EIYECU7/PE SUMMARY overnment of Bangladesh is placing priority on expansion of natural gas grid for promThe Pting extensive industrializations and accelerating balanced economic development of the countby. Demand for gas in Dhaka metropolitan city and its surrounding area has substantially incre sed due to fulfilling the requirement of several existing and upcorning gas based industrial and 4 lectricity plants in Meghnaghat, Haripur, Siddhirganj and etc. The project

Keep ng this in view, Gas Transmission Company Limited a company of Petrobangla under the Ener y and Mineral Resources Division of the Ministry of Power Energy and Mineral Resources GTC 1 has planned for executing the 30" diameter 60 km Bakhrabad-Siddhirganj (BKB-SG) Gas Pipeline Project (BSGTP) with 5 Valve Stations on the route and City Gate & Metering Stations at Siddhirganj (SG) and Meghnaghat under the SG (SPPP). It is expected that implementation of both SPP13 and BSGTP Bank will play an important role for the development of national project Requirement

The as pipeline system under the project would involve both permanent acquisition of 50.175 hect res and temporary requisition i.e. temporary acquisition of 97.575 hectares lands along the s rip alignment. This has been figured out taking in to account that, the width of acquisition land s 8 meter along the central line alignment and the additional land to be requisitioned to facilit1 te construction is 9 meter in one side and 6 meter on the other side of the a~lignment. ~redarationof RAP

preparation and inclusion of an appropriate resettlement action plan for the project persons PAP under the guide lines and directives of World Bank's Framework of Policy, OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement and within the provisions of the the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh in the project beforehand is of prime importance.

~ccokdin~l~,upon assignment from GTCL and the TOR so provided for, BETS Consulting Services Ltd. has prepared this report on Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the project. The RAP thus prepared has outlined the measures and approaches necessary for land acquisition and land requisition that would reduce the resulting resettlement impacts as per the aforelmentioned guidelines, policies and regulations.

to these guidelines, the PAP would be given all supports in regaining their pre- economic conditions as early as possible. This will also include reinstatement and public roads, banks of natural streams, rivers and canal etc with provision of irrigation canals to maintain free flow of traffic and irrigation water etc Proviision will also be there so that GTCL, the project proponent is enabled to discharge their corp$rate social responsibilities, say through distributiug some 10,000 saplings to host unity as compensatory arrangement against the 561 trees that would be removed during along the strip alignment.

Project Impact

Des ite the fact that there was no marking on the proposed alignment as of the day of the latest survi ying along the route in January, 2008, it appeared as per alignment maps provided by GTC~Land with the assistance of their surveyor at site that 91 1 PAP will be both permanently and remporarily affected as pipe line will pass through their 1443 plots. Some of them have more than one entitlement. I

Out of these 91 1 PAP, 749 are private and 62 are tenant iand owners, 10 PAP are losing Struqture, Land & Trees, 8 PAP are losing Structure & Land, 27 PAP are losing Land & Trees and {he rest 866 PAP are losing Land only. However, 1 PAP out of these 866 is losing a part of his dond and another 1 is losing a part of his poultry farm. Structures of 17 PAP and aforesaid 561 trees will have to be permanently removed.

~ocbo-economicConditions

details including analysis of the loss of assets and other wise of all these PAP een done through plot to plot survey and interview of all the homestead land, struoture owners. 759 Questionnaires were responded by owners themselves while 152 were by owner's relatives found present in HH during the survey.

The temporary nature of disturbances in the project area will occur during construction and the per anent impact shall be on long-term basis which will continue through the operation stages as ell. Most of the agricultural lands encountered along the route were low lying ones and ther have been some paddy fields which were said to be used for culturing fish during the rain reason. Pipeline is also not crossing through any forest area any where along its a~i~rjment.!

~edaleHeaded HH & SAH PAP

s have been made to identify and to look into the interest of squatters, vulnerable groups communities. Neither indigenous people nor any squatters have been found in the and therefore none of them would be affected. It was also identified that 5 out of 91 1 female headed HH as would be affected there in the pipeline route. Segment wise deta~ilanalysis has been made to identify Seriously Affected HH (SAH) it any.

It hds been noted that, some more male headed HH PAP are losing above 20% of their assets. gh some of them have a reasonable outlay of earning now, yet when such % of their would be lost as affected by the project, most of them would be in a vulnerable state.

So if has been recommended that apart from due compensation payment, the female and male headed PAP losing above 20% of their assets, the share croppers I tenants and any more ones found to be in a vulnerable state during execution period would be brought under reasonable l~velihoodrestorat~on program by providing cash grant, relocation allowance, skill tra~ning, m~crof~nanceand employment to them and their awards etc as per provision of the GOB rules and the WB OP 4.12. -- Txecu t ive Sunzn~a,-y 2 Reretthment dction Ph?z of -%'akh/-abadJiddhi1ya77;- Gas l?anr~n13rionPipeLGze 7'~qiect

Response to Project

363 i1.e. about 40 Oh of 91 1 PAP have expressed positive attitude toward the project without any condition and 548 i.e 60 % of them has also shown the same positive attitude, but with certain condi'tions of proper compensation, providing job, providing land for land etc. 2 PAP suggested findidg out alternative GOB land to pass through but none of the PAP had any negative views.

~ud/getfor RAP

analysis of the losses of PAP has been made. Estimate has been prepared for the compensation to household owners for losing land and other properties to the project. compensation cost including administrative expenses stands at figure of Tk. is based on the current market values of compensation for land, structures, trees), standing crops etc as well as renting of requisition land, income restoration grant, revolving fund for micro finance, cost of saplings and brochure distribution etc. cost of NGO services, vocational and skill training, administrative overhead, incidental charge inclu ing that of independent closure survey has been considered in the budget. However, cost of c fmmunity and public compensation 1 reinstatement is not included in the aforementioned and would be separately estimated by GTCL upon finalization of the design of the system to be executed by the EPC contractor.

The process of consultation will have to be continued with due disclosure of the project acti ities aimed at and its probable impact on the socio-economic conditions of the PAP. Simi arly, interventions on the surrounding community and public infrastructures would call for con1 ultation with them as well to ensure their due participation in taking remedial steps. PAP will have to be assured through consultation and distribution of brochure about the idea of the con truction process that will take place and where and to whom they should go if they have issu slgrievances. The land owners will be further assured that, the top-soil of their land will be stockpiled1 during construction in order to conserve the fertile layer of the soil and shall be to its original condition and quality before being returning to its respective owners upon of construction works.

~r~bniizationa~Responsibilities

Responsibilities and Monitoring & Evaluation has to be duly initiated and project proponent GTCL with promptness and pragmatic approach so that the RAP is achieved through proposed appointment of Resettlernent Specialist, Resettlement Units (FRU), CDC & GRC etc including establishing the FRU and a fully operational MIS system conforming to the organizational set up outlined in

~odrdinationwith GOB Agencies

It is evident that the project management will require approval of the their land acquisitior~and req~isitionproposal from appropriate authorities and shall have to seek cooperation and participation of other government agencies such as district administration, forest department, agriculture department, public works department etc including one or more NGO in implementing the RAP. Forest, agriculture and public works departments will support District Adrr inistration in price determination for trees, crops and structures respectively.

'L'xccut ivc Summary 3 PAP & FGD Opinion

The balient features of the opinions expressed by the participants of different profession focus groub discussion (FGD) meeting have revealed in general that they are concerned with due and rehabilitation wherever any damage is done and providing gas in 'their priority basis as and when feasible. However, laying of pipeline has been them in general.

ir opinion, as a development work of the country, it will help setting up industries, generate and its nature of impact is usually temporary, but note of caution was there from work should be done carefully to avoid any accident in future and proper and along the alignment has to be done immediately after the pipe laying

~chbduleof Implementation

~m~lkmentationof RAP would involve a good deal of continuous work directly dependent on pay ent of compensation etc. Resettlement work will be carried out on the basis of a time line as s ipulated during the period between July, 2008 & June2009 subject to extension as required by t e project authorities. Since the work on the project would continue until June, 2010, the post1 evaluation of RAP by the internal mechanism of GTCL & its Engineer and a closure survey by a independent consultant to be appointed by GTCL are also to be scheduled for completion by t 1at period.

In fi e, it is expected that GTCL will take all possible steps so that no civil works will take place befo e people have been given compensation and their entitlements. GTCL will also ensure that the RAP is implemented within the timeline through its organizational arrangements as reco mended. Accordingly, appropriate reflection of same will be there in its implementation sch dule and the budget. In other words, the Resettlement Cell will work as per the strategy so fram d within the mechanism of GTCL for example, identifying the vulnerable PAP, updating the 1replacement cost of lost assets, conducting the livelihood restoration program and redr ssing the grievances of PAP, if any and finally GTCL will get an Independent Clolsure Survieye done for further action, if any, on completion of the project.

Th Government of Bangladesh is putting emphasis on the expansion of the natural gas grid for pr moting extensive industrializations and accelerating balanced economic development of the co ntry. The Bakhrabad-Siddhirganj (BKB-SG) gas transmission line is a priority project for the Golvernmentt of Bangladesh (GOB) to primarily support the electricity generaticln plants and the industrial, commercial & domestic consumers by supplying energy for productive and co sumptive purposes. In view of the growing population near the mega-city ~6al

1 .d Project Objective

project proposes to reinforce the gas supply situation and to cover additional areas in and those extending beyond the Meghna Bridge in the south-eastern region of the

Project aims to construct a 30" dia 60 km high pressure pipeline and install two new i.e. City Gate Stations (CGS) at Siddhirganj and a Town Border Station (TBS) at Following fixing of the alignment of the proposed transmission pipeline, localtion of also been tentatively identified.

I. Project Component

Transmission Company Limited (GTCL), a company of Petrobangla under the Energy and Resources Division of the Ministry of Power Energy and Mineral Resources, has for executing the 508 mm (30 inch) diameter 60 km 1000 psig high pressulre gas pipeline along the selected route from Bakhrabad to Siddhirganj (BKB-SC;) with at Siddhirganj and Meghnaghat under the Siddhirganj Peaking Power Project from Word Bank.

1. 3 Project Location and Route Finalization

~hbproposed project is located in the eastern Bangladesh with its boundary covering the ricts of , Munshiganj, Narayanganj. The Right of Way (ROW) of the pipeline is over the of Muradnagar, Daudkandi, Gazaria, Sonargaon and Bandar, under boundaries of the above mentioned districts.

site stretches mostly on the agricultural land through the right side of the Power line along the Dhaka- highway up to Comilla; from Eliotganj bazar; it The Eliatganj bazaar - Bakhrabad gas field section of the pipeline is located of .

In fipalizing the route, a number of factors have been taken into consideration, most the avoidance of areas with high population density, historic buildings, water parks, and religious institutions etc. from the routing and design of the such as access to the pipeline from the main road and avoidance of and high way crossings etc were also considered.

The alignment of the proposed pipeline has been finalized by GTCL upon due consideration of alter ative routes in terms of socio-economic and technical studies and validated through field che king to minimize resettlement impacts, avoiding major settlements and dense populations horn steads, trees, business areas and squatters' habitats. The detail route survey has been don to cover the entire route of the pipeline including special crossings and critical sections of the ipeline and plant components of the project to ensure a minimum number of road, river and rail/ ay crossings etc. TheRAP~ has been prepared on the basis of this "best option route". The alignment Key map is placed in Fig-3.1 and the segment wise alignment Key map is plac kd in Fig4.1. 1.4 Objective and Scope of Social Impact Assessment (SIA)

7.4. Objective ~ GT L has assigned BETS Consulting Services Ltd. to prepare this report on Resettlement Acti n Plan (RAP) for the project. Thus BETS has endeavoured to prepare the same according to t e guidelines given in the Terms of Reference (TOR) of GTCL, the guidelines and directives of ramework of Resettlement Policy, OP 4.12 of the World Bank (WB) on lnvolu~ntary Resi ttlement and the provisions of the regulations of the Government of the People's Republic of Bbngladesh (GOB).

he Objective of the SIA was to identify all project affected people and impacts on them rring due to land acquisition and requisition, loss of income and access to comrr~unity through a series of surveys and intensive consultations with the PAPS.

findings of these consultative exercises, the consultant was responsible to Action Plan that clearly lays out recommendations and strategies to ize and mitigate adverse impacts of land acquisition and requisition and to ensure that the affected people, at a minimum get back to their pre-project condition by ensuring payment according to the WB OP 4.12 and GOB regulations and providing of all losses.

rhi has to be done with special attention to all types of vulnerable and severely affected -peo t le. The guiding principles have also included establishing a grievance redress mechanism with representation from stakeholders, a continuing process of consultation with the affected peo ble and participative design and implementation of the project. he scope of the Social Assessment is:

*:+ Describing the existing social condition of the area +> ldentifying important social components and project affected persons *> Assessing the potential impacts of interventions on those components, including *:* Residual impacts of the proposed project +3 ldentifying mitigation measures to minimize the impacts *> Preparing a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) *:* Preparing a social management and monitoring plan In fine, the social impact assessment contains a Resettlement Action Plan and Social Plan to offset the adverse impacts and enhance the favourable impacts. It also and institutional arrangements for further monitoring in future.

I.5 General Description of the Project impact Area

of the affected areas are paddy fields of high yielding variety Boro crop. In some areas e fields and potato crops are also seen especially in Comilla. During the m~onsoon,people 1 fish in the inundated paddy fields. The largest percentage of affected people is farmers ~~~u~allbusinessmen. permanent loss for the occupation of private land for the entire pipeline is 50.175 hectares and some public land at both banks of the 5 rivers being crossed by the pipeline.

~es/desthis, 97.575 (ha) lands, all owned by the private land owners, will be temporariiy in use durihg~ the construction of the pipeline. The details of the respective permanent and temporarily land area impacted by the project are givdn in the master data sheet placed at Appendix-A.

will cross a number of LGED feeder roads connecting different villages with the and small canals and will also cross 5 rivers. These rivers are The Sitalakhya, the the Meghna Gumati, the Kazla and the Meghna. In rder to avoid disruption to navigation, fishery and other aquatic resources, Horizontal Dir ctional Drilling (HDD) will be used across these major river crossings. Similarly, Thrust- Boring," Method (TBM) will be practiced for the High and major road crossings while rural feeder roaas will be provided with alternative pathways during temporary disruption of traffic.

1.6 1 Limitations An IN SIA and RAP study is generally carried out after the detailed design of the project. In the cas$ of the present project, only the route alignment is fixed but detailed design of the project is o be finalized. Following completion of the detail design and pre-approval of the concerned including demarcation of ROW along the selected route, a plan will be submitted to Office for respective permanent & temporary land acquisition and requisition fordalities. heb before a tentative idea of the construction activity and design of this project as provided by GT~Lhas been considered for the EINESIA and the RAP study.

I.7 The Consulting Team ~x~~eriencedteam of professional consultants and field personnel were engaged as per TOR in prekaring the social impact assessment and in data collection respectively. The present RAP Redort has been developed by this multidisciplinary team of BETS Consultants as follows:

Mr. Delawar Bakht, PEng. Team Leader Mr. ASM Sayeed Gas Pipeline Specialist Dr. Md. Showkat Osman Environmental Specialist Mr. Tarek Bin Hossain, PEng. Geologist1Hydrologist Dr. Shaker Ahmed Socio-economist Dr. A.K.M. Nazrul Islam Ecologist Md. Humayun Kabir Re-settlement Specialist lniti Ily a batch of 4 field workers with multidisciplinary background helped the team by collecting dat from the field during June-July, 2007and another batch of 15 enumerators were deployed for revi iting the ROW and conducted the plot to plot survey including market survey during De ember, 2007- January, 2008. 1i

The esettlement Action Plan (RAP) has been prepared on the basis of the essential information and primary data collected during surveys carried out over two stages and several round of consultations with the PAPs, local authorities, GTCL officials and local people. The functi nal methodology followed for preparing this revised report on the RAP of the project is outlinqdI below: The r settlement specialist of the EA consultant, BETS worked together with a tea~mcomprising of thei pipeline engineering, environmental and socio-economic consultants for the study. The shrveys and consultations for the Social Impact Assessment were carried out in 2 stages. and supervised 12 fieldworkers in stage -1 and 8 in Stage -2, who worked with from GTCL surveyors -the National Survey Organization, to identify the of the pipeline including assessing 'the permanent acquisition and and the affected structures, trees etc.

stage -1 comprised of a mostly qualitative analysis based on a sample size of 80 households. e - 2, the enumerators collected all necessary information from the total project affected of 91 1 PAPs, using a structured questionnaire, one on one consultation and some Discussions (FGDs). The sample questionnaire and the mastler data base collected information are placed in the Appendix-C.

The etails of the data on public and community land, rivers, roads, canals etc has been collec1 ed from the National Survey Organization of GTCL. This has been elaborated in subse~quentchapters and placed in Appendix-D.

2.1 Methodology

The ~locialAssessment was carried out in two phases:

ldentdfication of PA Ps:

In the first phase, 80 households were identified through simple random sampling among the total affect d population in the project area. BETS was assisted in this process by officials from the NSO, who supplied the requisite maps of the pipeline alignment and were already familiar with the p oject area having surveyed for the number of plots and structures during the route finalizI tion process. urpose for selecting these households was to identify expected impacts on them and h a consultative process with a representative sample of people, arrive at suitable measures for the whole affected population.

was undertaken between lMay and June 2007 and consisted of a team of 19 and specialists. The research, data collection and analysis were mostly qualitative

DurinI the second phase of the Social Assessment, all affected plots were identified using %xefffiment action Fh7z of zakA~abad_ciiddAi~ganj Gas T~a72~7nirxio7~Fbefi7ze F1~07ect mouz? maps supplied by GTCL 1 NSO and juxtaposing them with maps of the pipeline alignment. The plots were counted and assigned numbers which were then entered into a databbse. oncethe plots were identified, numbering 1443 in total, a plot by plot household level survey onducted (one household may own more than one plot) to identify all 911 affected washous f holds. The dampling strategy for this survey was to include all the households affected in the ROW (inclubing all the privately held land area to be acquisitionedl requisitioned; affected public land holdidg entities were consulted separately).

The dames of the heads of house holds was entered into the database to correspond with their plot npmbers and type of losses i.e. only land loss and 'land and other losses'.

2.2 Consultation Process stag4-1 of the consultation process was held between June and July of 2007, ancl comprised of Focu Group Discussions (FGD) at 9 sites around the transmission pipeline ROW and valve statios sites in Sonargaon, Munshigonj and Comilla. The 9 FGDs addressed 65 PAPs (7-8 per sessi 6n

comprised of affected land and house owners; people from the stu~dent,farming, service holding communities; school teachers, religious leaders, members and includi~gchairmen of the Union Councils, 2 personnel from BETS, 1 and at different times 8 officials from GTCL were also present during people's views and suggestions. In addition all concerned Chairmen

2.2.1 i The FGD Process Consisted of:

An information dissemination session where the BETS consultants provided all project ~nformationto the PAPs present, An open discussion on the proposed project and its positive and negative impacts, Presentation of several mitigation options and feed back from the affected people Recording of their feed back, opinions, perceptions and alternative suggestions for consideration and incorporation into the RAP.

of the locations, names of the PAPs consulted and the key points of disc;ussion can be Chapter 6. The details of the FGD meeting in phase-I records have been incorporated in a summary format and presented in Table-6.2.1, while Table-6.2.2 through the number and composition of the participants in these meetings. The details of records have been annexed at Annexure-7.

In phlase 2 the consultation strategy was two pronged as follows:

level: This involved information dissemination to each and every PAP during the that took place between December 27, 2007 and January 12, 2008 on the questionnaire, and using the latter to determine what the afects on the household are.

The PAP'S opinions about the project impacts (including land acquisition and requisition, loss of crops and houses1structures); negativelpositive attitude towards the implementation of the project; suggestions regarding preferred mitigation measures and means of compensation etc

Chayter-2: Ayyroach and%letliodblogy 5 wer gathered during the survey and duly recorded in the questionnaire itself. These were used to glide the mitigation measures and strategies proposed in the RAP. b) wider Public Consultations: These took place between December ~7'~,2007 and January lzth,2008; 3 - 9 sessions were held per day at different locations. But it may be noted here that,' no formal consultations were held during second phase of survey. Individual and informal public consultations were held in different places since formal consultation with the affected and key informants were held during the 1st phase of survey. The consultation strategy comprised of h lding 38 Focus Group Discussions with the affected people. 16 officials from GTCL and its sur ey organization were present, as were 36 personnel from BETS In the first and second pha es of survey, GTCL delegated NSO for representing the GTCL and accordingly, one staff fro NSO was continuously present during all through out the survey time. Other than IVSO, in 1'' 1hase of survey two officials visited the site from GTCL. In the 1'' phase survey, one junior and 213 senior consultants from BETS visited the sites and occasionally attended in formall and info9 ma1 consultation along with six field investigators and one supervisor. And second phase su ey 12 investigators with a supervisor and two consultants were involved. Each investigator was"1 assigned four 5km alignment. So, some of them attended more than one meeting in the fordal and informal consultation process as per convenience.

background, nature and components of the project; summary findiugs of ,the SIA studies respect to both positive and negative impacts; determination of replacement value of the being affected, compensation determination and payment strategy and the constitution redress mechanism were presented to the PAPs and then discussed in details. and concerns of all PAPs regarding the above mentioned topics to be duly addressed in the RAP.

2.3 Determination of the Socio-economic Baseline and Identification of Project Impacts

~atbon the socio economic baseline condition of all 911 identified PAPs was collected from the project site through the plot by plot household survey and a structured questionnaire applied to a~llthe affected households. The primary information gathered from this field survey included dehographic statistics comprising population, age group, educational status, income, health and living conditions etc. All the data and deta~lsof the baseline condition are available in ChJ pter 4 Th project impact data was collected systematically during the plot by plot survey using the structurede questionnaire and one-on-one consultations with all 91 1 PAPS. rh identified impacts were entered into the database to correspond with plot numbers aed na- 1es of the household headslowners to allow for the best understanding of different logies of impacts( permanent, temporary loss of land, loss of houses and structures, loss of me from businesses and house rent; loss of trees and crops, percentage loss of assets vis- total assets etc) on each household, and ascertain categories of impacted PAPs, such as:

a) PAPs losing land only b) PAPs losing land and structures c) PAPs losing land and trees d) PAPs losing land, structure and trees e) PAPs losing income from the disruption of businesses, renting houses or lands, loss of i private ponds etc. f) PAPs in an especially vulnerable position, for e.g. women headed households, those near or below the poverty line, the elderly, the handicapped etc. ) PAPS losing over 20%, 30°h and 40% of their lands respectively, to determine their percentage loss of assets vis-a vis their total asset holdings and help define Severely 9 Affected Households (SAH) ) PAPS who have to be permanently displaced and resettled either on their own lands nearby, or, if no such land is left after the acquisition process, at some other locality

were disaggregated and analysed according to temporary and permanent loss,

This IS a strip acquisition and requisition. In case of crops, trees and structure this is immaterial whe her it is permanent or temporary, the fact is that the affected items will be damaged or it will e relocated. But in case of land loss, no isolated case has been found and in case of only acq$isitionI or requisition land loss though logically and theoretically some one may have temborary or permanent loss.

2.4 Livelihood Restoration Strategy & Program

As per World Bank policy of resettlement, the livelihood of the affected persons should be bett r if possible. At least the previous economic status is to be maintained. So the RAP has bee 1designed in such a way that the affected person's economic condition will be much better. months income restoration grant will be provided for income loser, On the other hand, for training and micro-credit will be provided by NGO, if engaged by GTCL or they would any alternative for the same. The authority, i.e. GTCL while preparing the EPC co~ntract create a provision to engage affected persons in the construction work as and when

plan for awareness program and market-oriented training for economic devlelopment of the persons shall have to be made as well. The authority may also provide a revlolving of the commercial bank(s) in the area for credit program in order to upkeep their

of land will be compensated at market replacement cost. A cash grant wiil be provlicled to unt for the difference between the compensation provided under the Acquisition and of Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO) and the replacement value.

Th replacement value will be based on the market price determined through a land market su ey by the Compensation Determination Committee (CDC). Loss of structures will be co pensated in accordance with the compensation provided under the ARIPO plus a house coqstruction4 grant amount determined by CDC based on market price during implementation period.

PA losing wage labour or employment will be provided a one-time maintena~ncegrant based age rate at the implementation period per day for 90 days and will be provided vocational trai 1ing. Preference will also be given to PAP in engaging labour for the project activities. ~oh~ensationfor other categories of losses has been identified in the entitlement matrix.

without a definite means of livelihood is entitled to vocational training. The programs are ifically aimed at landless households, wage labourers and sharecroppers affected by the ct. Long-term training (2-6 months) w~llbe provided on motor mechanics, cjrivling, rickshaw bly and repair, secretarial skills / word processing, plumbing, electrical and metal works, anufacturing of rural sanitary equipment. Short-term (3-5days) skills training for those d in low-skill activities will be provided in fisheries, animal husbandry, vegetable raising p diversification, low-cost house building etc. Bxetthment Action Phz of Bakk77abad_Ciddki~~aniGar T~a?zsmirxio?zFipek7ze P~~iect

sorts of training and such other supplementary income generating activities will also be to target groups like affected women on plant nurseries, tailoring and handicrafts, bee and homestead gardening etc. Skills training may also be provided for women on health and hygiene, family welfare etc. These vocational training palckages may be out to nongovernmental organizations by the GTCL

2.5 ( Identification of other Project Impacts:

Roa s, rivers and khals which will be affected by the pipeline construction were surveyed and studied by the NSO prior to the SIA undertaken by BETS. These findings of the IVSO have bee ," incorporated into this report by BETS. Detailed tables containing information on roads, riveris and khals which will be affected are presented in Chapter 5. 2.6 ~ Determination of Replacement Cost for Assets Lost to the Project: deployed a team to conduct the market survey between 17thand 28th January 2008, from BETS, to estimate the compensation payment figures based on for lost assets. This data was gathered from:

a) Affected people 1 b, Land Developers i C) DC's Office

The estimates for land prices as perceived by the PAPS was gathered from them during the household survey and the FGD s carried out as part of the Consultation process in stage 2.

NSO deployed a team consisting of 6 members to gather land price data from 2 land lopers in Dhaka city (who agreed to the consultation on condition of anonymity) who have purchased land near the project affected areas and are planning to buy land in the impact area for industrial purposes in the near future.

rates were then compared to those recorded by Sub-Registers at the Land Acquisition of the DC offices, where the recorded land price is a gross under-estimate (to avoid but the sub registrars often know the true price of the land being registered.

But only the Market Price (as collected from the Developers) was taken into consideration when det rmining the replacement cost of land i.e. the value at which a similar piece of land can be bounhtF in the same locality or the nearest possible location at current market prices.

To etermine the replacement cost of houses and structures such as sheds, the structures wer 1categorized as pucca, semi pucca, and katcha. The builders, housing contractors and whdlesalers of cement, bricks and other housing accessories of Narayanyanj, Kanchpur, shiganj and Dhaka were contacted and asked to provide an estimate of the replacement for the types of housing and structures categorized above.

rage Land Price, average price of tin and steel rods and prices from the DC Land uisition Office are attached in the Annex.

of instability in the market prices of construction materials, it is rather difficult to indicate the respective prices that would prevail during the period of project However, the prices as collected through recent market survey has been

After deducting the payment made by the DC, the Xexetthnzent action Fh?z of ~akh7-abadrSiddhi~aaniGar 3i.a1~xmzkrio~zPipe fine y.'raiect amgunt will be paid by GTCL or the NGO on behalf of GTCL. The inflation @ 30 % per year hasto be added if payment is delayed. h he/ official of the Dept. of Forest (DOF) usually determine the compensation rates of trees by eyeestimation of the size and type of the trees depending on the prevailing market price

In bsence of any accepted rate and variation in market value, the price determined bly ,the DO does not correspond to the replacement cost in terms of fuel wood, timber and fruit value. Fro resettlement point of view, the fruit value for successive years is not being currently incl ded in the rates determined by DOF. CDC will assess and establish the replacement cost by arket survey of all these elements of size, type, quantity of fuel wood and timber value of tre s and in case of fruit trees, the quantity of fuel wood, timber and fruit value for at least for 5 years.I ~ad~e-2.q: Construction materials

Chapter 3 POLICIESREGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES

3.1 Policies, Regulations and Guidelines 3. I.1 ~ Applicable laws and policies to be followed for the RAP The policy framework and entitlements for the Project are based on the national law i.e. ~c~uisitionand Requisition of lmmoveable Property Ordinance of 1982 and the World Bank Operbtional Policy on Involuntary Resettlement referred to as OP 4.12.

On tee other hand, any construction and extension of gastransrrrission pipe line including statiqns facilities of the project proposed to be implemented by GTCL requires strict com@l~ancewith laws, rules and regulations pertinent to the environment and society.

epartment of Environment (DOE) of the Government of Bangladesh is responsible for application of environmental laws and issuance of necessary cleiarances. The proc dures and requirements for EIA under the gas sector preceded the introduction of the ~nvironmentaConservation Act in 1995, which introduced a requirement for any prop sed "industrial Unit or project" to obtain prior approval from the DOE.

The bnvironmental Conservation Act has classified projects to be assessed by the DOE- in thre categories (green, amber, red). Gas development projects are allocated to the red cate on], which triggers an automatic requirement for an IEE followed by a full EIA. Subject to a 1atisfactory review of the environmental assessment, the DOE issues an authorization for t e project to proceed. The authorization consists of two parts: a "site clearanlce", whic 1 gives approval to the site proposed for the project and an "environmental clearance", which approves the technical, environmental and socio-economic content of the proje/ct.

How ver, since the proposed project of GTCL is being financed by WB, the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP ) has to be prepared as per the TOR of GTCL in addition to the afore said IEE & EIA docuL ents and follow both guidelines of WB in respect of OP 4.01- Environmental Assessment and mor$ specifically OP 4.12.- Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement.

3.2 GOB Land Acquisition ACT and Regulations

overnment is legally bound to pay compensation money for the acquired land, structures Apart from payment of CCL (cash Compensation under the Law which includes 50% money, government is doing all recognized efforts in regaining previous socio position of affected persons.

Spe ial attention has been made for vulnerable, indigenous people and female headed hou eholds, as applicable, from resettlement point of view in case of donor supported projects. Tho gh not legally obligated, the government takes care about providing these facilities through administrative.: instance.

3.2.2 Building Construction (Amendment) Act, 1990 and Building Construction Rules '1996

uilding Construction Act dates back to the early fifties of the last century. Documents indicate the existence of the Government Bulldings Act, 1899, which is to provide for the from the operation of municipal building laws of certain building and lancls, which are the in the occupation of the Government and situated within the limits of a municipality. The Municipal Building Laws to regulate the creation, recreation, construction, alteration or of buildings within the limits of any municipality have been superseded by this Act. essence of enactment to provide for the prevention of haphazard construction of thus felt by the Legislative Assembly in 1952. Accordingly, tf-R "Building W 1952" was promulgated on 21 March 1953 as the East Bengal Act II of '1953.

.C. Act 1952 was conceived to enforce the activities towards streamlining the planned and beautification program of the government.

~inciits promulgation in 1953 the Act was in force with very little or no amendment up to 1986 whe a very important modification of far-reaching effect was added through proclaimir~gan ordinance titled, "the building Construction (Amendment) Ordinance, 1986 (Ordi No. LXXll of 1986 " by the then government. Later in 1987, the National Assembly in its session im the mon h of March adopted the ordinance for enactment as "The Building construiction (Am ndment) Act, 1987 (Act No. 12 of 1987)". The preamble to state the objectives of the ame dment reveals that "although the trial court has the power to order removal of unauthorizedI construction after passing the order of conviction under section 12, this power has een found to be insufficient, as a criminal case can not normally be fina~lly disposed of quic !ly, besides even after disposal of the criminal case by the trial court, the prosecution is lingelrecl by way of appeals".

er to take steps to prevent unauthorized construction or to remove such construction, officer has been empowered through this amendment so that hetshe can take in this respect without intervention of the court.

The ct was subjected to another amendment in 1990 allowing some power to the At0 issuik g limited sanction to cut or raze down any hill within the area to which this Act applies.

3.2.3 Power Policy, 1995

This ils presently an integral part of the National Energy Policy 1995, like the Petroleum Policy. This has different policy statements on demand forecast, long-term planning and project investment and lending terms, fuels and technologies, power supply to the and remote load centres, tariff, captive and stand by generation, system loss and conservation, reliability of supply, system stability, load private sector participation, human resource develdprnent, technology transfer and research program, environment

As tbe proposed project is related to a Power Transmission Project, all necessary requirement mentioned above will have to be kept in view and adopted for the project as appli kable.

3.2.4 Energy Policy (1996)

The ational Energy Policy provides for the utilization of energy for sustairlable economic grow h, supply to different zones of the country, development of the indigenous energy sources and nvironmentally sound sustainable energy development programs. The policy highlights the importance1 of protecting the environment by requiring an EIA for any new energy deve oprnent project, or introduction of economically viable and environment friendly tech Aology. 3.2.5 Industrial Policy (1 999)

Policy, 1999 aims to ensure a high rate of investment by the public sectors, a strong productive sector, direct foreign investment, development of industries, introduction of new appropriate technology, women's participation, small and cottage industries, entrepreneurship development, high growth of expop, infrastructure development and environmentally sound industrial development. WTO guidqlines have been proposed to be followed in the Industrial Policy.

3.3 World Bank Policy on 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement

In submary, the World Bank policy requires:

Avoiding or minimizing adverse project impacts where possible; ii) Consulting with affected people (AP) in project planning and implementation; 1 iii) Disclosure of RAP and project related information to the affected person;

I iv) Payment of compensation for acquired assets at the marketlreplacement value; V) Resettlement assistance to PAP, including non titled persons (informal dwellers1 l squatters and encroachers); vi) Income restoration and rehabilitation program; and 1 vii) Special attention for vulnerable groups.

According to the World Bank Operational Polices OP 4.12, the borrower should take in to consi eration certain specific issues during preparation of RAP in the cases of Involuntary Rese ftlement. These are as follows:

m Bank experience indicates that involuntary resettlement under development projects, if unmitigated, often gives I-ise to severe economic, social, and environmental risks; production systems are dismantled; people face impoverishmerlt when their productive assets or income sources are lost; people are relocated to environments where their productive skills may be less applicable and the competition for resources are greater; community institutions and social networks are weakened; kin groups are dispersed; and cultural identity, traditional authority, and potential for mutual help are diminished or lost. The policy includes safeguards to address and mitigate these impoverishment risks. 1 In case of policy objectives, involuntary resettlement may cause severe long-iierm hardship, impoverishment and environmental damage unless appropriate measures are carefully planned and carried out. For these reasons, the overall objectives of the Bank's policy on involuntary resettlement are the following:

(a) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs (b) Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be meaningfully consullted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs (c) Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre displacement levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. For impacts covered, the involuntary taking of land resulting in (i) relocation or loss of shelter (ii) lost of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location. (a) For the above mentioned facts, the required measures are, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework which includes measures to ensure that the replaced persons are, (i) informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement (ii) consulted on, offered choices among the ones provided within the technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives (iii) provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. (b) If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons a~re:(i) Provided assistance such as moving allowances) during relocation; and (ii) provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or as required, agriculture sites for which a combination of productive potential, location advantages and other factors are at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site, (c) Displaced persons are (i) offered support after displacement, for transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living; and (ii) Provided with the development assistance in addition to compensation measures such as credit facilities, tainting, or job opportunities. The process framework also includes a description of arrangements for implementing and monitoring the process Regarding vulnerable people bank pollicy, particular attention is paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, especially those below poverty line, the land less, the elderly, woman and children, indigenous people, ethnic minorities, or other displaced persons may not be protected through national land compensation legislation. In case of relocation, provision of compensation and of other assistance required for relocation, prior to replacement, and preparation and provision of resettlemen1 sites with adequate facilities, where required. In particular, taking of land and related assets may take place only after compensation. Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihood is land based. Replaced persons and their communities and any host community are provided 'with timely information, consulted on resettlement options and offered opportunities to participate in planning, implementing and monitoring resettlement. Appropriate and accessible grievance redress mechanisms are established. The host community's facilities and the cultural institutions of re-settlers anld the host comm~~nitiesare ,also to be preserved. Relating to eligibility for benefits, it is essential to determine who will be eligible for assistance as well as to discourage inflow of ineligible ones for any assistance. Meaningful consultations with affected persons, community, local zluthorities and NGOs will have to be cor~firmed. Classifications and criteria of eligibility (a) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country) (b) those who do not have legal rights to land at the time of beginning1 of census but have a claim to such land or assets provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recogr~izedthrough a process identified in the resettlement plan (c) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. Persons covered under 15(a), (b), or(c) of OP 4.12 will be eligible for compensation. That is, they will be provided compensation for the land they lose and other assistance in accordanlce with the provisions of Section-6. Persons covered under Para 15(c) i.e. squatters are provided resettlement assistance. In lieu of compensation for the land they occupy and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the objectives set out in the policy, if they are in the project area prior to the cut off date established by the borrower and acceptable to the Bank, but the persons who encroach on the area after the cut off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in Para 15(a), (b), or (c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land. (Section-?6) Above mentioned statements are the major highlights of the World Bank's guidelines of OP 4.12 pertaining to Involuntary Resettlement.

The orld Bank was the first international development agency to respond to thlis displacement cons quences by adopting in 1980 a formal policy for resettlement. Bangladesh has: i11 the mean7 ime, gone a long way with its resettlement activities according to the World Bank's OP 4.12 in a gbod number of aided projects. A few of them are:

to the World Bank resettlement policy 4.12, compensation is to be paid at value where no option for "land for land" is possible. Squatter, wage loser, indigenous people and women should be specially handled, so that their' not be deteriorated.

Wage loser should be given special training and support in regaining their previous socio- econ mic condition. Valuation of the standing crops is determined by DC with the assistance from 1he Agriculture Marketing Extension Services. The orld Bank Involuntary Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy requires that the displaced pers ,"ns should be (i) compensated for their losses at replacement costs;

(ii) assisted with the move, during the transition period at the relocation site; and

(iii) enabled to reconstruct a land-based productive existence; and (iv) , assisted in their efforts to improve their former level of living standards, income earning I capacity, and productive levels, or at least to restore them. The absence of legal titles to land should not be a bar to compensation. In other words, all PAP should be benefited from the Project, irrespective of their legal status as landowners or users of prc~ject acquired land.

The Policy also requires that population displacement should be avoided or minirn~ized whe A ever possible and that the PAP and host population should be involved in resettlement and implementation.

4.0 Objectives and Scope of the Baseline Study

Th objective of carrying out a socio economic survey is to provide basic socio economic information of the people going to be affected, temporarily or permanently, due to the req1 isition and acquisition of land and property for this project and to identify probable future implacts on the community and affected people.

~hflbaseline information obtained through initial and subsequent plot to plot survey with spelcifically designed questionnaire helps establish an important backdrop against which the sca e and degrees of impacts on affected people can be accurately assessed. It also helps to ideitify especially vulnerable and severely affected groups who qualify for added assistance ovelr and above the compensation made to other PAPs.

Th ' socio economic baseline condition of the proposed alignment was collected frorn the site through structured questionnaires, household surveys and traversing along the ROW. bounding of the study area for data collection was the plots affected by the pipeline route the block lands involved in the project.

e key areas studied to develop the socioeconomic baseline for the PAPs were: land use , development activities; employment and labor market; distribution of income, goods public health; education; cultural properties (archaeological and historically vulnerable groups (very poor, those who have no formal title of land, by women, isolated groups and the disabled), customs; aspirations and lnit ally 4 field investigators and subsequently 15 experienced enumerators including one field co rdinator collected the data using the structured questionnaire which was applied to id1 the 91 identified PAP households. Out of the 911 respondents to the questionnaire, 759 were the ow ers of affected assets themselves (household head) while 152 were relatives of the actual owhers,k where the latter were not present at the time of the survey.

4.1 General Description of the Project Impact Area ~hhmajor portion of the 60 km gas pipeline will cross mostly paddy fields and other crop lands alo g the right of way (ROW). Most of the houses and structures in the locality are semi-pucca (bu~iltn with tin and some use of cement and mud), some are katcha (built with mud and straw, altdough some houses closer to the highway are relatively well built pucca structures (bu~lltwith bridks and cement).

~h$ROW is 8m wide along the central alignment, 9m wide on one side of the alignment and 6m wide on the other (23m in total width). The 8m under the central alignment will be pe manently acquired; although crops may be replanted in the acquisitioned area (with restrictions),1 no structures can be erected and no trees may be planted. ~hh9m and 6m areas on either side of the pipeline will be temporarily requisitioned during the struction phase and will be returned to the owners once the construction work on their land ompleted. However trees and structures may be removed during the construction phase to for heavy transport and building equipment.

Over 45% fall in the agb group 20-49 years, some 40% have not crossed 14 years and about 3% are senlor citizen$ being above 60. 1 Table-4 .2.1: Male & Female numbers of the HH under different age groups

This tdlls us that a large chunk of the affected population, almost 46%, falls within the working 20 - 49 years. This is important information to consider when designing mitigation as local people from this age group can be employed in project activities; of new business opportunities and training for new skills development would be in this group. Elderly household heads will receive extra assistance above payment to cope with changes brought about by project impacts.

4.2.4 Income ta relating to household income was gathered during the plot by plot survey in the stage of the SIA, using a structured questionnaire.

It is fo nd that the Income of approximately 70 % the PAPS is in the range of Tk. Ei,000 -15,000 per m nth; wh~le13 % earn more than that. This would mean that given the living standards in the ar a, and prices of essential goods and services prevailing there at the time of the surveys, the m 1jority of people were reasonably well-off. ~oweder,the impact of the current food crisis in the country and rising costs of food and fiuel can ble expected to have adversely affected their disposable income levels and living stand 4rds. Although this is not a direct impact of the project, it may alter the socio-econornic scenario somewhat. Hence the project should consider these affects when putting mitigation measqres in place, especially since some standing crops and agricultural land will also be acquiditioned by the project, perhaps worsening the situation for local people, especially if they are su~bsistencefarmers.

9 households who are found to be below the poverty line (where the lower estimate i.e. 'rk. 36,000 per annum' has been considered) and hence should assistance to cope with the project impacts and at the least restore their levels if not improve them.

The ~bbleshows that the range of monthly income of 17% of the sample house hold is Tk. 3000- 5000, hhere 49% of them earn 5001-10000. 20% earn 10,001-15,000 and 8% have 1,001-20,000. able-42.5: Income Level of Households

In 'the light f this, mitigation measures should consider enhancing access to micro-credit and SlVlE creditR facilities, simple forms of business development services (BDS) training, simple training on enhancing value added to agricultural products etc.

Over alf of the female population among the affected households is engaged in housework, while 35% of them are either students or children. Most of them are therefore non-income earniqgh members of the households. However, even though the project may not impact their incomb status significantly, relocating households to different localities will substantially increase their work load and may sever them from an established social network on which such wome,n are typically highly dependent.

For students of both sexes, resettlement may cause disruption in the normal SCIIOOI year and may t a ke them far away from their present educational institutions. 4.2.6 1 Earning Member in the Affected HH

4.2.4 Female Headed Household

The slurvey revealed that only 5 out of 911 affected households are female headeld.

~rom~able-4.2.8it can be seen that the Socio-Economic condition of 3 of the Female Headed holds who are involved in farming is particularly vulnerable as they are barely able to their income and expenditure currently.

Altho gh they are losing a relatively small % of their land to the project, and none are lolsing any t1 ees or structures, these three farmer households are directly dependent on the lainds being/ lost for their primary source of income, and all three of them are losing 100% of their crop to acquisition and requisition. This puts them in a very vulnerable situation where they may not even be able to feed themselves unless the project takes adequate mitigation measlures to counter these impacts on them.

Thei come status of the household receiving remittances from abroad is relatively better, but her hlusehold too is losing 100% of their crops.

~hapt-eu-4:Socio Tconornic 'Uasefine 23 The h usehold that is involved in business is very well to do and well educated in comparison to the eneral income status prevailing in the project area. Her household is losing the highest perce 1tage of land to both acquisition and requisition, but it is not dependent on the lands for its primark source of income.

It also bernonstrates the percentage of land which will be impacted by the project tlhrough acquisition nd requisition. The highest percentage of affected people are in Cornilla, particularly in 6audkandi Upazila; but the scale of the impact at the district level is ncrt very significant, ranging from 2.8 - 4.6 Oh people affected; between 0.1 - 0.13% land acquisitioned and between 0.15 - 0.2% land requisitioned per district.

~lhesurvey findings indicate that a total of 50.175 hectares of land (12398.1 decimals) will be plermanently acquisitioned along the 60 km length and 8m width of the central pipeline a/ignment. dange of Land loss and Percentage of PAP affected

T/he details placed in Table - 5. 3 shows that out of the 91 1 total PAP:

43% of them are losing between 0 to 2% of their land permanently, 48% are losing between 2-5% of their lands permanently, i 0 I I 0 5.93% are losing between 10-20% of their lands. I qowever, the severity of impact will depend on the socio-economic profile of the affected people and the extent to which they are dependent on these lands for their livelihoods.

I can also be seen that 12 people are losing between 20 and 40% of their lands while 1 PAP is I b sing over 40%. In fact, the socio economic baseline tells us that this particular PAP is losing 'o of his land to permanent acquisition and 25% to temporary requisition. These impacts are It deed severe and will need special attention to determine extra assistance to the affected over and beyond the normal compensation package. Severity of impact is discussed in a in this Chapter. jabie-5.3: Summary of Range of Loss Land under Acquisition

/Out of the 17 houses which have to be removed, 13 are either Kacha or semi kacha, i.le. made kith bamboo matting with tin roofs and mud flooring. There are some houses with tin walls and a pix of cement and mud flooring. The poultry farm too is a semi-kacha structure made with Pamboo matting, tin and mesh. Most of these houses range between 540 - 288 sq. ft, with the Exception of the farm structure and a house belonging to the PAP in plot ;# 98 that are both pbout 1013 sq. ft in size.

5 houses are of a slightly better quality, or of the semi-pucca variety. These are generally brick- built with tin shed roofing; some have tin walls as well. The kacha houses should be fairly easy to dismantle and re-build. In case of PAP on requisitioned land, they will be free to rebuild at the original site if feasible, once the land is returned to them, while shifting somewhere else in the interim. In case of houses removed from acquisitioned land, PAP will not be able to rebuild any structure there. They may rebuild on some other portion of their own land outlside the acquisition area if feasible, or they will have to relocate to an alternative area.

5.5 Business and Income Losses

a) Poultry Farm: The Poultry farm will need to be dismantled and relocated at a different location, because it is not feasible to rebuild it on the owner's residual land (after acquisition). his will involve identification of alternative land for the farm, costs for the physical removal and Chayte,r-5:analysis of SocialIrnpacis an~t~~itzgationOytions 32 Xeretthment action =/%znof ~tak/i~abndyiddhi~gnniGnr G~1~smrlrrio77 =/'ipefi77e ?~~nst consequent rebuilding of the structure, safe-keeping of the poultry birds in the interim and loss of idcome for the owner during the dismantling and relocation phase. If alternative land cannot be fpund at a nearby location, the owner may himself need to be relocated along with his business. The owner of this farm has been informed about the acquisition process and been consulted regarding his initial investment, monthly income, number of birds etc, so that adequate and ppropriate mitigation measures may be taken. These are discussed in the latter part of the ahapter.

) Pond: A privately held pond will be partially affected. This is basically a low lying area which ecomes inundated during the monsoon. The owner has built a raised mud boundary to 3urround the pond area. A small portion of 10 decimal area of the 25 decimal pond will be dcquisitioned and the rest 15 decimal portion will be temporarily requisitioned, but sirice the construction will take place during the dry season, the pond may not be in existence at So the likelihood of any impact on the owner through loss of fish etc is very low. The is acquisitioned will however be permanently lost to its owner, one IWr. Abdul

If the poultry farm has to be located far then employees may lose their jobs permanently if they cannot to the new premises.

Those employed as agricultural workers on farm lands to be acquisitioned will also lose their jobs pqrmanently. Special mitigation strategies will have to be put in place for these wage income loters. But at this stage no permanent worker is identified. If identified in the implementation st a ge, they will get a lump sump amount as decided by CDC. d)Rent: 62 Tennant Cultivators and corresponding landowners have been identified in the inventory arid shown in Annexed Table - 5.2. The tenancy arrangement usually varies from season and from locality to locality. Annual rent is 50-50 with input also at 50-50 in % on average. out who ~deland owners of these lands will be the ones losing income from renting out the lands to these tebant farmers and will be the ones entitled to collect compensation for the lost lands but will share with the Tenant any compensation for the standing crop at the time of acquisition and repu~sition..

5.~6 Crops and Tree Losses

The acqu~sitionedland may contain standing crops and trees which will also be lost to the owners albng with the land itself. These crops will have to be measured and valued, as will the trees ajcordin? to their specific typologies and uses, by the DOE. Once the construction work: on the pipeline is complete, people may re-plant crops on these lands but cannot erect any structures or plpnt any trees owing to safety considerations.

~lheofficial of the Dept. of Forest (DOF) usually determine the compensation rates of trees by e$e estimation of the size and type of the trees depending on the prevailing market price.

Ir/ absence of any accepted rate and variation in market value, the price determined by the DOF d~esnot correspond to the replacement cost in terms of fuel wood, timber and fruit value. From r4settlement point of view, the fruit value for successive years is not being currently inclluded in the rates determined by DOF. CDC will assess and establish the replacement cost by market sqrvey of all these elements of size, type, quantity of fuel wood and timber value of trees and in cgse of fruit trees, the quantity of fuel wood, timber and fruit value for at least for 5 years.

517 Impacts from Temporary Requisition of land ! ~/letemporarily requisitioned land, comprising 97.575 hectares will be used during the c$nstruction phase and consequently, upon completion of the construction works, be returned to owners. The requisition area comprises of 6m on one side and 9m on the other side of the pipeline alignment of 8m, running along the 60km length of the pipeline.

~lhetop -soil will have to be stockpiled during construction in order to conserve the fertile layer of toe soil, which must be restored upon completion of construction works.

~iheEPC contractor will be responsible for doing the job as per standard specification contained id their contract with GTCL. This will be supervised and monitored by the ES of the Engineer dbsignate of the project.

Range of Land loss and Percentage of PAP affected 5.8~ 41191 1 PAP will also be affected by land requisition and its impacts, along with the acquisition impacts discussed above. It would appear from Table- 5.6 that most of the PAP (57.74%) will face r A quisition of 0-5% of their lands. 9 PAP will face requisition of 30% and above of their lands; the ir/lpacts faced by them will require additional mitigation.

5.9 Crops and Tree Losses

~hbconstruction works will require heavy transport equipment and building machinery, tools and m terials. The presence of these will require the removal of trees (which translates into a pe1 manent loss) and cause the destruction of standing crops. These have to be accurately evbluated so that they can be adequately compensated for.

PP(P can replant crops, trees and/or erect structures on these lands once they are returned in acpordance with the safety rules and regulations set by the GOB and the Project.

5.q.7 Impacts on PAP Surveyed by Pipeline Segments

~hlepipeline will cross three districts at different locations. The districts ;Ire Narayanganj, ~qnshiganjand Comilla It was found during the survey, consultation and field visits that, aqong different losses for the development interventions, the main impacts are temporary and pelrmanent loss of land (homesteads and agricultural land), structures, crops and trees. lrnpacts on vulnerable people and Severely Affected Households have also been identified.

In order to clearly identify impacts at exact locations, the surveyors divided the pipelinc: route into 12 segments of 5km each. The summary of the segment- wise private land, structu~reand trqe losing PAP is shown in the Table-5.7. The PAP has been divided into the following caiegories:

1) PAP losing Land only: This is the biggest category comprising of 874 PAP who are facing no otter asset loss except the loss of their lands through acquisition and requisition. The highest concentration of such PAP is found in segments 1-5 comprising the first 25 km of the pipeline, w d ich falls in the Muradnagar and Daudkandi Upazilas of Comilla District; a densely populated arka.

PAP losing Land and Structures: Only 6 PAP are losing structures along with their lost land.

3)PAP losing Land, Structure and Trees: 10 PAP are losing all three assets together, and the byrden of loss on them is relatively higher than that on the others.

4)PAP losing Land and Trees: an additional 27 PAP are losing trees along with their land.

~btailsof all the individual losses of PAP are attached in the Annex in the form of an inventory. lnsummary, there are 17 structure losing households and the owner of the poultry farm, when inFluded; they would be losing 18 structures in total. 16 households are losing 17 houses / st/uctures as one family owns 2 houses. In addition, as mentioned above, 1 Poultry farm owner is losing his farm.

5.~11 PAP Losing over 20°/0 of Land

F rther details of PAP HH losing over 20% of Land with Structures & Trees have been idIk ntified in the Table-4.6.1.The table shows that 12 PAP out of the total of 91 1 are losing more th n 20% of their lands permanently due to the acquisition process. The names, plot numbers, lo 1ation of plots etc are given in the table, along with the percentage loss of land he will face. Tt)e information has been presented according to the segment-wise division discussed in the sdction above.

be following can be observed in terms of permanent loss: ~1 m 8 PAP are losing between 20 - 29% of their land m 2 PAP are losing between 30 - 39% of their land I 1 m 2 PAP are losing over 40% of their land, including one PAP who is losing 75% of his i 1 land (the remaining 25% of the latter's land will be requisitioned)

T is defines varying degrees of impacts which have to be dealt with accordingly in terms of nfitigation measures. The baseline study has identified these PAP losing over 30% of their land p rmanently as being severely affected. The soclo-economic profile of these PAP is included in t de previous Chapter. is obvious that the PAP losing 75% of his land will be in a particularly vulnerable position, pecially since the remaining 25% of his land will also be requisitioned temporarily; he will lose house permanently and lose 54 trees.

I CFaytcr-5: 3naCys~scf SaciaClrnyuct?; aurdNitigat ion Options 38 T e PAP losing 40% of his land permanently is an agricultural labourer who is illiterate and e rns TK 5000 per month. His position will become potentially precarious due to the project i pact. It may be observed from the analyses as detailed in the foregoing tables that their - in ome is dependent on the land being lost. The loss of crop yield of their lalid is about 30 kg 1r decimal. But it is expected that they will able to sustain therrlselves following plementation of due livelihood restoration program as recommended in the entitlement matrix d the livelihood restoration strategy. Mitigation measures will therefore deal with the above ses with requisite sensitivity through different assistance strategies.

5.12 Households losing over 30% of their Land

e analysis of the Socio-Economic condition of the Households losing above 30% of their land Idings, and its over all impact on their lively hood may be seen from Table-5.12 and Table-5.13.

0Lt of 4 such Households (all male headed), 2 Households involved in business and service, ve a reasonable outlay of earning now; but one of them (Q # 3024) is losing 75% of his land rmanently and 25% temporarily, along with 54 trees. Another (Q # 400) is losing 33% to aqquisition and 50% to requisition procedures.

e 'two other PAP are both relatively poorer, illiterate and are engaged in menial labor. One # 3080) is losing over 33% of his land to acquisition and another 33% to requisitio~nalong 2 trees, while the other (Plot # 31 39) is losing 40% and 20% respectively.

erefore all of them would be in a vulnerable state due to the impacts of the project. Apart m due compensation payment, special attention is deserved by all of them. This may be in form of cash grant, relocation allowance, employment to them and their wards etc to be as per provision of the GOB rules and the WB OP 4.12.

5113 Female Headed Households

he baseline survey found that out of 91 1 affected households only 5 are female headed. Their litleracy level, occupation and other socio-economic data is presented in the previous Chapter.

he three farmer households in this category are losing a relatively small % of their land to the and none are losing any trees or structures; but these households are barely making and are directly dependent on the lands being lost, for their primary source of severity of impact will be determined based on information about crop yields and they will be able to sell enough of the harvest and yet feed themselves. But will most likely be rendered very vulnerable by the loss of their land, and from the project. These are discussed in the Mitigation section later in

I qliapl e~-~:Analysis o/Socia.l~aclsand.Wif@at-ion Oytions 39 The income status of the household receiving remittances from abroad is relatively better, and thhy are not completely dependent on the lands being lost for their livelihood. Impact will be deltermined based on land use, and whether or not it is a significant contributing source to . household income.

he household head who is a businesswoman is very well to do and well educated in co~mparisonto other locals in the project area. Her household is losing the highest percentage ofland to both acquisition and requisition among the female headed households, but it is not dqpendent on the lands for its primary source of income. No agricultural activity takes place on hqr plot and hence she is not losing any crops or income thereof. Despite being the highest la$d loser in this category, she appears to be better equipped to handle the impacts of the land lo$s in terms of income and savings, than the rest of the female headed households. In this calse simple cash compensation at replacement cost for land should suffice.

5.14 Affected People with income below the Poverty Line

~tesocio -economic baseline study on income of affected people shows that 3 households are fopnd to be below the poverty line and hence should receive special assistance to cope with the pr/oject impacts. Further analysis based on the profiles of the 9 people placed at Table-5.2.16.2 shows that these lower income households termed as Vulnerable PAP are mostly farmers and wbge labourers and are illiterate. Each of them are losing about 5 decimals of land on average except the one losing 14 and another one losing 9 decimals. The income restoration program In luding additional grant and income generating /skill development training will have to be c'B nsidered as appropriate mitigation measures for them.

Atotal of 43 roads will be affected in the total project area by the pipeline crossing over them. his will cause temporary disruptions in road communication for the duration of the cqnstruction. 5 rlver crossings will also be affected by pipeline construction work and navigation in some rivers and khals may be temporarily halted.

For the road closures, river and khal crossings, GTCL will have to seek permission from r$spective authorities following finalization of design of the pipeline sections with exact location of/ the crossing points, dimensions of crossings and tentative schedules etc and such p$rmissions will be obtained on due payment of fees and other charges as asked for by these a4thorities like LGED, BIWTA, RHD and LA section of the district administration etc.

5.1 6 Measures to Mitigate the Project's Social Impacts

Idpacts and the Scope of Resettlement

Bqsed on the socio-economic baseline and the analysis of impacts and taking into c nsideration the consultations with PAP, here is a brief summary of project impacts and what it m'L ans in terms of resettlement:

50.175 hectares of private land and 50,824.000 hectares of public land will be i acquisitioned

97.575 hectares of private land and 95,294.928 hectares of public land will be i requisitioned I 1443 plots owned by 91 1 Households will be affected by the acquisition and requisition 1 of private lands

17 houses and one structure (a poultry farm) will have to be removed from the ROW; part of a private pond will be acquisitioned. Out of these 17 households, those with homes on requisitioned land will have to be shifted to alternative accommodations for the duration of construction and re-building of their houses at the original location. Those with homes on acquisitioned land will have to be shifted to alternative accommodations till their homes are re-built either on any other feasible land holding they may own, or if not, then on alternative land outside the original location.

62 Share Cropper I Tenant Cultivators have also been identified to be affected as per ~I their current seasonal arrangement with their respective land owners. As it appears from ~ Table-5.2., the area of affected plots of the 61 of them ranges between 3-10 decimals ~ while 22 decimal was found to be affected for the rest one during the survey. The loss of paddy in a single season will be 1094790 kg or 1094.79 metric ton and a I number of 561 trees will be cut down in the ROW.

Income loss will occur for the owner of the poultry farm while his business is relocated; for the farmers who lose income from crops destroyed; for the pond owner due to loss of a part of his pond. Wage loss will occur for the employees of these affected businesses I I and agricultural labourers of affected farm lands

Vulnerable groups and those severely affected such as female headed households, I~ those losing over 20% of their lands and those below the poverty line will require special I assistance and livelihood restoration strategies

a 43 public roads, 5 river crossings and a number of khals will be crossed by the pipeline, I I requiring temporary closures and disruptions in normal traffic flow. I

otential impacts on the health and safety of the local people during pre-construction, c1 nstruction as well as post-construction and operation stages of the project have been dvaluated and mitigation measures recommended in the EIA.

3.17 Policies, Regulation and Guidelines

ny construction and extension of gas transmission pipe line including stations facilities of the 'roject proposed to be implemented by GTCL requires strict compliance with laws, rules and qgulations pertinent to the environment and society as set by the GOB.

Si ce the proposed project of GTCL is being financed by WB, the Resettlement Action Plan ( P) has to be prepared as per the TOR of GTCL in addition to the IEE & EIA documents as re uired by the Department of Environment and follow both guidelines of WB in respect of OP 4.01- Environmental? Assessment and more specifically OP 4.12 - Operational Policy on Involuntary Rdsettlement.

Therefore, the legal policy framework and entitlements for the Project are to be based on the na ional law i.e. Acquisition and Requisition of lmmoveable Property Ordinance of 1982 and the W 1rld Bank Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement referred to as OP 4.12. ~hiesehave been discussed in details in Chapter 3.

5-18 Eligibility Criteria for Entitlements

T e eligibility criteria have been prepared as per GOB law and the World Bank resettlement policy OP 4.12. The project-affected households depend on a variety of sources such as fartmland,h tenant farming, wage labor, trading etc. for their livelihood and hence one household mhy rely on more than one means of livelihood. Depending on their losses one household may be eligible for more than one entitlement.

r e eligibility criteria take this into consideration by linking the entitlement to the types of losses -ra 1 her than to the category of project-affected person. Ultimately though, individuals and ho(useholds will be entitled to get compensation proportionate to their losses.

B laws recognize the eligibility of titled holders of land only, as determined by the records of DC's office. Sharecroppers and tenant farmers are also eligible to receive compensation.

OP 4.12 uses land ownership and severity of impact as guides to determine eligibility for entitlements. Land ownership includes title, customary and traditional rights, as and informal contractual rights. Therefore in addition to land owners, renters, and employees are also eligible for relocation and assistance, and wages

S verity of impact depends on percentage of land lost, whether relocation of residence or b siness occurs, or if significant loss of income and livelihood takes place. The type of o nership claim in combination with severity of impact determines the relevant resettlement e1 titlements. 5.11 9 Entitlement Package

5.19.1 For permanent loss of farmland

PAP affected by permanent loss of farmland are entitled for a compensation package equate to buy an equal area of replacement land according to the produ~ctivityof his land ged by averaging last three year's production, based on market prices. This package in addition to the compensation under the land acquisition Act, a cash grant to meet. difference between the compensation and the replacement cost of an equivalent area of lapd. All standing crops and trees will be compensated for following DOE evaluations.

5.i79.2 For permanent loss of residential and commercial land

AP affected by permanent loss of residential and commercial land will similarly be entitled to r ceive replacement cost of their lost assets. Such PAP will not be evicted from their place of r sidence until they arrange their replacement homesteads or until their compensation claim is s1 ttled through negotiation.

I ~bapter-5:Analysis of SociaCIrnpacts andMitigation Options 43 5.79.3 For temporary loss of land

In ase of requisition, the entitlement for compensation is based on the productivity of the land (ju ged by averaging last three year's production) or its current utility, paid as rental charges for th land along with compensation for cropltree loss. In addition, contractors will be bound to rei tore land to its original state, including restoration of common property resources affected. 5.19.4 For loss of Residential and Commercial Structures

E titlement of PAP affected by loss of residential structures for temporary shifting, house1 st! ucture construction grant to make up for replacement cost of structures, all salvageable rn terials from their old structure(s) and assistance in shifting and re-installation. This will be donea as per market price prevailing at that time. 5. 19.5 For loss of income from shifting of businesses B siness owners will be entitled to receive cash grants equivalent to the income helshe would h 4ve made for the time period between dismantling his business and making it operational agiain.

I Further Mitigation Matters

5.41.1 Route Selection to minimize Impacts

G~CLemployed the services the National Survey Organization (NSO) prior to the mencement of surveys by BETS, to finalize the route alignment. The Right of Way (ROW) 8m along the central alignment to be permanently acquired, an~d the temporary area of 9m on one side and 6m on the other side of the central pipeline alignment.

N 0 studied three options before finalizing the route based on technical criteria, environmental an,dS social considerations. This was done by surveying the entire ROW and surrounding areas to how many plots, houses and structures would fall in the path of the pipeline route, how roads and river crossings would be affected etc, so as to minimize impacts a-a f ar as

I ~dag~hr-5:Analysis of SocialImpacls andMitigation Options 46 5.2,I.ZCash Compensation

Co pensation for all acquisitioned land will be made following GOB rules and in accordance with the;b policy requirements of WB OP 4.12. The GOB rules allow for cash compensation based on the registered land price at the DC's office, plus an additional 50% premium to bridge the gap be$veen the registered price and the market value as determined by the DC.

Th WB OP4.12 requirement is ,that compensation for all losses has to be made at replacement co t i.e. the cost at which a similar asset can be purchased in the same locality, or at a nearby or alt f rnative location at current market prices, determined through the market survey conducted by the/ consultant responsible for the RAP. The difference between the GOB rates and replacement co$t will be made up by the project.

5.21.3 Economic Viability of Residual Land after Acquisition

In ase of acquisition, care must be taken to see whether the residual land left to the owner is ec f nomically viable or not; if not, the project will have to treat the entire land holding as achuisitioned and make compensation provisions accordingly.

-rHe 4 female headed households assessed as vulnerable in the baseline study; 5 PAP losing ov r 30% of their lands of whom 1 is losing 75% permanently; 9 households below the poverty lin I will need extra assistance to at least restore their livelihoods to pre-project levels, if not beltter through specially targeted livelihood restoration strategies.

~liernativetraining, skill development, job opportunities etc are some mitigation components id$ntified by PAP during the consultation sessions apart from cash compensation.

5.k2 Livelihood Restoration Program

T e livelihood of the affected persons should be better if possible. At least the previous e onomic status is to be maintained. So the RP has been designed in such a way that the a ected person's economic condition will be much better. This is based on the strategy di termined on the findings of consultations, impacts and as thought applicable in a practical sdtting and taking the World Bank policy of resettlement into consideration.

~qreemonths income restoration grant will be provided for income loser on the other hand for training and micro-credit will be provided by NGO, if engaged by GTCL or they would any alternative for the same. The authority, i.e. GTCL will engage affected persons in work, if possible.

The plan for awareness program and market-oriented training for economic development of the aPected persons shall have to be made as well. The authority may also provide a revolving C1iapte.r-5:Analysis ofSociall.mpacts and:Mitzgation Options 47 fund in support of the commercial bank(s) in the area for credit program. So, it may be expected that their economic condition will not be deteriorated.

s of land will be compensated at replacement cost. A cash grant will be provided to account difference between the compensation provided under the Acquisition and Requisition of lm~movableProperty Ordinance (ARIPO) and the replacement value. The replacement value will be based on the market value determined through a land market survey by the ~dm~ensationDetermination Committee (CDC).

L ss of structures will be compensated in accordance with the compensation provided under th$ ARlPO plus a house construction grant amount determined by CDC based on market price dcjring implementation period.

P losing wage labour or employment will be provided a one-time maintenance grant of on wage rate at the implementation period per day for 90 days and will be provided training. Preference will also be provided to PAP in engaging labour for subproject Compensation for other categories of losses is identified in the entitlement matrix.

P P who are without definite means of livelihood are entitled to vocational training. The pr grams are specifically aimed at landless households, wage labourers and sharecroppers ai*P ected by the project. Long-term training (2-6 months) will be provided on motor mechanics, driving, rickshaw assembly and repair, secretarial skills1 word processing, plumbing, ellectrical and metal works, and manufacturing of rural sanitary equipment.

S ort-term (3-5days) skills training for those engaged in low-skill activities nrill be provided in fi heries, animal husbandry, vegetable cultivation and crop diversification, low-cost house s pplementary income generating activities will also be provided to target groups such as w men on plant nurseries, tailoring and handicrafts, bee keeping, and homestead gardening. S ills training will also be provided for women on community health and hygiene, family welfare. Thesei vocational training packages may be contracted out to nongovernmental organizations bithe GTCL

her than above measures the following entrepreneurs programme may be taken:

a) training could be provided to diversify crop production to higher value agricultural products, on methods to maximize agricultural productivity without damaging tlie soil; skill development for aquaculture etc b) Packaging and storage skills can be enhanced, and the project authorities could help identify and develop links to wholesalers andlor supermarkets in the cities selling fresh vegetables etc. c) help in building links with micro-finance and SME development facilities, investing in a small business and provided with some business development services, d) give simple banking advice on how to save better

5.28 Measures to mitigate Disruptions to Roads, Rivers and Khals

The pipeline design and route finalization carefully avoided any major roads so that disruptions in c mmunication could be minimized as far as possible. It was also ensured that no major mar 1et place, school/college, medical facility, mosque or temple will be made inaccessiblle by the broject at any time.

~odever43 minor roads and 5 river crossings along with several khals will face temporary closures. The construction work is not estimated to take too long, and hence none of these will be Aosed for long. Further, reinstatement, erosion protection works, alternate thoroughfare provision required thereof to mitigate the public inconveniences and restoration of damages will be iicluded in the tender doc of the EPC contractors.

I people will be warned much ahead of project implementation about which roads, river and khals will be temporarily closed and for how long, and also about alterriative made by the project, so that they can plan their activities accordingly.

st-Boring Method (TBM) will be practiced for the Highway and major road crossings. In r to avoid disruption to navigation, fishery and other aquatic resources, Horizontal Drilling (HDD) will be used across these major river crossings.

Kh Is: Usually a strip of 8 meter across the respective width of the Khals has to be a anently acquisitioned from GOB land through DC's LA section for laying the pipeline. No is usually required (subject to confirmation by DC's LA section) since khals through open cut method and subsequently the banks & the bottom of the khals after pipe lying across the same is over.

Rivers: Usually a strip of 8 meter wide and 60meter long pieces of land on average in both balks of the river is acquisitioned from GOB land through DC's LA section for lying of pipe line. Adqitionally, another strip of 50 meter wide and 100 meter long piece of land in the other bank of tlhe river is requisitioned from GOBIprivate land through DC's LA section at the resplective riv r crossing sites to facilitate storage of equipment and operation of HDD rigs. A pond of 15 X'IOmX2.5 m size is required for storage 1 disposal of drilling fluid which are water based mu$ and as such bio-degradable. Such ponds are dug in the additionally requisitioned area for eadh crossing site.

lrri ation Schemes: In practice, alternative arrangements of water flow for the limited period of pip 1lying across the Irrigation schemes to encounter are managed by the EPC contractor as e are done as part of their job and hardly any additional 1 separate lalnd acquisition 1 are required for the same.

Ma n Road No separate land acquisition / requisition are usually required for main Road cro sings except taking permission from R & H authorities on paying requisite fees /lease am unt for same. This is also because the Thrust Boring Machine operation is conducted in on side of the road on the acquisitioned 1 requisitioned land and subsequently reinstated as in re-project condition. This is done by the EPC contractor as part of their job under the co 1tract with GTCL. Ru al Roads Same is the case w~thregional rural roads which are done using TBM except that the1 permissions are to be obtained from LGED authorities. Similarly, minor roads of local I ad inistration / LGED are crossed through open cut method and provision of the alternative pathwaysr and subsequent reinstatements are the part of the job of the EPC contractor. e: Table-9.3: Management Actions and Responsibilities placed at EIA (ESIA Vol.-I) doc on be referred to for further details on the potential impacts, enhancement1 measures, management actions & executive responsibilities on this and other of the project.

~hbpter-5:analysis of Sociallrnpact-s andNitigation Options PUBLIC CONSULTAT1ON AND DISCLOSURE PUBLICC ONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE

6.1 Rationale and Objectives of Public Consultation

WB OP 4.12 requires meaningful consultation with affected people so that they can be given opportunities to participate in the project planning and implementation of the resettlement plan. Participation of the affected people is important because resettlement, at least in part, is dependent on their responsiveness.

In a densely populated country like Bangladesh, land is a scarce resource for people, and often their main asset holding. The project proposes the acquisition 50.175 hectares of private land and requisition of a further 97.575 hectares in the project area. Most of these lands comprise of paddy fields and farmland, but the pipeline will also cross some heavily populated areas on the alignment resulting in the occurrence of involuntary displacement of some households and businesses too. Heavy transport and building equipment will be used during the construction phase which could prove hazardous to the safety of local people. Also, some public roads, river crossings and khals would face temporary closures due to construction works and could disrupt transport and communication for people in the impact area.

Hence, consultation with the affected people is essential in order to inform them of the project scope and expected impacts, allay all fears regarding loss of assets with adequate information about compensation at replacement costs, garner their feed back about resettl,ement options placed before them and incorporate their suggestions and recommendations in the RAP.

1 The consultation also aims at getting feed back from affected people about livelihood 1 restoration strategies aside from cash compensation, to bring income levels and living I standards of vulnerable and severely affected households back to at least pre-project levels, if not better.

1 The consultative process will have to be a continuing one, embedded through the project I implementation, grievance mechanism and Monitoring and Evaluation procedures.

I 1 6.2 The Consultation Strategy

The consultations were carried out in two stages, the first during the initial surveys done in June -July 2007. and the second done during the detailed baseline surveys in late December 2007 - mid January 2008. The consultat~on strategy in phase1 focused on a randomly selected sample of 80 households, and ~nvolvedseveral Focus Group Discussions with the affected people in that sample. In stage 2, consultations were held on a one to one basis with each of the 911 PAPS 1 at the~rplaces of residence during the individual questionna~resurveys conducted for baseline date. It may be stated here that, no formal FGD were conducted in the second phase of study and instead ~nformalconsultation and individual contacts were continued with the key I I stakeholders.

During the discussions, the major concerns expressed were the issues of prloper codpensation, and income restoration policy for all affected people and has been placed in I

I I I Chapter-G:;r-'ubCic Consult at ion and'DiscCosure 51 the report. Public participation in ascertaining the process of planning and implementation including grievance redress mechanisms were also given special attention.

A summary of the public consultation conducted in both phases is presented in Table-6.2.1 below where from it can be observed that a total 967 persons have directly participated in the process excluding the number of occasional participants comprising Senior offi~cialsof GTCL, WBand the specialists of the Consultant Team on different dates.

Consultation in the second phase was informal. Individual contacts with the affected persons and key informants were made through questionnaire and open consultation where specialist members of BETS team and senior officials of GTCL were occasionally present and discussed with the PAP and the key stakeholders.

Phase - I: Focus Group Discussions Focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted at 9 different areas along the transmission pipeline right of way (ROW) and at valve station sites. During these meetings, representative(s) of GTCL, BETS and local government authorities were present to discuss project impacts, and exchange views on concerns mitigation, compensation and livelihood restoration with the affected people.

Summary of the suggestions and cornments of PAP regarding acquisition and requisition including livelihood restoration as recorded during formal and informal consu~ltationsare as follows: > PAP Requested that: Proper compensation has to be given. Opportunity should be given to use gas as a fuel in the industries. Some of them wanted rehabilitation. Gas has to be provided in these localities for burning as a fuel. Gas price has to be reduced. - Shall co-operate if they are either properly compensated or secure good advantages. i Comments: Thope persons will be exclusively losers, whose housing will be damaged by thje gas pipe line conftruction. But other than them, none of the locality will be affected by the gas line. - Chapter-6: 7-'~16CicConsullation and~isclosure 52 .?&retthment dctio7z 3'Lan of %aRA~n6ad~iddhi~gn~ziGm f~nrmIj.rioz ;Dipe&ne F~oiect

Price of land will increase with gas line passing through.

The~rewill be no disadvantage

It will generate employment opportunity for the local people.

Gag line is needed for the development of the country. Economic problem may be solvecl by availing this opportunity.

There may be temporary loss in laying the line but this will bring in more benefit.

Gas line is a development work of the country. This will help improving social & econcrmic conditions.

Gas line will be of advantage to the local people. There will not be any disadvantage

Setting up of industries will help solving employment problem. Gas will create employment opportunities for the people.

3 Suqqestions:

Leveling and filling of the undulated ground has to be done after the laying of the gas line. Work has to progress so that no accident happens in future.

3 , Suggestions for livelihood restoration:

The requiring body should pay all sorts of additional grant timely at the replacement cost considering market price and inflation effect at the time of implementation period.

Income oriented training should be arranged for the vulnerable affected

Efficient NGO is to be engaged for payment without harassment

Affected should have access in job facilities. PAP should be given humanitarian support specially of vulnerable.

All problems should be solved amicably.

GTCL should have proper help in getting compensation from DC office.

Open discussions were made following the dissemination of all relevant project information to the PAP regarding the potential positive and negative impacts and how these would a.ffect them.

The presentation posed different alternatives for resettlement and mitigation options; it also disaussed the importance of livelihood strategies in restoring income levels and avoiding lan~lessnessafter the land acquisition process is complete.

Thq people's perceptions and feed back were then recorded by the BETS representatives for incqrporation in the RAP via design of the mitigation strategies and the livelihc~odrestoration codponent of the entitlement package. Reretthme?zt Action ?h?z of

Thd participants in these consultation meetings were the land and house owners and available cross section of the local people along the pipeline sites. Table-6.2.2 through 6.2.10 in the Appendix reveals the detailed numbers and composition of the participants in the ind~vidualmeetings.

'These meetings were held at 9 different places of the 3 districts along the pipeline alignrnent where in 65 affected and local people were consulted. One member from GTCL and a 5 member team from BETS presided over the information dissemination and following participative discussions.

Main Findings of the Consultations in Phase I

The salient features of the opinions expressed by the affected people from a wide variety of professions and socio-economic backgrounds have divulged that in general the PAPS are concerned with due cash compensation and rehabilitation of businesses and income sources whgrever any damage is done.

oft of the affected people perceived the laying of the pipeline as a development work for the cou~ntry.They were also aware of the, by and large, temporary nature of impact:;. Oth~erconcerns besides timely and adequate compensation revolved around timely return of reqbisitioned land after restoration of soillland condition, and avoidance of any accidents durihg the construction phase.

Phase 2: One to One Consultations with Project Affected People

Sin~ethe entire pipeline alignment could not be covered during the monsoon season, direct ond to one consultation with each of the 911 PAP were held at their houses during the questionnaire survey conducted in the dry season of January, 2008. This comprised the secpnd stage in the consultation process.

Thi$ time, members of the survey team informed the PAP about the project impacts, explained the compensation process and asked for their views and suggestions regarding land acqluisition and requisition procedures and mitigation options. These were recorded as qireries and responses in the questionnaire itself along with all the socio-economic baseline infdrmation. The PAP were then appraised of compensation at replacement cost, livelit-~ood restoration strategies applicable to their individual baseline scenarios and their suggestions regarding the latter. This strategy helped make the consultations targeted and tailored to the needs, understanding and socio-economic situation of each PAP.

A summary of such meetings has been placed at Table: 6.2.3 where in a total of 998 persons weie present including all of the Land, House & Tree Owner 911 PAP in presence of 38 focus group and local people covering the entire plots of all the mouzas along the pipeline route. It may be noted that the total figure constitutes presence of 38 local elites during tjiscussion with conlcerned PAP at respective sites and the presence of 16 plus 36 i.e. 52 from GTCL/ NSO & BETS professionals respectively ( presence of same person of these 52 persons were some t~m$srepetitive as per convenience and availability).

6.3 Comments of Female Headed, Vulnerable and Severely Affected Househollds he female headed households said that they have no proper knowledge about the land documents. So collecting money from DC office would be very difficult for them They have no malie member for colleting money. So, they need special support from GTCL in getting coqpensation. They should be given money including relevant grants at their home. In addition, they would also need additional support during transitional period. Some income oridnted training and capital support will help them in their need for income restoration. Clther PAY categorized as vulnerable and severely affected ones also voiced similar expectations and preferred reaching the compensation amount to their home, with additional grants and probiding them income generating support. 6.4 Discussions Relating to Public Property

Acqording to the present alignment of the pipe line, some public land under the rivers, klials, river banks and some roads are to be affected by the project with temporary closures and disruptions in traffic and irrigation water flow. This will create problems in turn for the local community to move around in those particular areas and irrigating their crop fields for a given period of time. Alternatives for access roads and irrigation canals will have to be arranged immediately for mitigating the inconvenience.

BETS have had no discussion with any of the government bodies for the above public properties. When enquired during discussions with GTCL on this issue, they informed that, GTCL will do this as and when preparation of their design & documentations are completed as req,uired by the respective government bodies and as per usual practice applied in executing sirqilar projects in the past, they are already in the process of initiating consultation with and asking for approval from these bodies soon. In their opinion, as experienced in the past, these should be promptly available in view of requirement of scheduled execution 8~completicrn of this priority project of national importance.

During the consultations in Stage 2, PAPs were told which roads and rivers etc would be affected with temporary closures. They were informed that the duration of the disruption would be Short and that GTCL would bear the responslb~lityof restoring the roads, river crossings to their pre-project states within the st~pulatedtime Advance notifcation would be given to all local people along with information about alternative access routes developed by the project for the interim period of the disruptions. Similar alternative mitigation arrangement will be made for allowing unhindered flow of water in the irrigation canals encountered, if any, during execution of the project

6.5 Response to Proposed Gas Pipeline

The consultations revealed that none of the 911 PAP are opposed to the e:tecution of the project, but 548 PAPs have given their consent conditionally, depending upon adequate compensation and income restoration with particular emphasis on finding jobs.

2 FAPs wanted alternative approaches to the project. This was because normally DC office needs long time for payment of corr~pensationmoney in terms of Cash C:ompensation under the law or CCL. Due to not being consciousness enough, the land documents of the PAP, in most case do not remain up-to-date in the rural areas. So in some cases, even though PAP are genuine land losers, they do not get payment, Also, due to these bottlenecks, their payments remain held up years after years.

Further, DC's LA section usually disburse payment in their offices. It is not cost effective for PAPs due to transport cost, time and wage loss and harassments. Mallpractices are also a regular scene leading to hampering the resettlement ideas, timely payment of compensation and sometime causing public agitation.

So, there should be arrangement that, in such cases DC's LA section will come to the res~pectivevillages. With support of UP / Upazila Administration, local elites, religious leaders and NGO , they w~llconduct due hearing, record evidences from proper withesses, and then make payment of the compensation money immediately to the PAP through AIC payee cheque Alternative suggestions in this case would mean sydtem should be made easy for all payments within a cut off period.

The summary of the different types of unconditional I conditional response to acquisition1 reqpisition received from the PAP is given below in Table-6.2.5.

~a$le-6.2.5: Different Types of Unconditional I Conditional Response to Acquisiltionl Requisition Received from Land and Structure losing PAP Agreed Proper yithoutany Payment in Cash Conditions Condition Bank 1 the loss

363 PAP have expressed their positive response to the project agreeing without any condition. It dloesn't mean without price or compensation. It means, they are ready to comply with the gouernment plan for the pipeline construction and they would accept the compensation as per gouernment laws and previous practice applied to others projects in the country and will not raising any new condition.

It iiapparent that the majority is concerned with compensation in cash. It may be noted here that, since rural people are normally illiterate, they sometimes do not articulate the idea exqctly. In cash meant by them that the compensation money is to be given without harbssment at the door point of PAP. But as per practice of resettlement for the betterment of theiilliterate rural people, weight should be given to the inner meaning and they should be compensation money at the door step through crossed cheque. This is because, cash mohey is likely to be snatched away, lost and may be utilized in a unwanted manner or coflsumed.

49 PAP have asked for land for land compensation, in recognition of the fact that it is very difficult to find alternative land in the area even with fair replacement costs received as corfipensation. The details of the 5 km segment wise list of plots of the 49 PAP requeste~dfor corhpensation in the form of land for land is placed in Table- 6.3.3 in the Annex. I Ottier conditions cited by the 18 Households losing a combination of land, trees and structures is dlaced in Table-6.4.17.H is apparent from this table that 6 of these relatively more hard-hit PAPS have cited finding a job as a higher priority than cash compensation. This is an imdortant factor to consider when designing livelihood strategies; people losing more than just land are relatively more worried about sustaining their livelihoods than just getting cash in hand. The suggestion of homestead for homestead will be followed through with provision of cost for houses and structures, all moving, packing, unpacking and re-installation to rent for alternative accommodation for the interim period.

s he Consultations made it clear that besides swift completion of all compensation procetlures in ~ompliancewith GOB and WB Policies, livelihood restoration will also be required for the vulnerable and severely affected households through special assistance, job opportunities in thg project itself or outside, along with training and skill development.

~hbgrievance redress mechanism must be established with adequate reprlesentation from P~PSand other local stakeholders; they must also have a voice in project implernentation to see that the resettlement aims of the RAP are being fulfilled.

6.8 Disclosure

6.6.1 Information Campaign

Ths implementation of the resettlement program will start with a public campaign to explain the resettlement policy and plan to PAP, and to solicit their cooperation. The following actions will be carried out for the information campaign:

A booklet explaining the resettlement ent~tlementpolicy, procedures and the program in sinhple language will be prepared by the Project Management and widely distribute in the areas affected by the project. The booklet will also explain what the PAP are expected to do to avail their entitlement.

GTCL will also arrange issuance of a brochure to be distributed to all PAP giving a quick ov$rview of the construction process and where and to who people should go if they have isshes 1 grievances.

In addition project authority will start a web site describing highlighted issue of RAP and prdgress reph of RAP implementation for transparency and information dissemination of the cohcerned stakeholders.

PAP will be asked to register their names with RU. Field workers will hold meetings in affected villbges to explain the policy and plan to the PAP.

~hpter-6:Pubfic Consultation and'UiscCosure 59 CDC and1 or NGOI Field workers attached to RU will hold series of meetings in the affected lvillages to explain the resettlement program and to answer people's queries regardibg the program.

RU w~llbe formed and staff will be trained by GTCL as advised by the Resettlement Specialist (RS). Required number of field workers will be recruited by implementing agency1 NGO associated for implementing the resettlement program and will be trained in resettlement related activities.

Each affected household will be given a "Household file" containing details of their entitlement. Field workers will contact every affected household to provide information regarding specific entitlement to each household, to distribute "Household file" and to verify the correctness of information contained in the household f~les.

Information about the grievance redress mechanism will also be contained in the "House File" and the PAP will be assisted by the field workers for having a clear understanding of same and getting their grievances, if any duly and promptly redressed as far as practicable at sides.

The Project Management will seek the assistance of village leaders, religious leadlers and other influential persons for participation in making the resettlement program a success.

7.1 Objectives of the RAP

The basic objectives of the RAP are: a) To devise a plan of action to operationalize all the mitigation measures d~~scussed*irithe previous Chapter, based on the findings of the socio-economic baseline study, identified affected people and all the impacts upon them, taking into consideration their views and recommendations found during the consultations with them. b) , The RAP will provide the definition of eligibility criteria for compensation recipients and articulate the compensation entitlements for them in accordance with both GOB Policies and WB OP 4.12. c) This has to be done in close co-ordination with the implementing agency, to spell out all organizational arrangements and define the functional administrative units and struci.ures that will make the plan operational. d) It will also set up a grievance redress mechanism and a monitoring and eva~luationplan. e) It will have to conduct a market survey and get assessment of the prevailing market prices of the assets that would be impacted by the project including relocation, replacement & restoration costs etc for bringing back to pre-project conditions and prepare estimated budget for implementation of RAP.

7.2 Organizational Structure

7.2.I Existing Organizational Set- Up of GTCL

The current Organizational Set- Up of GTCL is shown in Figure- 7.1. It would appear from this settup that the Project Director BKB-SG Project (PD) will have a Project Implementation Tehm (PMT) and the Environmental Specialist (ES) of the Owner's Engineer with responsib~litiesso far as project activities relating to execution, supervision of works of the EPC Contractor & reporting issues are concerned which includes implementatioln of ~e$ettlementAction Plan as well.

7.2.4 Technical Support Provided by the Resettlement Specialist -The technical support for the process with appropriate tools and techniques needed for social imipact management and implementation of RAP will be provided by the RS to the PM'T. In facilitating the same, , the RS will be having Field Resettlement Unit (FRU) based in HQISites. Cqncerned staff of the FRU will be located at Field Offices at suitable locations of ROVV for the works on implementation, management and monitoring of RAP and will be keeping in cantact with the project affected persons, local elites and seriously affectedl, vulnerable & women households including owners of public properties.

Sipultaneously, the RS will provide guidance to and receive feed backs from the 2 C~mmitteesviz.: Compensation Determination Committee (CDC) on performing strategic activities like reviewing un~trates of compensation at market prices and quantitative aspects of lo$ses and payments and the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) will perform the conflict arld grievance redress activities to pave the way for compensation payment process to go smoothly. 7.P.5 Position & Function of RS Cell and its Links with GTCL Organizational Set - Up The position of Resettlement Specialist Cell in PMT and its links with GTCL. Organizational Set - Up (GOSU) mostly relates to advisory services to the Project Director through PM'T with due coordination, management, monitoring and reporting functions in the RAP implementation prpgram. As such he w~llhave direct interaction with the FRU and the CDC GRC including cl~secontact with the ES who will be simultaneously looking after the activities of EPC contractor and the RAP implementation process as would be delegated by the Owner' Engineer. 7.3 Reporting Structure

7.13.1 Reporting Structure for RS Cell

GTCL has chosen an interactive reporting strategy for the RAP implementation progr-CI~ as ddpicted in Figure-7.2. In fact, the RS Cell along with the FRU working under it nrill be reporting to the PMT who in turn will be responsible to PD for due implementation of RAP. FRU act~vitiesin support of CDC and that of GRC will proceed simultaneously for smooth ex,ecution of the pipeline project activities by the EPC contractor. For preparing the monthly and other reports they will be obtaining information on progress of activities of the CDC & GRC.

7.3.2 Reporting Structure for GTCL / PMT Unit Responsible for lmpleme~ntationof RAP It would appear from Figure-7.2 and Figure - 7.3 that PMT unit of GTCL is responsible for the management of project activities as well as for implementation of RAP. They are reporting to PO who, at the same time, having another arm for project control through the services (of the Oyner's Engineer and its delegated representative i.e. ES to be responsible for im~plementationand monitoring of RAP. PD in turn is reporting to the GTCL Managing Director and as such, to the Management of GTCL. 7.3.3 Functions RS Cell In respect of the functions to be performed by the RS Cell, the indication of the basic structure for TOR of the RS Cell and the composition of the Cell itself with the number of field units and professional profile of the over all FRU has been provided in the organizational set-up (of the RAP Implementation and Grievance Redress Mechanism at Figure-7.2.

fie main tasks of the RS and the FRU for RAP Implementation would be to perform overall plbnning, implementation and monitoring of the resettlement program.

Design and set up necessary offices, logistics and computer facilities. - Ensure that all PAP are identified and provided with their respective entitlement according to the resettlement policy. = Ensure timely acquisition of lands by the district administration and paymlent of compensation as per GOB rules & WB OP 4.12 provisions prior to construction. = Ensure formation of CDC & GRC and make those operational. Monitor the effectiveness of entitlement packages and propose modifica'tilon, to Project Management Team / PD, when necessary. = Prepare Term of Reference for implementing agencies, if any, that are to execute specified components of resettlement program including selection and appointment of implementing agencies and monitor their progress. Prepare and submit monthly, quarterly and other progress reports to Project Management. Study and monitor unforeseen adverse impacts during and after constr~uction works. = Liaise with other governmental, WB and non-governmental agencies in the country on matters of mutual interest related to resettlement. Prepare detail Organogram of the FRU keeping on view ,that dur~~ngthe period of resettlement implementation, most of the staff will be deployed in the field. Arrange provision of senior / manger level posting to be based in the field for the full duration of the resettlement works to liaison between the field and Head Quarters and to provide due support to GRM to function satisfactorily. Preference may be given to recruit field workers from the project area to assist in village level implementation of RAP. Selection of site and establishment of one or two field offices preferably be at Comilla & Munshiganj with sub offices / camps at Murad Nagar & Narayanganj are to be made. = The field staff will have to be provided with necessary vehicles and other transport facilities. The field offices will be adequately equipped to support all activities of the CDC and GRC efficiently & efficiently.

Recruitment, training and deployment of FRU staff will be materialized with specific job ddscription and it would be done by internal arrangement of the GTCL.

7.6 Procedures for the Cases of Damages to PAP not Identified in Initial Rap TQe process of identification and handling of the cases of damages to PAP not identified in initial RAP would largely depend on due evaluation and continuous monitoring of the RAP iqplementation program. The RS will designate a senior officer of the FRU at the local level to consider any grievance of PAP as to identify and assess the quantum of dalmage which was not covered in the initial RAP. On recommendation about the authenticity of sqch cases, RS in consultation with the CDC will arrange for inclusion of the case (s) in thb list for due compensation to the concerned PAP. Similar process woulld apply for any lo s or damage to the public properties as well. If the aggrieved PAP is not satisfied with thf decision on the compensation package or otherwise, appeal could ble made by the PAP to the Grievance Redress Committee for further review and actions.

7. f.7 Estimated Budget

Prbper budget allocation is very important for the implement the RAP activities. This is required for pqyment of compensation, grant, dispensing cost of activities of the implementing agency and that of the activities for income restoration of the PAP. Appropriate budget allocation will have to be prpvided. An estimated budget based on market values for RAP implementation is given in T'able- 7.4. The process of determination of market values for land, trees, structures, crops and cdnstruction materials involved market survey, consultation and verification with the affected and nun-affected persons, knowledgeable local elites during FFGD, different GOB and private adencies in and around the project sites and the traders of respective construction materials in the ncjarby townships of Comilla, Narrayangonj & Munshiganj and a developer in Dhaka. -Certain inlormation on market values has also been provided by NSO of GTCL.

7.4.3 Miscellaneous Considerations for Estimated Budget.

Thp process of consultation has provided options for livelihood restoration and strategies f~r its implementation. The salient feature of the PAP expectations as outlined in the report has to be considered during execution of the project. Particularly SAH and the vulnerable group inqluding female headed HH requiring enhanced assistance as per WB OP 4.12 shall loe of prilne attention. ~hbu~hdue attention was given to obtain both official and prevailing market values against thq values claimed by the PAP and verified through the field survey so conducted particularly for those assets and commodities for which a compensation package IS envisioned, yet it is prqsumed that further efforts would be required for finalizing the actual inventory and updated price to be considered for the payment of compensation1 grant Ialiowances package for the PA/P including for those, if any, which could not be identified during this initial IRAP. ~u/ther,the consultative process will have to be continued with due disclosure of the project acqivities aimed at and its probable impact on the socio-economic conditions of the PAP.: Siqilarly, interventions on the surrounding community and public infrastructures would call forconsultation with them as well to ensure their due participation in taking remedial steps. cost of community and public compensation1 reinstatement is not included in the afprementioned budget and would be separately estimated by GTCL following finalization of thb design of the pipeline system to be executed by the EPC contractor.

7.p Timetable 7.)8.7 Implementation of RAP and Compensation Payment Schedule lnorder to ensure timeliness and compliance with RAP, the land acquisition, imlplementation of RhP and the award of the pipeline Icivil works will be integrated into one schedule. The LA prbcess will commence with the engineering design of the pipeline Icivil workls regarding the prpject. Consultation and information campaign may continue as per RAP and GTCL has to intitiate the process to resume immediately.

7.~8.2 Proposed Scheduie of implementation

Tqe project activities are usually divided into a pre-construction phase, a construction phase, aqd an operation and maintenance phase. GTCL is already in execution of the project since Jc/ly, 2007 and working for corr~pletingit by June, 2010. Accordingly, the lmplementatio~nand C$mpensation Payment Schedule of RAP has been prepared and is shown in Figure-7.5;. The cdmmencement and completion of same may be adjusted and commensurate with practical iniplementation time schedule of the respective items of the project.

Qince there are evidences that DC cannot ensure due payments for various bz anti legal biarriers, the cut off dates has to be the set on the date of start of civil works and outstanding playment, if any, will be ensured on the spot by DCI GTCL at least 3 months before cut off d~atewith support from Union Council, Upazila Administration, designated NGO 8 local ~llites. quch situation may arise due to the inability of the illiterate & vulnerable PAP, complexity of lind law etc. qince there are innumerable examples that 100 Oh payment could not be made for long years wen after completion of different projects, it is suggested that GTCL will ir~itia~teGOB approval d gazette notification with vetting from low ministry for taking the aforementioned steps ,and as s~uch,complying with the requirement of WB.

8.b Conclusions and Recommendations

8.h Conclusion

~deBakhrabad -Siddhirganj 1000 PSlG 30 inch diameter 60 km Gas Transmission Pipe Line P A oject is considered to be a feasible project examined from both social and environmental pc/ints of view. Acquisition & requisition of land being on small strip alignment through out the ropte with 5 Valve Stations on the route and 2 small block lands at Ibleghnadhat & Siddhirganj, thk general conclusion of the study and preparing this Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) report is that no significant negative social impact will be produced by the project interventio~nsso lohg as due mitigation measures and resettlement actions are taken as per the! Plan.

It pay be stated here that, the process of consultation has provided options for payment of cqmpensation strategies for its irrlplementation and has been reflected in the reporl: with sdecia~attention to severely affected and vulnerable groups. However, Ihe consultative prbcess should continue before and during execution of the project in order to stay with an adequate and reasonable compensation package figures in pursuance to GOB rules and WB 0p 412 provisions as applicable.

It bas been observed that, acquisition under this project is not of a bulk nature. Landlessness, utjemployment, homelessness, marginalization, morbidity, food insecurity, loss of access to cdlrnmon property resources and social disarticulation are not much in prevalence along the stdip alignment as envisaged except a few female headed households, some vulnerable PAP lo$ing over 20% & 30 % of their land, possible displacement of 17 privately owning hduseholds, 561 trees and about 62 renting cultivators and their land owners and one poultry farm among the 911 PAP along pipeline alignment. Adequate compensation has been prbposed for them in the mitigation plans. The public roads, streams / canals and banks (of the riqers as affected by the project have been well identified and due mitigation measures have al$o been proposed for the same.

H wever, monitoring and evaluation of each task to be performed is essential for the success oftheP RAP. The Monitoring and Evaluation has to be addressed at two levels specifically coinformlng to WB policy guidelines: OP 4.12 as follows:

I. monitor timely payment of compensation; I I 11. monitor the effectiveness of compensation and livelihood restor,ationin I achieving the goals of the resettlement policy.

M nltoring aspects will also contain elements of due reinstatement, restoration and protection +. of publ~c & community infrastructures affected by the project. In this perspective, esltablishment of an effective and fully operational MIS system would be esser~tiallyrequired in carrying out the task of monitoring and evaluation and to sustain monitoring and evaluation ef orts. JI ~i/a~ter-d:Conclusions 62 ilecommendation 75 I ' fine, the RAP implementation tasks usually begin as soon as the land plans, especially the p1 ot schedules, are finalized and the acquisition locations are demarcated on the ground. Since qTCL has already completed this part of the project, it may start reviewing further actions to be tdken in this regard, and this will involve the following major activities which are to be I qonitored to assess progress in RAP implementation:

- Review project-affected persons and assets - Cut-off dates established by GTCL (usually the SES date) I - Market prices reconciled and reported to the stakeholders - CDC verified and assessed non-land losses for individual PAP

1 - Compensation budgets prepared and approved by GTCL - GRC establrshed and made operational - lndlvrdual entitlement flles finalized - Compensat~on/ent~tlementpa~d (WIII be monitored on a continuing basis)

Sp far as evaluation is concerned, an independent review will have to be carried out to d$termine how effectively and efficiently land acquisition activities have been carried out and the RAP has been followed and implemented, and the efficiency of the stipulated mitigation rqeasures are ensured. GTCL may assign this task to the Environmental / SIA Specialist of the O/wnerls Engineer so that their periodical review report includes evalluation of RAP ir+plementation.

Tbe frequency of evaluation shall be fixed up by GTCL and may correspond to the stages of inlplementation of the RAP. Obviously, this frequency would correspond to the different phases of; construction and operation of the project.

~n lndependent Closure Survey will be done through appointment of ,an lndependent cbnsultant at the end of the implementation of the RAP.

812 Recommendations

Gliven the plans, GTCL is recommended to undertake implementation of the project. It should:

I I - Promptly constitute CDC and GRC and provide them with due adequate manpower, I logistic supports and the fund as required.

- Obtain most up-to-date estimates of the numbers of PAP to be affected by acq~lisition ,I & requisition in case its implementation is delayed by 6 month from now. - 1 In consideration of the fact that the GOB has a legal procedure to establish cut-off I dates for resettlement but this gets done only after the project has been approved. This cut-off date is established by the District Commissioner. Since this can create I I problem as in the past in prompting new compensation sites, it may be thought I appropriate to establish a different cut-off date and arrange issuing ID card and this can be included in the "House File" to be handed out to each PAP at the commencement of implementation of RAP. However, to avoid any legal complexity, a condition may be set there in so that it would be subject to verification by the I

I district administration for substantiation of the claim and payment of compensation. -Rereffhmenl- dcfioz ;Vhn ef ~ak/i/-abadSidd/ii~na7ziGar Tyanrmtj-rio7z F'ipefi7ze Fyqiecf

- Ensure and identify the position and strength of CDC & GRC to keep pace with the I schedule of execution of the project and the outfit of GTCL to loo~kafter the RAP I implementation process.

- Review and evaluate deta~ledresettlement budget for the pipelines along the ROW and the small block lands.

I - Arrange all preparatory works so that compensations are paid to all1 of the eligible

I PAP well before carrying out of any works at site impacting their properties. - Ensure incorporation of the provision of all mitigation measures including but not I limited for due reinstatement of all public roads and protection of river banks etc: from erosion.

- I Ensure alternative pathways & irrigation canals when these are affected.

- Monitor progress on the RAP by the Implementation Unit including deployment of I independent consultant and taking his comment and suggestions in to consideration as well.

I - Ensure progress reporting to the management by the implementing unit of GTCL. - I Ensure resettlement budget provision in ADP of GTCL for implemeniting the RAP. - Ensure institutional capacity of GTCL for implementing and monitoring RAP

I - Ensure implementation of the social management plan vis-a-vis Resettlement Action Plan as presented in this report. I I - Ensure adequacy of the grievance redress mechanism during post project evaluation and take care of the residual impact, if any, under the GOB regulations & the WB policy frame work OP 4.12.

- Consultative process should continue before and during execution of the project in I I order stay with an adequate and reasonable compensation as applicable. This is I absolutely important to avoid any litigation and thereby promoting smooth progress I of the project activities.

- Ensure to implement the recommendation (s) of the Independent consultant, as I applicable, on the basis of the Independent Closure Survey done at the end of the I implementation of the RAP.
