Executive Summary Introduction 1. The Government of Pakistan is implementing Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation – Regional Improving Border Services (CAREC-RIBS) Project with financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB). The project aims to (a) modernize Pakistan’s border point infrastructures providing quality border-crossing services including reduced cross-border processing time for passengers and cargo at three Border Crossing Points (BCPs) of Torkham, Chaman and Wagha; (b) improvements of the infrastructure, facilities and equipment at all three BCPs; (c) establishment of Pakistan Land Port Authority (PLPA) and (d) improved knowledge and skills of BCP operating agencies. 2. The sub-project “Torkham BCP” is being implemented in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Resettlement Monitoring is essential part of the resettlement implementation process and this is the first internal “Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report” (SMR) that has been prepared to cover the implementation of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) and Addendum of Torkham BCP. The report describes the disbursement of compensation & allowances to APs, status of land acquisition, status of law cases and resolution of APs issues in accordance with approved LARP and its addendum. The period covered in this report is from 01 January to 30 July 2020. Normally, semiannual monitoring report covers a six-months period but the first SMR covers one month additional with the objective to cover PMU’s exhaustive efforts in reaching out to unwilling and unreachable APs for compensation payment. 3. Construction of Torkham BCP required a total of 59.32 acres of land, comprising of 37.5 acres of communal land, 19.64 acres of private land and 2.18 acres of government owned land. PMU prepared an updated LARP to document the impacts and compensate APs which was approved by ADB on November 2018. In addition to the LARP, an Addendum to LARP was also prepared to document and compensate unanticipated impacts which were not envisaged at the time of preparation of LARP. The Addendum was approved by ADB on 25 September 2019. The status of implementation of LARP and Addendum and status of land availability for construction is presented below together with key issues and PMU’s efforts related to payment of compensation to APs and resolution of their complaints. 4.

Key Issues concerning disbursement of compensation and complaints 10. Following are the key issues of compensation disbursement and complaints. • 3 APs owning 3 structures are still unpaid.
Page 3 of 51 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Regional Improving Border Services (RIBS) Project- Torkham BCP First Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report (internal), January-July 2020
• Out of 3 unpaid APs, 2 APs are refusing to receive compensation due to claim of land ownership of vacant abandoned house although without any valid documents whereas 1 AP is unreachable. • 2 locals have filled complaints through community complaint register placed at Tehsildar Office Torkham. Mr. Raskhid Shah has claimed for non-payment of 5 marla shop at trade terminal and Mr. Shah M. has claimed joint ownership of land with an AP (Mr. Ahmad Nabi s/o Gul Nabi) at passenger terminal.
Efforts made by PMU to reach out to APs to make payments and resolve complaints 11. Multiple meetings and Jirgas have been convened to convince 2 unwilling APs to receive compensation cheques. Their verbal claim of ownership for land under their structure (vacant house) is only reason for refusal to receive compensation. Assistant Commissioner (AC), Landi Kotal has apprised during a meeting in his office on 22 July 2020 that their claim of land ownership is baseless as till to-date, they have not provided any document. He further updated that he is trying to resolve the issue through one to one and jirga negotiations (Copy of AC Landi Kotal is attached at Annex 8). 12. One of the 3 unpaid APs has moved to his village during COVID-19 suspension of business activities at border areas. PMU through AC Landi Kotal office is trying to reach/trace him at his given address, mobile number and through other acquaintances/ neighbor business operators as part of PMU’s exhaustive efforts and formal requirements. In next month, advertisement through local newspaper & local active social media pages and display of banner in the business center (bazar) will be carry out for information dissemination. Compensation of these 3 unpaid APs is on hold until they approach PMU or AC Landi Kotal for payment. 13. Only 02 complaints are under resolution process. PMU through AC Landi Kotal is holding Jirga and one to one meeting with complainants to review their complaint for amicable resolution of their complaints.
Conclusion and Recommendations
14. On the basis of the information provided in this report, following conclusions and recommendations are made regarding full disbursement of compensation to APs and resolution of complaints. • As per LARP, out of total payable compensation Rs. 73.45 million, 66.75 million (91%) has been disbursed to 52 APs (95%) for 72 structures (96%). Only 3 APs (5%) owning 3 structures (4%) are unpaid. • For the payment of these 3 unpaid APs, PMU through AC Landi Kotal office is holding meetings and Jirgas to convince the 2 unwilling APs to receive their compensation cheques as well as trying to reach the 3rd unreachable AP at his given address, mobile number and through other acquaintances/ neighbour business operators as part of PMU’s exhaustive efforts and formal requirements. • PMU will further publish advertisement through local newspaper & local active social media pages and display of banner in the business centre (bazar) for information dissemination to reach/trace 01 unpaid AP. • Two locals have filled complaints through community complaint register. PMU through AC Landi Kotal is holding Jirga and one to one meeting with complainants to review their complaints and reach amicable resolution. • As per Addendum to LARP, total payable compensation amounting to Rs. 12.58 million is still undisbursed. After the ascertainment of land ownership of cement road and between road and nullah, payment of compensation will be disbursed to APs.

1. Introduction
15. Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), as Executing Agency (EA), has started a multi- faceted Border Services Improvement Project (BSIP) with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) to modernize infrastructure and quality services of three Border Crossing Points (BCPs) namely Wagah BCP in Punjab Province, Torkham BCP in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Chaman BCP in Baluchistan Province. These BCPs are used for transit trade with Afghanistan, India and potentially the Central Asian Republics. The objective to implement the project at all three border crossing points is to: i) Construct new infrastructures as import export processing zones, passenger terminal with separate parking areas; ii) Construct integrated administrative office buildings and establishment of Pakistan Land Port Authority (PLPA) iii) Widen approach roads and new multi-approach traffic lanes with checking booths; iv) New equipment such as cargo X-Ray scanning, truck weighing and pedestrian multi entry and exit lane scanning and detection equipment; v) Install new Information and Communication Technology (ICT) hardware and software as part of the transition to a Single Window System (SWS). 16. The sub-project “Torkham BCP” is being implemented in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Torkham BCP to modernize infrastructure and quality services of Torkham Border Crossing Point. Location of Torkham BCP is pointed in Fig 01. Resettlement Monitoring is essential part of the resettlement implementation process and this is the first “Bi-annual Internal Monitoring Report” (IMR) that has been Fig 01 prepared to cover the implementation of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) and Addendum to LARP of Torkham BCP. The report describes the disbursement of compensation & allowances to APs, status of land acquisition, status of law cases and resolution of APs issues in accordance with approved LARP and its addendum. The period covered in this report is from 01 January to 30 July 2020. The month of July has been added to demonstrate PMU’s exhaustive efforts made to compensate remaining 3 unpaid APs.
2. Project Description
17. Total land required for Torkham BCP is 59.32 acres. Out of the total required land, 54 acres is required for Trade Terminal and 5.32 acres is required for Passenger Terminal. Khuga Khel tribe owns most of land in the area along with private/ family ownerships of some land. According to the local traditions, land title cannot be transferred but if the land is required by any department / person, this land can be taken on lease basis with the negotiation of the Jirga1 / locals. PMU prepared the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) in
1 Jirga: Gathering of elders of tribe/tribes to discuss and resolve tribal issues according to local custom.
Page 6 of 51 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Regional Improving Border Services (RIBS) Project- Torkham BCP First Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report (internal), January-July 2020
November 2018 in accordance with ADB SPS 2009 to ensure resettlement impacts are mitigated & managed during implementation phase.
Need, Objectives and Status of Preparation of Addendum
18. During the preparation of original LARP, it was not envisaged that the area along cement road and nullah (rainy channel) will be impacted as efforts were made to avoid existing structures along the cement road and on left edge of nullah. However, during implementation, the road necessitated widening and construction of retaining wall along the nullah. This eventually resulted in impacting a total of, 27 structures that are owned by 28 APs. This situation was not anticipated at the time of LARP preparation and during its updating. Therefore, objective for preparation of Addendum is to document the impact on 27 structures and 28 APs and provide them compensation and other applicable entitlements in accordance approved LARP of Torkham BCP and SPS 2009. The addendum concurred by ADB on 25 September 2020.
3. Scope of Land & Resettlement impact of LARP and Addendum to LARP.
19. According to the approved LARP of Torkham BCP, different types of structures are impacted under the project. In total 75 structures owned by 55 persons are impacted according to approved LARP. At trade terminal area, 54 structures consisting of 07 residential structures and 47 commercial structures (including grocery store, tyre repair shops, saloon, hotels, rooms, weigh stations and petrol pump) are affected. At passenger terminal area, 21 structures / shops are affected, of which only one shop was functional. According to approved LARP, detail of the impacted structures and numbers of APs are described in the following table and full list of APs and impacted structures is annexed at Annex 01.

Efforts to Persuade 2 Unwilling APs
37. Two APs refused to receive compensation of payment of their structures with no good reason. PMU-FBR through AC Landi Kotal made following efforts to persuade these 2 unwilling APs to receive their compensation.
Meetings and Jirgs
38. As per the local dynamics, the notices are generally given in a Jirga (council of elders) or through community representatives’ meetings at AC’s Office (if required). Office of the AC, Landi Kotal, served multiple notices through such Jirga’s and meetings to these APs for resolution of issue (if any) and receive compensation cheques. Although, they attended some of these meetings and keep on refusing to receive compensation cheques. (See copies of 02 MOMs by AC, Landi Kotal at Annex 7). Meeting of AC with APs at their residence 39. Ultimately, they have verbally claimed the ownership of land under their structure (vacant house) without any documentary evidences as a reason for refusal to receive compensation. Assistant Commissioner (AC), Landi Kotal has apprised during a meeting in his office on 22 July 2020 that these 2 APs’ claim of land ownership is baseless as till to-date, they have not provided any document. He also informed that these people just wanted to create undue hurdles against the implementation of such national importance project. He further updated that he is trying to resolve the issue through one to one and jirga negotiations (Copy of AC Landi Kotal is attached at Annex 8).
One Unreachable AP
40. During Covid-19 pandemic, business activities were suspended at border by the Federal Government. Many small kiosk/shop owners moved to their family villages /economically active area to get through this pandemic situation. AP (Abdul Majeed s/o Said Aslam) also moved back to his village. PMU-FBR through AC. Landi Kotal office is carrying out different measures (provided mobile number and his other acquaintances/ neighboring business operators) as formal requirement to reach/trace unpaid AP. In coming month, advertisement through local newspaper and local active social media pages will be uploaded for information dissemination. A banner will also be displayed in the business center (bazzar). AC, Landi Kotal office is hopeful that after these measures, AP (Abdul Majeed s/o Said Aslam) will be reached/traced soon and his compensation cheque will be disbursed.
Status of Clearance of 16.5 acres Private Land at Trade Terminal
41. Initially 16.5 acres of land was considered Army possessed land, for which Army issued NOC to FBR on 25 June 2018 but locals filed writ petitions in courts (claims of ownership). HQ 11 Corps (the local formation of Pakistan Army), on the directions of Military Operations Directorate, GHQ, Rawalpindi, helped in identifying the correct descendants of original land owners, based on revenue record, and facilitated a negotiation between FBR and them. Land
Page 12 of 51 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Regional Improving Border Services (RIBS) Project- Torkham BCP First Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report (internal), January-July 2020 owners presented their final demands, especially the lease amount so issue was resolved and approved in a meeting by Project Steering Committee on 19 February 2020. MOU signed between 04 land owners and PMU-FBR as a result of meeting held between all concerned parties on 28 February 2020 at HQ 11 Corps. Now this 16.5 acres of land is recognized as private land. After demarcation and provision of relevant revenue record (Fard) by the 04 private land owners to PMU-FBR, land lease agreement signed between land owners and PMU-FBR on 01 March 2020. 42. PMU-FBR transferred compensation of all structures & allowances to AC office on 6 Nov. 2018 & 8 Feb. 2019. All APs received their compensation but 7 APs owning 8 structures existed on 7.75 acres out of total 16.5 acres land refused to receive their compensation. One of 7 APs also stopped his 4 employees working at Janullah Weigh Station to receive their livelihood allowances. Since then PMU-FBR through Civil Administration (Assistant Commissioner, Landi Kotal and Tehsildar, Torkham) made numerous efforts to make payment to these APs amicably but they kept on refusing to accept compensation. 43. After the resolution of land ownership issue, the land owners requested PMU-FBR to disburse payment through them as they are the owners of land and these APs of structures are their tenants. Therefore, during month of April 2020, PMU-FBR through AC office disbursed payment of compensation and allowance for 8 structures of 7 APs existed on 7.75 acres out of total 16.5 acres land along with livelihood allowances of 4 employees to 2 nominees (land owners) for further disbursement to these 7 APs and 4 employees. These nominees have further disbursed the pending payments to all APs and employees except 03 APs (see detail paid/unpaid APs in table 7). Numbers of meeting were convened by AC Landi Kotal to convince 02 refusing APs to received their compensation & allowances (pl see detail under heading 5.2). 44. As per the local dynamics, the notices are generally given in a Jirga (council of elders) or through community representatives’ meetings at AC’s Office (if required). The APs were given multiple notices through such Jirga’s and meetings by AC himself and during his field visits. AC Landi Kotal informed APs regarding vacation of site as he mentioned in one of his field visits report on 8 June 2020 along with Additional Assistant Commissioner, “the undersigned told the parties, that till the decision of the court, we will wait to process further into the matter” (Copy of AC field report is at Annex 9). On 22 June 2020, the court also dismissed the writ of Abdul Rahim for ownership of 16.5 acres land and vacated stay on this land (Annex 12). Therefore, as per agreement between PMU-FBR & land owners, 04 owners land were bound to hand over encumbrance free land to PMU-FBR. 45. The owners of land cleared land of all structures under the supervision of district administration & police to avoid any untoward incident on site. The 8 structures of 7 APs were demolished and area was cleared by the Civil Administration. The owners of structures took
Page 13 of 51 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Regional Improving Border Services (RIBS) Project- Torkham BCP First Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report (internal), January-July 2020
the salvage material for their reuse. The owners of land handed over the encumbrance free land to PMU-FBR.
6. Status of Complaints (Law Cases)
46. Affected Persons and locals filed 12 different writ petitions in the Civil & Session Courts, Khyber District. Out of total 12 writs, 9 writs were regarding ownership of part of Army leased land (as considered previously) in import & export terminal against Torkham BCP project. Other 3 writs out of total 12 writs are not against project as 2 writs are relating to dispute between two owners of the petrol station and 1 writ is relating to the dispute of ownership of land between local tribes so these 03 writs are not against project. 47. Due to the exhaustive efforts of PMU-FBR, 2 writs were settled out of court. As a settlement a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed. According to the clause “f” of MOU signed on 28-2-2020 between PMU-FBR & 04 owner of 16.5 acres private land, “land owners to withdraw the cases and litigation from court/s and settle / withdraw all kind of petitions against FBR & NLC”. Resultantly, Mr. Ajeer Ullah (one of owners) filed withdrawn application of his writ and court accepted the same on 11 June 2020 (Annex 10). Haji M. Aslam (another land owner) has also submitted withdrawal application of his writ on 27 June 2020 along with permission to file fresh suit against other people claiming this property and court accepted the same on 21 July 2020 (Annex 11). 48. On 22 June 2020, Mr. Inam Ullah, Civil Judge II, Khyber dismissed writ filled by Abdul Rahim against project for ownership of 16.5 acres land and vacated stay (Annex 12). Additional Session Judge disposed 04 out of 12 writs as same were under trial in civil court. 49. Now practically, only 03 writs are under trial against project. Name of complainant, nature of writs and status is presented in the table below. Please see Annex 13 for detail to- date proceedings and status of writs.

7. Status of Addendum to LARP Implementation (Cement Road)
50. CSC prepared an addendum to LARP Torkham BCP for PMU-FBR to document the newly identified structures along cement road as these structures were not expected to be
Page 14 of 51 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Regional Improving Border Services (RIBS) Project- Torkham BCP First Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report (internal), January-July 2020 impacted during LARP survey These structures have been considered because of the need arises during implementation of the project due to the widening of cement road and construction of retaining wall of nullah. Addendum to LARP is concurred by ADB on 25 September 2019. On 24 June 2020, PMU-FBR transferred an amount of Rs. 12,576,414/- to DC Khyber for further disbursement to APs along cement road as a payment of compensation & allowances of impacted structures (Annex 14). Till to date, no payment has been made but is expected to be disbursed by 31 October 2020. Information related to the number of APs, impacted structures and their compensation & allowance is given in the below table. Table 9: Summary of Impacted Structures and APs of Addendum to Torkham LARP Description of Impacted Structures Quantity Remarks Total Impacted Structures 28 Total no. of APs 27 Total compensation of Structures Rs. 7.031 million Total Allowances Rs. 5.545 million Total compensation of Addendum to Amount transferred to DC Rs. 12.576 million Torkham BCP LARP Khyber on 24-6-2020 51. During the month of February 2020, the process of payment was initiated through Assistant Commissioner (AC), Landi Kotal from already available undisbursed compensation amount after due procedure. But payment was postponed due to local Mashrans / elders’ intervention who made some demands. To resolve the issue of payment, jirga meeting was held on 11 February 2020 under chairmanship of AC, Landi Kotal. In jirga meeting, local Mashrans handed over their written demands. Following are the demands formally submitted by local Mashrans during Jirga meeting. a) Annual %age increment in the amount of Rs. 600/- per truck per annum. b) Demarcation of 432 Kanals land leased between FBR and Tribal community. c) Land under use of Custom, Tehsil Administration, NADRA and Cement Road should be leased with Tribal community. (Tribe is claiming ownerships of land under use by Govt offices at passenger terminal). d) Khuga Khel Tribe will give a solution for the payment of compensation of structures along cement road within a week time.
52. To resolve the issues of local Mashrans / elders, FBR shared the concerns of tribe for annual %age increment in the amount of Rs. 600/- per truck per annum with NLC Terminal operator on 14 April 2020. But NLC turned down the demand in the annual increment of truck fee per annum on 21 April 2020 with the reason that agreement signed with community does not allow any increment in parking fee. NLC further added that the community receives 5% annual increment in the lease rent by FBR. FBR also acknowledges that parking fee is paid from the terminal charges as paid by the vehicles. An increase is only possible if the terminal charges are increased which would cause an increase in cost of doing business. At the same time, the tribe will continue to benefit from higher parking fee as
Page 15 of 51 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Regional Improving Border Services (RIBS) Project- Torkham BCP First Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report (internal), January-July 2020 a result of a prospective increase in the trade volume (i.e. the number of vehicles) due to construction of BCP at Torkham. 53. The other two demands for the lease arrangements of the govt. offices possessed land and cement road are based on ascertainment of ownership by AC office, Landi Kotal. FBR has already requested AC office on 6 March 2020 to ascertain the ownership of this land to resolve the issue. FBR has informed AC office through letter about the above stated status of demands of local Mashrans’ for onward sharing with locals and resolution of ascertainment issues on his end.
8. Section-by-Section Payment and Construction Approach
54. After approval of the LARP, PMU-FBR started disbursement of compensation process through Assistant Commissioner (AC), Landi Kotal. Due to different nature of ownership/ possession of land, PMU-FBR is disbursing compensations as per the land category. After External Monitor (EM) validation of 46.25 acres land at trade terminal and 5.32 acres land at passenger terminal, ADB issued NTP. Therefore, till to date, PMU-FBR handed over 46.25 acres land at trade terminal to contractor and 5.32 acres land at passenger terminal is under process of handing over. Rest of land is on hold until validation by EM and issuance of NTP by ADB. 55. Following is the detail to-date status of payment of compensation according to terminals/types of land, validation by external monitor (EM), ADB issuance of NTP and handing over /on hold of site.
Trade Terminal (54 Acres)
56. 37.5 Acres: Before commencement date of the project, lease agreement was executed between tribal heads & PMU-FBR and accordingly payment of land was made to the tribal heads and payment of compensation & allowances of structures was disbursed to the individual owners (APs) through AC Landi Kotal. This LAR impact free land was validated by EM. ADB issued Notice to Proceed (NTP). Later land handed over to NLC for construction on 20 March 2019. On 24 June 2020, PMU-FBR transferred payment amounting to Rs. 23,152,500 to DC Khyber for further disbursement to Khuga Khel tribe as current annual lease rent with 5% increment for 37.5 acres communal land. 57. 16.5 Acres: Initially 16.5 acres of land was considered Army possessed land, for which Army issued NOC to FBR on 25 June 2018. Locals filed writ petitions in courts (claims of ownership). This issue was resolved in the meeting of Project Steering Committee on 19 February 2020 and MOU signed between 04 land owners and PMU-FBR as a result of meeting held between all concerned parties on 28 February 2020 at HQ 11 Corps. Now this 16.5 acres of land is recognized as private land. After demarcation and provision of relevant revenue record (Fard) by the 04 private land owners to PMU-FBR, land lease agreement was signed between land owners and PMU-FBR on 01 March 2020. In the MOU, owners of land agreed with FBR to allow NLC to start construction activities in the best interest of project before payment of lease rent. 58. During month of April 2020, FBR through AC office made payment of compensation and allowance of 8 structures of 7 APs and 4 employees existed on 7.75 acres out of total 16.5 acres land. Now whole 16.5 acres land is LAR impact free. Out of total 16.5 acres, LAR
Page 16 of 51 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Regional Improving Border Services (RIBS) Project- Torkham BCP First Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report (internal), January-July 2020 free 8.75 acres land (NTP already issued by ADB) was handed over to NLC on 27 September 2019. 59. On 23 June 2020, PMU-FBR disbursed current year annual lease rent payment of private land 16.5 acres amounting to Rs. 48,600,024/- to 04 owners namely, Mr. Mubarak Zeb, Mr. Zeb Khan, Mr. M. Aslam & Mr. Ajeer Ullah. The payment was made through cross cheque and share of each individual is Rs. 12,150,006/-. These 2 out of 4 private owners (as nominees) also received payment of structures on behalf of 7 APs and 4 employees which they were to further disbursed to original APs. These nominees have further disbursed the pending payments to all APs except 03 APs. Numbers of meeting were convened by AC Landi Kotal to convince 2 refusing APs to received their compensation & allowances and efforts are in progress to reach third AP, who has moved back to his family village due to Covid-19 pandemic business suspension. On 22 June 2020, the court also dismissed and vacated stay on this land. Therefore, 4 owners of this land have cleared land of all structures and handed over the encumbrance free land to PMU-FBR. This land is on hold. This LAR impact free land requires validation by EMA.
Passenger Terminal (5.32 Acres)
60. 3.14 Acres: 3.14 acres of private land was owned by 12 different families. Since this land was owned by different families therefore execution of lease agreement took longer time. Ultimately payment of compensation & allowances for structures of APs and lease rent payment disbursed. This LAR impact free land has already been validated by EM. EMR was sent to ADB for concurrence during February 2020 and later revised EMR was submitted on 9 May 2020. ADB concurred EMR on 11 May 2020 and issued Notice to Proceed (NTP) for whole passenger terminal 5.32 acres land on 14 May 2020. This land is under process of handing over to NLC. 61. On 24 June 2020, PMU-FBR transferred an amount Rs. 1,261,811/- to DC Khyber for further disbursement to land owners as current year annual lease rent with 5% increment for 2.04 acres private land out of 3.14 acres at passenger terminal. Current year annual lease rent with 5% increase for remaining 1.1 acres out of 3.14 acres is due in August 2020. 62. 2.18 Acres: Currently, 2.18 acres of land is under use of different government departments (NADRA, Tehsil Administration, Custom & Mosque). These offices need to be shifted to the transition buildings according to the project transition plan. Local Mashrans are claiming that this 2.18 acres of land is communal and demanded lease agreement to be made with them. PMU-FBR requested AC office on 6 March 2020 to ascertain ownership of 2.18 acres land possessed by govt. offices.
Cement Road (Addendum to LARP)
63. CSC prepared an addendum to document the newly impacted structures along cement road and submitted to PMU-FBR on 11 September 2019. After concurrence of ADB on 25 September 2019, payment process was initiated on 14 January 2020 but local Mashrans intervened and demanded a %age of compensation amount as a share for tribe and ownership of width of the cement road and Right of Way (ROW) between road and nullah. Due to controversial view point of Mashrans, AC Landi Kotal postponed the distribution of cheques to APs. AC office is in communication with local Mashrans to settle the issue amicably. FBR
Page 17 of 51 Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Regional Improving Border Services (RIBS) Project- Torkham BCP First Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report (internal), January-July 2020
requested AC office to ascertain ownership of the cement road land. Therefore, this land is on hold till the resolution of issues and payment to APs. 64. Due to the above-mentioned reasons and background information, payment to all APs of structures and land lease rent payment was not possible in a single go therefore this section wise process is carried out. A linear map is prepared to show the LAR impact free areas (Annex 15). PMU-FBR is doing its best to make compensation to all APs.
9. Local Employment as a Livelihood Restoration Strategy
65. According to ADB SPS 2009, members of local communities are required to be employed by contractor as semi and unskilled workers as livelihood restoration strategy. A total of 71 semi & unskilled workers are employed by contractor (NLC) and sub-contractor of NLC. Out of total 71 semi & unskilled workers of NLC and sub-contractors, 55 workers are residents from neighboring communities (Annex 16).
10. Public Consultation & Information Disclosure
66. Public consultation & information disclosure is a continuous process throughout the project life cycle. Due to present Covid-19 pandemic, public consultations meetings in person are restricted but PMU-FBR field team and AC Landi Kotal office is using virtual consultation through given mobile numbers and WhatsApp. Locals and APs were updated regarding project information, complaint filling and resolution mechanism. Due to low literacy rate, other virtual means like emails is not useful.
11. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)
67. To resolve the issues and complaints during implementation of project, Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) and Jirga Committee of Torkham BCP have been established which are functioning well so far. A community complaint management register (CCMR) is also placed at Torkham Tehsil office. During the reporting period, no new complaint received through community complaint register. 68. To date, in total 64 complaints received through community complaint register placed at Tehsil office, Torkham. All of these complaints were regarding payment of structures, land or privacy (“Chardar and Char Dewari”). These complaints were thoroughly reviewed and discussed with relevant stakeholders. PMU- FBR resolved 62 out of 64 complaints through Jirga and AC office. External Monitor verified resolution of these 62 complaints in his External Monitoring Report of July - December 2019. 69. During report period, only 02 are under resolution process.
