EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. Scope of the Project

1. The Government of Tamil Nadu has proposed to upgrade its road network under Chennai Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor Project (CKICP) that aims at improving the transport infrastructure, such as connectivity of industrial nodes to ports, urban areas, other nodes and critical hinterland areas, with financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank as Tamil Nadu Industrial Connectivity Project. The Highways Department of Tamil Nadu has been mandated to undertake improvement and upgradation of various State Highways at different locations in the State under this project.

2. The proposed project will support upgradation and improvement of the identified 16 road projects totalling of about 587.099km spread across the State. The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of the Highways Department has prepared this Resettlement Plan (RP) for the project Thuraiyur to Perambalur (SH-142), being one of the 16 road projects proposed for improvements under CKICP. This RP assesses the involuntary resettlement impacts resulting from the acquisition of private land and impacts on squatters and encroachers occupying the Right of Way. It outlines mitigation measures in line with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 and Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.

B. Project Road Description

3. The project, ‘Thuraiyur to Perambalur’ road, involves improvements to about 30.057 km of the State Highway-142 (SH-142) with two bypasses, one of about 1.500km at from km13.100 to km14.600 and another of about 2.000km at Kurumbalur from km27.850 to km29.850. The entire stretch along the existing 2-lane corridor on SH-142, is proposed to be improved to a two-lane corridor with paved shoulders and drains. This project road is in two districts (Trichy and Perambalur districts) and spreads across three Taluks (Thuraiyur in Trichy district and Alathur and Perambalur in Perambalur district).

C. Scope of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts

4. Objective of this Resettlement Plan (RP) is to assist the affected people to improve or at least restore their living standards to the pre-project level. This RP captures the involuntary resettlement impacts arising out of the proposed improvements to the proposed project road under CKICP. The document describes the magnitude of impact, mitigation measures proposed, method of valuation of land, structures and other assets, eligibility criteria for availing benefits, baseline socio-economic characteristics, entitlements based on type of loss and tenure, the institutional arrangements for delivering the entitlements and the mechanism for resolving grievances and monitoring.

5. Land plan schedules based on the detailed design have been prepared for this project stretch and the number of titleholders based on the revenue records has been captured. 12.12.32 Ha of private land belonging to 417 landowners (based on the land records) and transfer of 5.34.89Ha of government land from various government departments would be required for this project corridor. Out of the 417 affected landowners 187 would be losing 10 % and more land as per the assessment of land records (based on the land plan schedules), however the level of impact on land only affected households will be done during award enquiry (land acquisition process) The total (12.12.32Ha) private land required for the improvements includes 0.28.62Ha ii of wet land and 11.83.70 Ha dry and mania land. The number of landowners could vary during implementation due to issues related to ownership and mutation of titles. The precise number of titleholders will be updated once the land acquisition enquiry and award process are completed.

6. The improvements proposed will cause impact to 981private structures and 19 common property resources. Out of 98 affected structures 18 are residential structures and 11 are commercial structures, the 11 commercial structures comprise one commercial kiosk also. Balance 69 structures are falling in other category structures (compound wall, lean to roof, toilet, etc). Out of the total affected structures 12.24% structures are semi – permanent structures, 11.22% of the structures are permanent, 6.12% are temporary in nature and 70.41% are other category structures. Out of the total affected private structures 28 are primary (residential and commercial) structures. The primary structures include 6 commercial squatters, 8 residential squatters, 4 commercial owners and 10 owners of residential buildings.

7. Out of 28 primary structure 17 structures are significantly (where the impact to asset / structure is more than 10 % of the total area) affected and require to be rebuilt, while the remaining 11 structures will bear non-significant impacts. Among the significantly affected structures, 41.18% of the structures are being used for commercial purpose and balance 58.82% are used as residences. As the act (RFCTLARR, 2013) permits the building owner to surrender his/her full building if the building is not viable (an engineer of highways department during the project implementation shall decide the viability of the structure in consultation with the building owner) the number would vary during implementation.

8. In addition to the 417 affected title holders, 64 encroachers,14 squatters, one kiosk, 8 tenants and 5 employees also would be affected. In all, the project will cause impact to 509 households comprising of approximately 2514 persons.

D. Information Disclosure, Consultation, and Participation

9. During the census and socio-economic survey, focus groups discussions (FGDs) were conducted along the project road in settlements and sections where there were impacts to private assets. All relevant aspects of the road improvement design, land requirements sand impact to private property were discussed with the affected communities. Further, consultation meetings with affected persons, owners of commercial establishment along the project road, officials of the district administration and elected members of the local panchayat were held in o nine locations. A total of 200 individuals (17% women) participated to the consultation process.

10. Information will be disseminated to DPs at various stages. Information including magnitude of loss, detailed asset valuations, entitlements and special provisions, grievance procedures, timing of payments, displacement schedule, civil works schedule will be disclosed by the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Unit (LARRU) with the assistance from the agency hired for implementing the RP. The translated gist of the RP would provide details of the project, magnitude of impact to land and assets, eligibility and entitlement, institutional arrangement, and grievance redressal process. Hardcopies of the EM in Tamil will be distributed to the DPs by the LARRIC as per the ADB guidelines.

E. Legislative Framework, Entitlements, Assistance and Benefits

1 98 private structures and 19 CPRs affected were identified based on the set-out table (design) provided from FIU . iii

11. The entitlements for the Chennai Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor Project (CKICP) are based on national law: The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, State laws and regulations and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009.

12. For title holders, the date of preliminary land acquisition notification will be treated as the cut-off date, and for non-titleholders the cut-off date will be the census revalidation date as in this project the original census survey was done in September 2015. The census revalidation has been carried out from 12 to 22March 2019. The cut-off date for non-titleholders in this project is 12 March 2019 i.e. the start date of the revalidation of the census survey.

13. The Entitlement Matrix (EM) for the Chennai Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor Project summarizes the types of losses and the corresponding nature and scope of entitlements is in compliance with National/State Laws, in particular the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 and Asian Development Bank’s Safeguards Policy Statement, 2009. The total resettlement cost for the project is INR153.37 million.

F. Grievance Redressal Mechanism

14. Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) will be established at two-levels, one at the Regional level and another at project level, to receive, evaluate and facilitate the resolution of affected persons concerns, complaints and grievances.

G. Implementation Arrangements

15. To expedite land acquisition and implement the provisions of the RPs, four regional level Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement Units (LARRU) have been constituted and all the four units are operational. This road comes under the jurisdiction of Salem region LARRU. LARR units are headed by Special District Revenue Officer, Salem (Spl DRO) and is supported by a Resettlement Officer (RSO), Salem and Special Tahsildar, Perambalur.

16. The office of the Project Director, CKICP, Chennai, Highways Department, Government of Tamil Nadu will be the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) and will be overall in charge of coordination between the six Divisional Engineers (H) and the four Special DROs (LA).The PIU will be headed by the Project Director and supported by the Chief Engineer with a full-fledged unit under him. A Special District Revenue Officer (Spl DRO), Resettlement Officer (RSO) have been posted at the PIU to coordinate with the 4-LARRU and assist PD, PIU in land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement matters.

17. In view of the significance of resettlement impacts in this road, the monitoring mechanism for this project will have both monitoring by LARRU and monitoring by an external agency / expert.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A. Background

2. The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of the Highways Department has prepared this Resettlement Plan (RP) for the project Thuraiyur to Perambalur (SH-142), being one of the 16 road proposed for improvements under CKICP. This RP assesses the involuntary resettlement impacts resulting from the acquisition of private land and impacts on squatters and encroachers occupying the Right of Way. It outlines mitigation measures in line with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 and Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.

B. Thuraiyur to Perambalur Road (SH 142)

3. The ‘Thuraiyur to Perambalur’ road, involves improvements to about 30.057km of the State Highway-142 (SH-142) with two bypasses (one of about 1.500km at Nakkasalem from 2 km13.100 to km14.600 and another of about 2.000km at Kurumbalur from km27.850 to km29.850). The existing 2-lane corridor along SH-142 will be improved to a two-lane corridor with paved shoulders and drains. This corridor is in two districts (Trichy and Perambalur districts) and spreads across three Taluks (Thuraiyur in Trichy district and Alathur and Perambalur in Perambalur district). The key plan of the road is presented below.

Figure 1: Key Plan

4. In rural sections, the proposed cross section is:7.0m carriageway, 1.5m paved shoulders and 1.0m earthen shoulders. In urban sections, the cross-section design is: 7.0m carriageway with 1.5m paved shoulders and 1.5m foot path with covered drains. A utility corridor with a varying width from 3.0m in rural area and 1.2m in urban area is proposed. In rural areas,1.5m wide open drains are also proposed .

5. The road connects Thuraiyur town with Perambalur Town, the District headquarters of Perambalur District. At Perambalur, it merges with the existing bypass connecting to NH-45. This road will have 26 bus bays in 13 locations along the road at the site of existing bus stops. The map of this road with the bypass locations is presented below.

C. Profile of the project Area 6. This project corridor is located in two districts viz. Trichy and Perambalur districts and spreads across three Taluks viz. Thuraiyur of Trichy district and Alathur and Perambalur of Perambalur district.

7. Trichy district has a population of 27,22,290 persons which is 3.77 % of the State population. The District has a rural population of 50.8 % and urban population of 49.2 %, which is almost equivalent to the rural and urban ratio in the State (Tamil Nadu rural 51.6% and urban 48.4%). The Scheduled Tribe (ST) population of the District is 2.29 % of the State’s ST population. The ST population in the villages along the corridor is about 13.4 % of the District’s ST population. With an annual normal rainfall of about 874.5mm, Trichy district accounts for 3.36 % of total area under paddy in the State, which is 35.88 % of the area under cultivation in the district. Trichy district has about 1,34,328 ha of land under principal crops of which food grains are cultivated in 76.5 % of the area. Workers account for 44.6 % of the population amongst whom 89.2 % are main workers.

8. Thuraiyur is a Taluk located in Trichy district of Tamil Nadu. It is one of 9 Taluks of Trichy district. According to the 2011 census, the taluk of Thuraiyur had a population of 249,060 with 123,062 males and 125,998 females. There were 1024 women for every 1000 men. The taluk had a literacy rate of 71.42. Child population in the age group below 6 was 11,705 males and 10,708 females. Caste is not prevalent in this region, but still the castes of Radiyyar and Sozhiya vellalar control a large part of economy. Urali Gounders, Mutharaiyar, Chozhiya vellalar, Reddiyar, Nayudu, [kurumba] Udaiyarand Schedued Castes make up most of the population.

9. Perambalur district has a population of 565223 which is just 0.78 % of the State population. The District has a rural population of 82.8 % and urban population of 17.2 %, which is much higher than the rural and urban ratio in the State (Tamil Nadu rural 51.6% and urban 48.4%), indicating that this district is predominantly rural. The Scheduled Tribe (ST) population of the District is 0.33 % of the State’s ST population. The ST population in the villages along the corridor is about 17.65 4

% of the District’s ST population. With an annual normal rainfall of about 768.7mm, Perambalur district accounts for 6.8 % of total area under paddy in the State, which is 36.6 % of the area under cultivation in the district. Perambalur district has about 91,504 ha of land under principal crops of which food grains are cultivated in 61.2 % of the area. Workers account for 53.0 % of the population amongst whom 85.1 % are main workers.

10. Perambalur is a municipality town in the state of Tamil Nadu. It is the administrative headquarters of Perambalur district and Perambalur Taluk. According to the 2011 census, the taluk of Perambalur had a population of 161,993 with 81,313 males and 80,680 females. There were 992 women for every 1000 men. The taluk had a literacy rate of 73.87. Child population in the age group below 6 was 7,704 Males and 7,054 Females

D. Project Impacts

11. The towns and villages along the project road will improve connectivity with the National Highways (NH-45) and connectivity to the NH-45, the section of Chennai to Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor. This will lead to industrial growth along this road that will result in employment generation. Further, the improvements proposed under this road will improve connectivity for the local community living in the vicinity to markets, health care facilities, and educational institutions due to better designed roads. However, the improvements will involve the acquisition of private land for widening and geometric improvements. Moreover, it will also have impacts on non-titled holders using the Right of Way (ROW).

12. The proposed project road will involve the acquisition of 12.12.32ha of private land belonging to approximately 417 landowners, the transfer of 5.34.89 ha of government land and will impact 98 private structures. The impact to 98 private (TH & NTHs) structures will cause the physical displacement of 18 households, economic displacement of 11 households (including one kiosk) and non-significant impacts on 79 structure affected households. Around 187 landowners would be losing 10 % and more land as per the assessment of land records(based on the land plan schedules), however the intensity of the impact on land only affected households will be done during award enquiry (land acquisition process). In addition to these 8 tenants, 5 employees and19 common property resources will also be affected. In all the project will cause impact to 509 households (417 THs & 92 NTHs) comprising of tentatively 2514 persons (projected figure based on the detailed socio-economic survey done for 31 HHs). The involuntary resettlement impacts are summarised in Table 2.

13. The vulnerability amongst the significantly impacted households account for 55.56 % (20 DHs out of 36 DHs – the vulnerability status of 5 HH, those who were not available during survey to be assessed). The vulnerable constitute 30 % below poverty line (BPL6) 40% scheduled caste, 15 % each elderly people and women headed households. The vulnerable status of significantly impacted DHs in the project, which is mutually exclusive in the order of priority as presented in the following table is given below. Vulnerability assessment will do for all the affected households during award enquiry and this section will be updated.

E. Minimizing Involuntary Resettlement

14. Measures were taken to minimise the adverse involuntary resettlement impacts by adopting concentric widening in built-up sections and reducing the proposed right-of-way to 16m. The available right-of-way (RoW) was utilised to the maximum, thereby reducing additional land requirements for the proposed widening. Two bypasses have been proposed in Nakkasalem and Kurumbalur towns to avoid adverse social impacts.. A quantitative analysis on minimisation of impacts will be done on completion of award enquiry and estimation of exact number of project affected households in the new alignment.

F. Impact to Indigenous Peoples

15. The census and socio-economic survey and consultations conducted along the project road confirm that there are no affected indigenous people.

17. The available right-of-way (RoW) was fully optimized for the proposed improvements. The exact alignment of the RoW was determined using village FMB maps and verified in the field. The Highways Department confirms that, the existing right is belonging to Highways Department and there are no legacy issues in any of the project stretches. In many areas, the existing RoW is not enough to meet the design requirements of the cross sections. The private land required for the proposed improvements is 12.12.32Ha, comprising of 0.28.62Ha of wet land and 11.83.70 Ha of dry land. Further, 5.34.89Ha of government land also to be transferred for the proposed improvements. The land plan schedules (LPS) have been prepared and the precise number of titleholders and extent of land will be updated once award enquiry is completed (process of land acquisition).

III. SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION PROFILE

A. Involuntary Resettlement Impacts

28. This RP is based on the census and socio-economic survey revalidation carried out in March 2019. The revalidation is done as per the final and detailed design of the road project. The census survey identified 98 households losing their structure and 187 households losing their land alone, the salient findings are presented in the following sections. The information about the affected persons and compensation will be finalized during award enquiry for both eligible title and non-title holders (including vulnerable households).

B. Methodology Adopted

29. The census survey enumerated all private assets/properties and common property resources within the proposed right-of-way (PRoW) of 23m in rural sections, 16m in urban sections and 30m in by-pass sections. For every affected household, a pretested structured questionnaire was administered during the census survey. The survey recorded details of: (i) identity of the Affected Household (AH); (ii) tenure; and (iii) type, use and extent of loss to the DH.

30. In addition to recording the above information, detailed socio-economic characteristics, including demographic profile of members of the household, standards of living, inventory of physical assets, vulnerability characteristics, indebtedness level, health and sanitation, and ascertaining perceptions about project, resettlement options and compensation, was collected from all main building affected households. A highway engineer will decide the stability of the partly affected buildings during project implementation. All structures were photographed and numbered for reference and record. Details of common property resources within the PRoW were also recorded.

31. The affected households were categorised based on the severity of impact as significant (loss of 10 % and above of the productive asset or structure) and non-significant (loss of less than 10 % of the productive asset or structure). The summary of Affected Households and the summary of Affected Common Property Resources are presented in Appendix-1.

32. The census survey identified 98 building/structure affected households, eight tenants and five employees who would be affected and 19 common property resource that would be affected and required to be relocated or compensated. Of the 98 structure affected households, 18 households (including Kiosk) will have significant impact on their buildings and eight household on economic displacement (Tenants) those 36 HHs (comprise both titleholders and non-titled holders) are covered in socio economic survey. The survey details are analyzed and presented in the following sections. Out of the 36 significantly affected HHs 31 were responded to the survey and those 31HHs comprises 153 APs. Socio economic survey has been conducted for all the physically and economically displaced affected households. The economic displacement of land only affected households can be assessed only during award enquiry. This section of the RP will be updated on completion of award enquiry.

33. Further, as per the land-plan-schedule (LPS) that has been prepared, there are 417 land parcels which would involve at least that many numbers of landowners who would be losing a strip of their land due to widening or bypass or curve improvement. Among these 417 landowners, 187 landowners will loss 10 % or more of their land holding and 19 TH households will have 12 significant impact on building (including land) the remaining 211 landowners will face non- significant impact.

D. Information Dissemination During Census & Socio -economic Survey Revalidation 56. In Thurayur to Perambulur road (SH 142) revalidation of census survey was started on 12th March 2019 and completed on 22nd March 2019 by LARRIC. The officers of field implementation unit and LARR unit were attended the revalidation activity. The PAPs were briefed about the project, entitlement matrix, tentative timeline of project implementation etc during census revalidation. All the assets (buildings/structures) falling within the proposed ROW based on the final design were numbered in blue colour. The snapshots of the activity are shown below.

E. Plan for further Consultation in the Project 57. The extent and level of involvement of stakeholders at various stages of the project from design stage and throughthe RP implementation will open up the line of communication between the various stakeholders and the project implementing authorities, thereby aiding the process of 23 resolving conflicts at the early stages of the project rather than letting it escalate into conflicts resulting in implementation delays and cost overrun. Participation of the local community in decision-making will help mitigate adverse impacts.

58. Further, successful implementation of the RP is directly related to the degree of involvement of those affected by the project road. Consultations with DPs will be conducted regularlyduringthe RP implementation. The Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Unit (LARRU), the jurisdictional DE (H), and the RP implementing support consultant will be responsible for conducting these consultations. The proposed consultation plan will include the following. i) In case of any change in the project design, the DPs and other stakeholders will be consulted regarding the factors that necessitate the change, efforts taken to minimize resettlement impacts and mitigation measures available. ii) The LARRU, with the assistance of the RP implementing support consultant, will carry out information dissemination sessions in the project area. iii) During the implementation of the RP, LA&RR implementing consultant (LARRIC) will organize public meetings and will appraise the communities about the schedule/progress in the RP and civil works implementation, including awareness regarding road safety and HIV AIDS prevention. iv) Consultations and focus group discussions will be conducted with vulnerable groups like women headed households, ST and SC to ensure that the vulnerable groups understand the process and that their needs are specifically taken into consideration.

59. A Public Consultation and Disclosure Plan will be finalised by the PIU in consultation with the project LARRU as per the tentative schedule given in the following table.

V. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

A. Background

64. The Chennai Kannyakumari Industrial Corridor Project (CKICP), Highways Department Government of Tamil Nadu has prepared an Entitlement Matrix (EM) to mitigate the involuntary resettlement impacts that can arise in this project and is line with the EM of the Second Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project (TNRSP-II) which is currently being implemented. The EM complies with the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR), State Laws and Policies and the ADB Safeguards Policy Statement, 2009 (SPS).

B. National Legislations, Policies and ADB Policy 65. The entitlements for the Chennai Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor Project (CKICP) is based on national law: The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, State laws and regulations and the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009.

66. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013, provides for a transparent process and just and fair compensation to the affected families whose land is acquired or proposed to be acquired or are affected by such acquisition and provides for rehabilitation and resettlement assistance of the affected families. The basic principle of the RFCTLARR Act is to ensure that the cumulative outcome of compulsory land acquisition should be such that, the affected persons become partners in development, leading to an improvement in the standard of living after acquisition. This act came into effect on January 01, 2014 and the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 stands repealed.

67. The LA Officer while determining the market value of the land has to consider the higher value of the land arrived at by 3-methods of valuation viz: (i) market value as per Indian Stamp Act, 1899 for the registration of sale deed or agreements to sell, in the area where land is situated; or (ii) average sale price for similar type of land, situated in the nearest village or nearest vicinity area, ascertained from the highest 50% of sale deeds of the preceding 3 years; or (iii) consented amount paid for PPPs or private companies. In case of rural areas, the market value of land so determined is multiplied by a factor, as per the G.O.Ms. No 300 of Revenue and Disaster Management (LA-I(1)) dated 21.09.2017A solatium of 100% is payable on the market value of land multiplied by the factor and all immovable properties or assets, trees and plants.

68. A Resettlement and Rehabilitation award detailing the entitlements to be provided as per the Second Schedule of Act is passed by the LAO after getting approval from the Project Director. Possession of land can be taken only after payment of compensation and rehabilitation and resettlement entitlements as detailed in Second Schedule. The details of amenities to be provided in a resettlement site is detailed in the Third Schedule.

Relevance: In this project, land will be acquired invoking the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001 and compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR). To enable use of TN Highways Act, Sec 105A was inserted in the RFCTLARR Act through an amendment. 26

C. Legal and Policy Frameworks of Tamil Nadu 69. The legislations and policy concerning the land acquisition and resettlement for road project includes (i) Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001 and (ii) The Tamil Nadu Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Rules, 2017. (iii) G.O.Ms. No 300 of Revenue and Disaster Management (LA-I(1)) dated 21.09.2017The factor by which the market value of land shall be multiplied in case the project is situated in rural areas in accordance with Section 26(2) of RFCTLARR Act read with the provisions contained in Serial Number 2 of the First Schedule of RFCTLARR Act has been notified vide this government order. The multiplication factor of 1.25 for projects that are within 30km from the urban area, a factor of 1.5 for projects beyond 30km and within 50km and a factor of 2.0 for projects beyond 50km.

D. ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 70. The ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 describes the policy objective, its scope and triggers and principles of (i) environmental safeguards; (ii) involuntary resettlement safeguards; and (iii) indigenous people’s safeguards. The objectives of involuntary resettlement safeguards are: (i) avoid involuntary resettlement where possible; (ii) if avoidance is not possible, minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; (iii) enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and (iv) improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.

71. The involuntary resettlement safeguards policy covers physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of; (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. It covers them whether such losses and involuntary restrictions are full or partial, permanent or temporary.

72. The three important elements of involuntary resettlement safeguards are: (i) compensation at replacement cost for lost assets, livelihood, and income prior to displacement; (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and (iii) assistance for rehabilitation to enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons relative to pre-project levels and to improve the standard of living of displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.

73. Replacement cost is defined as (i) fair market value; (ii) transaction costs; (iii) interest accrued, (iv) transitional and restoration costs; and (v) other applicable payments, if any.

E. Comparison of Government and ADB Policies 74. Overall, the new Act now bridges the gaps between the GoI policy and ADB's SPS, 2009. In particular, the Act requires social impact assessments for projects involving land acquisition, although it sets a minimum threshold of 3 years for affected non-titled holders for this provision to apply, while this is not required in the SPS. The Act also expands compensation coverage by a solatium of 100% of all compensation amounts. Overall, the RFCTLARR Act, 2013 brings the value of compensations for land and structures higher than replacement cost, which is the principle on which compensations are calculated under SPS. The Act furthermore is in line with ADB requirement that compensation be paid prior to project taking possession of any land.

27

75. The outstanding differences between the government and ADB policy is the establishment of a cut-off date for compensation or entitlements to non-title holders. The RFCTLARR Act, 2013 specifies that only non-titleholders residing on any land for the preceding three years or more will be entitled for compensation and assistance as per this Act. This gap has been bridged by incorporating the cut-off date for non-titleholders will be the start date of census survey which is provided in the Resettlement Plan. Moreover, unlike SPS the new Land Act does not have special provisions for vulnerable households but only for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. Special measures for vulnerable households have been included in this RP.

76. A significant development in Government statute is the notification of ‘The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013’, which has repealed the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 (as amended in 1984). This Act decreases significantly the gap between the LA Act 1894 and ADB’s SPS. The Act also provides for value of structures, trees, plants, or standing crops affected to be compensated at market value along with a solatium of 100 %. The Act furthermore meets ADB requirement as Section 38(1) of RFCTLARR Act mandates payment of compensation and rehabilitation and resettlement entitlements prior to project taking possession of the land.

F. Involuntary Resettlement Safeguard Principles for the Project 77. Based on the above analysis of the government provisions and ADB policy, the following resettlement principles have been adopted for this Project: • land acquisition, and other involuntary resettlement impacts will be avoided or minimized exploring all viable alternative sub-project designs; • where unavoidable, time-bound resettlement plans (RPs) will be prepared and APs will be assisted in improving or at least regaining their pre-program standard of living; • consultation with APs on compensation, disclosure of resettlement information to APs, and participation of APs in planning and implementing sub-projects will be ensured; • vulnerable and severely affected households will be provided special assistance; • payment of compensation to APs including non-titled persons (e.g., informal dwellers/squatters, and encroachers) for acquired assets at replacement rates; • payment of compensation and resettlement assistance prior to the contractor taking physical acquisition of the land and prior to the commencement of any construction activities; • provision of income restoration and rehabilitation; and • Establishment of appropriate grievance redressal mechanisms.

G. Valuation of land and assets 1. Compensation for Land 78. Land will be acquired in accordance with provisions of State’s Law while determining the compensation for land, the competent authority will be guided by the provisions of Sec 26, Sec 27, Sec 28, Sec 29 and Sec 30 of RFCTLARR Act, 2013. The compensation includes, the multiplying factor7 of 1.25-2.00 times on the land value being the higher of the guideline value or average of higher 50% of sale deed rates for the preceding 3 years or any rates consented for PPP or private projects. In addition, 100% solatium will be added. This calculation meets the replacement cost requirement of SPS. The Project will provide 25% of the total amount for those who accepted for negotiated purchase, in addition to the compensation as per RFCTLARR act

7 As per G.O.Ms. No 300 of Revenue and Disaster Management (LA-I(1)) dated 21.09.2017. 28

2013 vide G.O.(D) No.195, Highways and Minor Ports (HS2) Department, Dated 26.11.2019. If the residual land, remaining after acquisition, is unviable, the owner of such land/property will have the right to seek acquisition of his entire contiguous holding/property.

79. Where land owners refuse to accept the compensation or where there is a dispute to the title of the property , the Spl DRO will remit such amount with the LARR authority and in all other cases, where compensation cannot be paid, the compensation amount will be kept in an interest bearing account with the project for a period of three years and paid to land owners as and when they come forward to accept the compensation.

2. Compensation for Structures

80. All affected households losing structures, regardless of legal title, will be paid compensation equivalent to the replacement cost of the structure, or in the case of titled-holders, compensations based on PWD rates in the area plus 100% solatium according to the RFCTLARR Act 2013. Replacement cost is the rate determined based on the prevailing scheduled of rates, updated by a panel of competent engineers every year. If the RFCTLARR Act 2013 rates are higher than replacement cost, they will be maintained for the project. If these rates are lower than replacement cost, then replacement cost for the structure will be provided to titled-holders also. In addition, physically displaced titled and non-titled holders will receive additional resettlement and subsistence allowances. All PAPs irrespective of their title will be compensated based on the Entitlement Matrix (EM).

81. Compensation for properties belonging to the community or common places of worship will be provided to enable construction of the same at new places through the department owning it or the local self-governing bodies like Village Panchayat/Village council or the trust/body managing the places of worship, in accordance with the modalities determined by such bodies to ensure correct use of the amount of compensation. Further, all compensation and assistance will be paid to DPs at least 1 month prior to displacement or dispossession of assets.

82. Upon payment of compensation, the APs will be given 1-month time to take away the materials salvaged from their dismantled houses or shops or other building, and no charges will be levied upon them for the same. A notice to that effect will be issued intimating that APs can take away the materials so salvaged within 30 days of receipt of compensation; or otherwise, the structure would be demolished, and material disposed of by the project authority without giving any further notice.

3. Compensation for Trees

83. Compensation for trees will be based on their market value. Loss of timber trees, compensation for fruit bearing trees, perennial trees, loss of crops, will be compensated at their replacement cost for titled-holders either compensated as replacement cost or as per the rates assessed by the Departments of Forest or Horticulture or Agriculture along with 100% solatium in line with the provision of RFCTLARR Act 2013, whichever is higher. For non-title holders compensation for fruit bearing trees will be paid without solatium (as per EM). The replacement cost of fruit trees will take into account the productive life of the tree. Prior to taking possession of the land or assets attached to the land, the compensation will be fully paid, and APs will have the opportunity to harvest crops/trees within 1-month from the date of payment of compensation.

H. Updating Units of Entitlement

29

84. All units of entitlement and assistances will be revised by PIU, based on Consumer Price Index for Agricultural Labourers (CPIAL) and communicated to all LARRU for making payment as per the revised rates. The unit rates contained in the EM of this RP will be applicable until March 31, 2019. The updating will be done annually in the month of March and will become effective from the 1st day of April of that year. The unit rates will not be downgraded, and the rate increased, if any will be communicated to ADB.

I. Rehabilitation and Resettlement Award

85. The Special DRO, LARRU will pass a separate Rehabilitation and Resettlement Award after getting the approval from Project Director, listing the names of displaced persons and their entitlements in accordance with approved EM for this project. The same will be displayed in prominent places such as the office of the local body concerned, office of the DE, Highways, LAARU and individual awards will be issued to the APs.

30

VI. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS

A. Introduction

86. The project will have two types of affected persons i.e.: (i) persons with formal legal rights to land lost in its entirety or in part; and (ii) persons who have neither formal legal rights nor recognized or recognizable claims to such land. The involuntary resettlement requirements apply to both thesetypes of affected persons.

B. Eligibility Criteria

87. In accordance with the involuntary resettlement policy principles of this project, the affected persons falling in any of the following three categories will be eligible for compensation and resettlement assistance: (i) those who have formal legal rights to land lost in its entirety or in part (title holders / pattadars); (ii) those who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part and have no formal legal rights to such land, but who have claims to such lands that are recognized or recognizable under national/state laws (forest dwellers); and (iii) those who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part and have neither formal legal rights nor recognized or recognizable claims to such land (non-titled holders such as squatters and encroachers).

88. Cut-off Date: For title holders, the date of preliminary notification of intended acquisition as per the provisions of State lawswill be treated as the cut-off date.

89. For non-titled holders, the cut-off date will be the start of the census revalidation survey. Given that the census survey had been carried out in September 2015 and that the implementation of the RP was delayed for around 4 years, LARRIC has undertaken a joint verification and updating the census and socioeconomic data along with LARRU and Cuddalore FIU (the jurisdictional DE) from 12 – 22ndMarch 2019. 12thMarch 2019 is the cut-off date for non- titleholders of this project.

90. There will be adequate notification and dissemination of the cut-off date and measures will be taken to prevent encroachments/squatting after the cut-off date is established. Non-title holders who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation. They however will be given sufficient advance notice (60 days) to vacate the premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation. The project will recognize both licensed and non-licensed vendors, and titled and non-titled households

C. Entitlement Matrix 91. The Entitlement Matrix (EM) for the Chennai Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor Project summarizes the types of losses and the corresponding nature and scope of entitlements and is in compliance with National/State Laws, in particular the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 and the Requirements II on Involuntary Resettlement of the Safeguard Policy Statement of the Asian Development Bank, 2009. The entitlement matrix presents the entitlements corresponding to the tenure of the affected persons in the following order:

31

(i) Impact to private property (title holders) consisting of: (a) loss of private land; (b) loss of private residential structure; (c) loss of private commercial structure; (d) loss of private other structures ; (e) impact to tenants (residential / commercial / agricultural) of title holders; and (f) impact to trees, standing crops, etc; (ii) Impact to Non-title holders consisting of: (a) impact to squatters; and (b) impact to encroachers; (iii) Loss of employment to agricultural and non-agricultural workers/employees; (iv) Additional assistance to vulnerable affected persons; and (v) Unforeseen impacts

92. The following is the approved entitlement matrix for the project (the EM has been approved Vide letter No. Highways and Minor Ports (HS2) Departments, Secretariat Chennai- 9, letter (D) No. 280/HS2/2018-1 dated 13.11.2018).

VII. RELOCATION OF HOUSING AND SETTLEMENTS

A. Physically displaced households

94. The survey shows that 18building affected households and 8 tenant households will require physical relocation as their residential or commercial structure will no longer be viable. Out of the 17 physically displaced households 8 are residential squatters, 6 are commercial squatters, 2 are residential titleholder and one is commercial titleholder. This has been assessed based on the extent of impact on the structures (if 10% or more of the structure is affected, it is deemed as fully affected). During implementation however, the viability of the structure will be further assessed and whenever a residential or commercial structure is deemed by the affected household and CKICP as unviable, then it will also be considered as fully affected. This section discusses about the ten(8 Squatter & 2 Titleholder) residential impacted households.

B. Physical Relocation Allowances Provided by the Project

95. In addition to the replacement cost of structure, any affected household who is physically displaced from his/her residence or commercial structure as a result of the project will receive the following relocation allowances:

C. Relocation Strategy 96. The residential displaced titleholder households are entitled for a built house or cash in lieu of house in addition to compensation at replacement cost and other R&R assistances.

D. Physical Relocation Allowances Provided by the Project 97. As part of the implementation activity, the LARRU with the help of the RP implementation consultant will consult each DPs to obtain their choice based on the options available to them. If any of the displaced family finds difficulty in self resettlement, LARRIC shall facilitate those PAPs to resettle in coordination with LARRU, including provision of developed individual house sites. This project does not expect development of resettlement sites for residential displaced households.

100. Effort will be made by the LARRU with the support of the LARRIC to assist the DP in their effort to restore their income. If the DP so desires, the R&R assistances can be utilized to deliver suitable income restoration activities in order to leverage on the existing skills of the DP.

C. Special Measures to Support Vulnerable Groups • As per the Census Survey 20 vulnerable households are affected by the project road. • The following special assistance measures will be provided to physically displaced vulnerable households: • 20 HH will be eligible to participate to the income improvement program

D. Income Restoration Measures 101. The entitlement proposed under this project (CKICP) has adequate provisions for restoration of livelihood of the affected persons. Wherever feasible and if the DP so desires, income restoration schemes will be identified and implemented by the LARRU with the assistance of the implementing consultant.

102. Towards this the DP will be guided and assisted by the LARRU with the support of the LARRIC, in effectively using the compensation and R&R assistances towards establishing an income generating activity and re-establishing the shop/kiosk or utilising the amount for buying land or taking land on lease. The compensation for land and assets and the R&R assistances arrived at in accordance with the provisions of the RFCTLARR Act are adequate to restore the income levels. Further, the subsistence allowance and cash in lieu of annuity policy are aimed at providing long term support to the affected households and will ensure that the income levels are restored. Further, efforts will be made to provide employment to the DPs during the construction phase by facilitating their engagement by the civil works contractor. The LARRU in consultation with the jurisdictional DE, should ensure that local people and in particular the willing DPs are engaged by the contractor in suitable civil work as stipulated in the contract.

103. Further, the LARRU with the assistance of the LARRIC will make the training need assessment and will impart training to the eligible DPs, in particular to the vulnerable DPs, for income restoration and skill up-gradation as necessary. 44

IX. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN

A. Introduction

104. The resettlement cost estimate for the project include compensation for private land determined in accordance with RFCTLARR Act and by adopting the multiplying factor adopted in accordance with the State specific multiplication factor19. Budgetary provisions have been made for the compensation for structure at replacement cost without depreciation, resettlement and rehabilitation assistances to titleholders in accordance with the RFCTLARR Act and to non- titleholders in accordance with the provisions of the EM of CKICP and the cost of RP implementation, including the cost of resolving grievances. The total resettlement cost for the project is INR 153.37million. The major heads of budget items are listed below.

B. Compensation

105. Private Land: The compensation for private land has been calculated as an average of replacement cost of land in rural and semi-urban area adjoining the road corridor. The replacement cost was gathered during census survey in discussion with local community and the elected local body representatives and compared with guideline value from the registration department. For budgetary purpose, the replacement cost for land has been taken as Rs.825 per sq.m. being the highest rate for rural land from the guideline value. The multiplying factor as per State rules is 1.25, being the maximum that can applied to any land parcel, and is based on the distance from the nearest urban centre. With a 100% solatium, the land cost works out to be Rs.2062.50 or say Rs.2063 per sq.m.

106. Structure: The compensation for structures have been arrived at based on prevailing (year 2018 -19) market rate (the rate shall be updated in every year by a panel of engineers in public works department, Govt of Tamil Nadu) for building works, material and labour. Rate fixed for each category along with the quantity is given in table 33. However, at the time of disbursement of the compensation, the competent authority will value each structure to arrive at the replacement cost as per the current rate. The solatium of 100% on structure rate is adopted for titleholders.

C. Assistances 107. All other unit rates as per the minimum provisions contained in RFCTLARR Act and as per the approved EM. For budgeting purpose, the onetime grant of Rs.5,00,000 has been provided for significantly impacted titleholders who would lose one-third of their family income.

D. Compensation for Community Assets and Government Structures 108. The unit cost for the place of worship has been budgeted at a lumpsum Rs.3,00,000 to cover the cost of reconstruction which would be assessed and paid during implementation by LARRU. However, the actual cost will be assessed by the Highways Engineer at the time of implementation.

E. RP Implementation Cost 109. The cost of hiring NGO for assisting LARRU in RP implementation has been provided with a budget of Rs.40,00,000, for intermittent inputs and the RP implementation is expected to be completed in 24 months including disbursement of compensation and rehabilitation and

19 G.O.Ms. No 300 of Revenue and Disaster Management (LA-I(1)) dated 21.09.2017. 45 resettlement assistance for land acquired under RFCTLARR Act. A budgetary cost for external monitoring and evaluation has also been envisaged, as this project is a Category-A for IR, a budgetary provision of Rs.20,00,000 has been made available for hiring of a consultant for the same. The budgetary provision for meeting administrative expenses is included as part of the project cost. A lumpsum provision of Rs.5,00,000 towards grievance redressal mechanism related expenses has been budgeted. Further, a lump sum provision of Rs.50,000 to meet disclosure expenses and a lump sum provision of Rs.2,00,000/- for staff training, in particular the LARRU and LARRIC staff involved in RP implementation, has also been budgeted.

F. Source of Funding and Fund Flow 110. The Government will provide adequate budget for all land acquisition compensations, R&R assistances and RP implementation costs from the counterpart funding. The funds as estimated in the budget for a financial year and additional fund required based on revised estimates, shall be available at the disposal of the jurisdictional Divisional Engineer (Highways) at the beginning of the financial year and from whom LARRU will draw the required funds. The PD, Chennai Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor Project (CKICP), Highways Department being the EA for this project, will provide necessary funds for compensation for land and structure and the cost of resettlement assistances in a timely manner to the jurisdictional Divisional Engineer (Highways). The DE(H) will ensure timely availability of funds with the LARRU for smooth implementation of the RP. The LARRIC under the LARRU will facilitate disbursements, but the responsibility of ensuring full and timely payment to displaced persons will be that of LARRU.

G. Resettlement Budget Estimates 111. The budget for this project is based on data and informed collected during revalidation of census and socio-economic surveys conducted in March 2019. The unit rates for structure has been worked out from the current (2018 -19) schedule of rates of public works department of Government of Tamil Nadu. The total budget for LA, RRand implementation cost is estimated at INR.153.37million. A detailed budget estimate for the project is given along with item wise cost break-up in the following table.33

H. Disbursement of Compensation and Assistances 112.

If the DPs destination branch does not have the facility to receive ECS (Credit), then the disbursement shall be done through respective lead banks’ IFSC (Indian Financial System Code). Payment through account payee cheques will be made only if payment trough ECS is not possible and no cash payment will be made.

113. The NGO and LARRU, while collecting bank particulars from the APs, will also check with the respective bank branches if the branch has ECS (Credit) mechanism, and if not, details of lead bank offering the facility will be collected to facilitate ECS transfer. Wherever new accounts are to be opened, preference will be given to bank’s having ECS (Credit) facility. The NGO will check the type of APs bank account and help the AP to convert the bank account to a regular savings bank account, if it is of Jan Dhan type, to enable receive compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement assistances.

X. GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM

A. Introduction

114. A project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) will be established to receive, evaluate and facilitate the resolution of affected people’s concerns, complaints and grievances about the social and environmental performance at different levels of the project. The GRM will aim to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project. The project-specific GRM is not intended to bypass the government’s own redress process, rather it is intended to address affected people's concerns and complaints promptly, making it readily accessible to all segments of the affected people and is scaled to the risks and impacts of the project. The PAPs are free to approach the judicial system at any time

B. Grievance Redressal Committee

115. The Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) will be composed of two Grievance Redress Committees (GRCs), one at the Project level (Project-Level GRC), and the other at the local level (local-level GRC). The GRCs’ role is to receive, evaluate and facilitate the resolution of affected persons concerns, complaints and grievances. The GRM will provide an opportunity to the PAPs to have their grievances redressed prior to approaching the State level LARR Authority20, constituted by Government of Tamil Nadu in accordance with Section 51(1) of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013. The GRM is aimed to provide a trusted way to voice and resolve concerns linked to the project, and to be an effective way to address affected person’s concerns without allowing it to escalate resulting in delays in project implementation.

116. The GRM will continue to function, for the benefit of the APs, during the entire life of the project including the defects liability period. The response time prescribed for the GRCs would be three weeks. Since the entire resettlement component of the project has to be completed before the construction starts, to resolve the pending grievances, the GRC, at regional level, will meet at least once every month in the first year of the RP implementation and once in three months thereafter. Other than disputes relating to ownership rights and apportionment issues on which the LARR Authority has jurisdiction, the GRCs will review grievances involving eligibility, valuation, all resettlement and rehabilitation benefits, relocation and payment of assistances. Grievances received by the Special DRO, LARRU will be resolved at his/her level, if possible, else it will be placed before the GRC.

117. District Level: District level GRCs will function at Cuddalore. The 4-member District level GRCs will be chaired by (i) a retired District Revenue Officer (DRO) or equivalent rank officer, the (ii) Divisional Engineer, Highways, CKICP acting as its member secretary and a (iii) RDO of the concerned project division and (iv) a local person of repute and standing in the society, nominated by the Project Director, CKICP based on the recommendations made by the respective District Collector. Grievances/concerns can be lodged directly to the DE, Highways, CKICP or submitted to the consultant/agency appointed for implementation support, either in person or through post or through email.

20 G.O.(Ms) No.305, Revenue & Disaster Management (LA-I(1)), dated 20th September 2017. 49

118. Project-Level GRC: The Project Director, CKICP, Highways Department will be the appellate authority who will be supported by the Superintending Engineer, PIU. The grievance redressal procedure is shown in the following figure.

Figure 3: Grievance Redressal Process

C. Functions of Local-Level GRC 119. The main functions of the GRCs will be: (i) To provide support to PAPs on problems arising out of eligibility for entitlements and R&R assistance as per the Entitlement Matrix; (ii) To record the grievances of the PAPs, categorize and prioritize the grievance that needs to be resolved by the GRC and solve them within 3 weeks; (iii) To inform the PIU (and Project-Level GRC) regarding serious cases within one week; and (iv) To report to the aggrieved parties about the developments regarding their grievances and decisions of the PIU, within 3 weeks.

XIII.MONITORING AND REPORTING

A. Introduction

148. The objective of monitoring is to provide the PIU and LARRU with an effective tool for assessing rehabilitation progress, identifying potential difficulties and problems areas and provide an early warning system for areas that need correction. Continuous supervision and periodic monitoring are an integral part of successful implementation. Monitoring is a warning system for project managers and a channel for the APs to express their needs and reactions to the programme.

B. Internal Monitoring

149. The Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Unlit (LARRU) will carry out concurrent monitoring of RP implementation through the RSO, LARRU and prepare monthly and quarterly progress report in terms of physical and financial progress. In addition, the monitoring process will also look into the communication and reactions of APs; use of grievance procedures; information dissemination to APs on benefits; and implementation time table. The monthly internal monitoring reports based on the outcome of consultations and feedback with displaced people who have received assistance and compensation and review of progress of other implementation activates including complains/concerns/issues raised by the APs, will be submitted to PIU by the end of 1st week of the subsequent calendar month. The progress report will be reviewed by the CE, PIU and comments if any, will be communicated to LARRU for immediate action.

150. A copy of the quarterly report will be made available to ADB. In view the significance of resettlement impacts, the monitoring mechanism for this project will have both monitoring by LARRU and monitoring by an external agency / expert.

C. External Monitoring 151. An external monitoring agency will be recruited by the EA under ADB financing. The team will be composed of a team leader experienced in resettlement and land acquisition, and three key experts, in additional to support and field staff. The external monitoring will include but not limited to: (i) assess the RPs’ implementation and compliance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009); (ii) review and verify the monitoring reports prepared by LARRU; (iii) monitor the work carried out by NGO and provide training and guidance on implementation; (vi) review the grievance redressal mechanism and report on its working; (v) mid-term impact assessment through sample surveys amongst displaced persons for midterm corrective action; (vi) consultation with APs, officials, community leaders for preparing review report; (vii) assess the resettlement efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency of LARRU, impact and sustainability, and drawing lessons for future resettlement policy formulation and planning. Some of the important task of external monitoring is the feedback of the APs who receives compensation and assistance and also alerts on the risks, non-compliances and early warnings in the implementing. Terms of reference for the recruitment of an External Monitoring Agency/Expert is given in Appendix-6
