The Project is to be implemented a joint venture between Government of Maharashtra (GOM), Indian Railways, BEST, MCBM and MSRDC etc. A total of 19,000 Project Affected Households (PAH's) are likely to be affected by the Project and required to be re-settled in accordance to Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R & R) policy adopted by GOM for MUTP. Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) (April 2002) prepared by MMRDA projects the details of the R & R policy, socio- economic characteristics of PAH's, resettlement entitlements and the institutional framework. The applicable Indian Laws and World Bank safeguards within which this resettlement will be carried out for this sub-projects and overall MUTP are enlisted in Articlel.2 of this Report. Therefore, as a part of Project preparation, a site specific Community Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is proposed to be carried out for each sub-project to meet the requirements of OP 4.01 guidelines published by the World Bank for each Sub-Project Site along with a Resettlement Implementation Plan (RIP). MMRDA appointed M/s. Econ Pollution Control Consultants (M/s. ECON) in November 2001 to prepare a Site specific CEMP for four permanent Resettlement Sites at DHARAVI, ANTOP HILL, WADALA, AND MANKHURD. These sites fall under option 'C' category of RAP. 1.2 Assessment Of Environmental Status And Consultations With PAH's: Quite a few PAH's, located in the safety zone of the railways were seen as a risk to safe operations of the suburban services. Due to frequent disruptions in smooth running of the train, the Mumbai High Court on receiving a representation from an NGO directed the railways to remove the encroachments on the railway land. GOM and MMRDA had to intervene and assure the Court that these squatters will be re-settled within a strict time limit. Thus permanent housing readily available with MHADA and Shiv Shahi Purnavasan Prakalp Ltd. (SSPL) were acquired for resettlement. Therefore, the formal process of reviewing alternate Resettlement Sites could not be undertaken. The PAH's at these four Resettlement Sites were shifted from various slums along the railway tracks between Kurla and Thane and some from Wadala and King's Circle. The social, economical and environmental conditions in the slums from which the PAH's were shifted varies from pocket to pocket but are by and large unhygienic, with poor living and sanitary conditions. The vast majority of people depend on stand post type water supply and defecate in the open. The solids waste is haphazardly dumped in the surrounding areas and the area get water logged during monsoon due to inadequate drainage facilities. The implementation of this CEMP is targeted to result in improving the status of PAH's in terms of their social, health and environmental conditions. Public consultation has been carried out by MMRDA for the whole of MUTP, including the final "Consolidated Environmental Assessment" study. Similarly, R & R Policy was explained to the communities as a part of the BSES. A number of consultation meetings were undertaken by M/s. ECON for this sub-project through MMRDA and the local NGO's at each of the resettlement sites at Dharavi, Antop Hill, Wadala, Mankhurd. The PAH's have been already resettled at these Four Sites in June 2001. Based on the consultation meetings with Representatives of the PAH's, information available with MMRDA, discussions with the local representatives, the environmental impacts at each of the resettlement in the post implementation stage are enlisted in Chapter -4. Also attached to this Chapter are Exhibits of problems existing at various Resettlement Sites. The impacts enlisted are restricted to environmental issues for urban infrastructure as MMRDA has undertaken to mitigate other issues brought out in the minutes by the PAH's as a part of the proper implementation of RAP / RIP. 1.3 Recommendations And Conclusions: The recommendations of the CEMP in Chapter 5 give an issue wise mitigatory action plan for each of the environmental parameters at the Four Sites along with the responsible agency, time frame and costs for their implementation. The budget for Site- wise CEMP costs is as under. SITE RUPEES Dharavi 26,50,000.00 Antop Hill 19,25,000.00 Wadala 12,45,000.00 Mankhurd 13,90,000.00 72,10,000.00 These costs do not include any cost of public consultations, awareness programmes, departmental monitoring, consultant fees, incidental expenses, sundries, etc. These costs are included in the final Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report. The recommendations include immediate formation and functioning of the EMC's at each of the Resettlement Sites. For the guidance of the EMC's, a typical maintenance schedule, budgetary calculations for monthly maintenance charges are prepared. A list of Do's and Don'ts in simple language (with its 'synopsis' in local language) to form a part of a larger awareness, educational, training and participation programme is also included. The implementation of the CEMP will be monitored by MMRDA through the NGOs based on the specific indicators presented in Annexure 5.9 to ensure that good housekeeping practices and local laws for environmental parameters are complied with. It is expected that the environmental and living conditions of the PAH's at the Resettlement Sites will improve after implementation of the CEMP along with general improvement in their health, social and economic status. 4 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview 1.1.1 Mumbai, over the last few decades, has emerged as the financial and commercial capital of India. Greater Mumbai's population that was around 4 million in 1961 is now 11.9 million in 2001. The urban growth has spread beyond the boundaries of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) in the northern, northeastern and eastern directions mainly along the suburban rail corridors to form Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Greater Mumbai has an area of 438 sq.
