the day to day activities at site.

Both temporary and permanent work force will be required for the construction and implementation of the project.

CHAPTER 11 ANALYSIS OF COSTS AND BENEFITS AND RECOMMENDATION ON ACQUISITION

11.1 Final conclusions on assessment of public purpose, less displacing alternatives, minimum requirements of land, the nature and intensity of social impacts, and viable mitigation measures will address costs. Kochi is the most densely populated city in the state and is part of an extended metropolitan region, which is the largest urban agglomeration in Kerala. Rapid urbanization and intense commercial developments in the recent past have resulted in steep rise in travel demand putting Kochi’s transport infrastructure to stress. However increase in capacity of the transport system has not been compatible with transport demand. With ever increasing demand for road space – both for vehicular movement and parking, it is difficult to depend only on road based transport solutions. Only public transport systems are more efficient users of space. The project has many positive environmental impacts like reduction in traffic congestion, saving in travel time, reduction in air and noise pollution, lesser fuel consumption, lesser road accidents etc. with a few negative impacts (especially during implementation phase of the project). The district authorities have estimated that 2.64 hectares (Approximate) of land comprising of private as well as public land for the project. The land included in 27 survey numbers belongs to Nadama village in Kanayannur Taluk is notified to acquire by Revenue (B) Department Govt. of Kerala (G.O. (P) No.109/2020/RD dated 25/12/2020). During the SIA study, the SIA unit could identify 46 land owners and it is understood that the project may cause displacement of 22 families and loss of livelihood of 24 families in addition to reduction of land holdings, loss of attached properties/structures. Since the families inherited and have been staying in the project area for many years, the LAND ACQUISITION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF VIADUCT AND METRO STATION OF THE KOCHI METRO RAIL PROJECT IN KANAYANNOOR TALUK, ERNAKULAM DISTRICT 77 emotional stress of the families should be considered during mitigation. However it is understood that the affected persons in general are positive on the benefit of the proposed Metro line as it is expected to cause safe transportation, improved connectivity with other locations and is likely to result in increase in commercial value of land. Hence fair compensation and R & R Package based on RFCTLARR Act, 2013 is expected to cover major risks through its mitigation measures.

11.2 The above analysis will use the equity principle as a framework of analysis for presenting a final recommendation on whether the acquisition should go through or not. Based on the analysis and assessment of the positive and negative impacts of the land acquisition for the project of constructing Viaduct and Metro Station at Nadama Village in Ernakulam District, it is understood that the project is expected to improve quality of living in the region especially in case of transportation and the same is empathized by many of the affected persons despite the adverse impact the project brings. Hence the SIA Team recommends the project of land acquisition from Nadama village in Kanayannor Taluk, Ernakulam District for the construction of Viaduct and Metro Station as per the existing land acquisition plan. The following measures are recommended to mitigate the impact:  Compensation shall be provided for the land owners as per the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013 and Kerala Rules 2015.  Resettlement and Rehabilitation procedure shall be done as per the Policy issued by Revenue(B) Department, Government of Kerala vide G.O.(Ms)No.448/2017/RD dated 29/12/2017 as well as G.O. (Ms) No. 485/2015/RD dated 23/09/2015for the rehabilitation and resettlement

package for land acquisition in the state in lieu of RFCTLAR&R Act 2013.  It is ensure that the pleasant stay of the residence affected families is not more adversely affecting due to the project. So timely rehabilitation measures should be ensured and prior notice to the families allotting a specified time to quit the house is recommended.

 Resettlement of the affected basic facilities like drinking water connection, toilet, well etc. should be done without causing inconvenience to the families.

 Ensure the project construction activities are not affecting the safe stay and functioning of the partially affected houses/shops in the project area.

 Measures should be taken to avoid the hindrance of the access to the nearby houses/shops, vehicle mobility and people’s movement during construction period.  Ensure scientific and timely disposal of waste which may arise out of construction.  Sufficient access should be provided to the nearby houses and shops after the implementation of the project.  Dust control activities like water sprinkling will be used in daily manner and shall continue till the construction work ends.
