1.6 INSTITUTIONAL ASSESSMENT

The ID team assessed the institutional capacity of TMA Lodhran for accomplishment of mandatory functions as per PLGO 2001 in general and of (I&S) office for execution of proposed development sub-projects in particular. Based on discussions with the respective TMA staff, the FAR includes the proposed Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for each TMA office.

1.6.1 Tehsil Nazim

Profile Syed Asghar Shah Gillani is a graduate of Government Science College Wahdat Road Lahore. Afterwards he did his LLB from the University of the Punjab in 1981. He is a member of the Lahore High Court Bar Association. He became secretary of the Lahore High Court Bar Association in 1987. It was then that he decided to join politics and became a member of Zila Council in 1997. He has twice been elected as Nazim of his Union Council. During his membership of Zila Council, he also became the member of the District Public Safety Commission and Bait-ul-Maal. He is serving as the first elected president of Local Government Association established with the assistance of Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

Vision Mr. Asghar Shah told the ID team that efforts have been made for the uplift of Tehsil Lodhran in the past but unfortunately these efforts turned out to be futile. After assuming the office of the Tehsil Nazim, his top priority was to bring a positive change in his area. He identified roads, sewerage and encroachment as main problems of the TMA. He informed the team that efforts were being undertaken with the assistance of the district government to address these problems. He expressed high hopes about the role of PMDFC in the development of TMA Lodhran.

1.6.2 TMO Office TMO is the focal person in TMA Lodhran. He is also the Principal Accounting officer of TMA. His responsibilities include coordination of activities of all Tehsil offices and execution of sanctioned policies of TMA Lodhran. Mr. Amjad Mehmood Jajja is the TMO.

Staff position in TMO Office S.No Post Sanctioned Strength Existing Strength 1 Tehsil Municipal Officer 1 1 2 Project Assistant 1 1 3 Sanitary Promoters 1 1 4 Record Keeper 1 1 5 Typist 1 1 6 Imam Masjid 1 1 7 Driver 1 1 8 Naib Qasid 1 1 9 Chowkidar 6 6

Staff position at TMO office is satisfactory.

During the field appraisal, ID team discussed the following issues related to the office of TMO:

1.6.2.1. Complaint Cell TMA maintains a complaint register to keep track of reported complaints. The record comprises written, telephonic and verbal complaints. The TMA staff reported that they get most of the complaints verbally and the same are entered in the complaint register later on. TMA has no complaint disposal reporting mechanism from TO to TMO, but TMO does regular inspection of the register. Presently, some complaints are not being entered and improvements are needed to overcome the problem. . PMDFC has provided standard Complaint Register to all PMSIP TMAs. It is expected to effectively streamline the Complaint Tracking System.

1.6.2.2. Dissemination of Information TMA Lodhran does not have a website to display its achievements, goals, infrastructure development or to elicit public response or feedback. Like other TMAs, there is no reporting system between the TMA and the Provincial Government. Annual budget is the only way of information forwarded to the Provincial Government. Because of its inadequate institutional capacity, TMA

needs constant overseeing by the Provincial Government. A watchful Provincial Government can ensure better performance from TMAs. The monitoring system for the Provincial Government under PMSIP shall be a great help in this regard. The proposed TMA website under PMSIP is expected to be a good information dissemination tool for TMA.

1.6.2.3. Performance Management System PMDFC is introducing Performance Management System in Year – I TMAs. Core indicators for municipal services provided by TMAs have already been selected in consultation with TMAs through workshops and meetings. Baseline values of the core indicators are being collected. ID team reviewed the progress of base line values. Core indicators such as Road rating and consumer survey of park needed clarifications and were further discussed with the TMA staff. Record keeping of other core indicators was also checked.

1.6.2.4. Community Driven Development A very important feature of the Devolution Plan is the participation and involvement of non-elected citizens in the development process in their respective local areas. The institutional arrangements for the attainment of this objective are provided through CCBs. Section 98 of PLGO 2001, encompasses the objectives, composition and scope of CCBs as under: “In every local area, groups of non-elected citizens may, through voluntary, proactive and self-help initiatives, set up any number of Citizen Community Boards. Such Citizen Community Boards shall be set up for the purposes of, inter alia, energizing the community for development and improvement in service delivery, development and management of a new or existing public facility, identification of development and municipal needs, mobilization of stakeholders for community involvement in the improvement and maintenance of facilities. …………..”

A TMA is bound to set apart 25% of its development budget for allocation to CCBs. The unspent CCB allocation in a financial year cannot be expended on any other development or non- development activity. The unspent CCB balance continues to accumulate and becomes available for CCB allocation in the next financial year. A TMA can provide up to 80% funds for a CCB scheme and the remaining 20% are to be arranged by CCB itself.

In spite of this convenient availability funds for development, citizens are not making best of this opportunity. Apart from reluctance of citizens to provide 20% matching funds, the laborious and cumbersome CCB rules and non-proactive attitude of the concerned local government staff are partly responsible for substantial under-utilization of development funds available through this innovative, participatory, pro-citizens development initiative.

The Government of the Punjab, being cognizant of this issue, has taken up the matter with National Reconstruction Bureau (NRB). PMDFC shall also facilitate the citizens in PMSIP partner TMAs to take up CCB schemes through its Social Mobilization Consultant.

The total number of CCBs in TMA Lodhran is 56. The details of year-wise allocation of funds for CCBs are as under:

Sr. Year Allocation Total Expenditure Un-Spent No. Available Balance 1 2001-02 - - - 2 2002-03 - - - 3 2003-04 7,921,890 7,921,890 - 7,921,890 4 2004-05 10,000,000 17,921,890 - 17,921,890 5 2005-06 7,504,843 25,426,733 540,000 24,886,733 6 2006-07 11,750,000 36,636,733 - 36,636,733

ID team met general secretary of Citizen Community Ittehad, an NGO and discussed issues related to CCBs in Lodhran. He said few good projects were completed last year including a Solid Waste Management project and another forthcoming project is beautification of Main Road (Multan- 7

Bahawalpur) passing through Lodhran. He was of the view that CCBs were having problems in initiating CCB schemes. He was of the view that procedures of initiating CCBs were difficult and lengthy and there should be a dedicated cell in the TMA to deal CCBs to facilitate CCBs.

1.6.2.5. Monitoring Committees

Tehsil Council Lodhran has constituted following Monitoring Committees:

S.No Monitoring Committee Number of Members Date of Formation 1 Tehsil Accounts Committee 5 2 Tehsil Finance Committee 5 3 Tehsil Insaf Committee 5 4 Tehsil Planning Committee 5 5 Tehsil Infrastructure & Services Committee 6 6 Tehsil Code of Conduct Committee 5 1-03-06 7 Tehsil Regulation Committee 5 8 Tehsil Sports Committee 5 9 Tehsil Women Welfare Committee - 10 Tehsil Action Committee 5 11 Tehsil Purchase Committee 5 12 Tehsil Agriculture Committee 5 13 Tehsil Monitoring Committee 5

1.6.2.6. Computer Trainings Field assessment of TMA Lodhran reveals that there is a dearth of I.T skills in the TMA. PMDFC is of the view that I.T training for TMA staff will be an important step towards the computerization of office records and will result in efficient office automation systems. Analysis of data will become easy and errors in record keeping would decrease to a considerable extent. Moreover, I.T skills are also essential for PMSIP interventions like Financial Management System, Complaint Tracking System etc.

PMDFC aims to develop the human resource base of its partner TMAs and considers improvement in service delivery inconceivable without a strong human resource base. TMA staff with right skills set can be expected to provide timely, cost-effective and reliable services to citizens.

In view of the above and on the request of TMA Lodhran for basic computer training for its staff ID team visited two computer training institutes namely Lodhran Public School and Millat College Lodhran.

Lodhran Public School has been selected for providing basic computer training to TMA staff.

PIPs for TMO Office:

After in-depth discussions, the following Performance Improvement Plan is proposed for the office of TMO in TMA Lodhran. These interventions are envisioned for the first year and further capacity interventions would be initiated in the subsequent years provided TMA qualifies for PMSIP funding in year two and onward.

PIP Tasks PMDFC Interventions Performance Indicators (i) Citizens’ • Provide standard Complaint • Number of complaints complaint cell Register. tracked • Provide Standard Operating

1.7 TOWN PLANNING

Like all TMAs in Punjab the very concept of Town planning is nonexistent in TMA Lodhran. TMA is not equipped for carrying out spatial plans, plans for land use and zoning, the functions entrusted to it under section 54 of PLGO.

The office of TO (P) is very crucial office in TMA setup. It has been allocated the following business:

1. Prepare spatial plans for the tehsil/town in collaboration with Union Administrations including plans for land use and zoning; 2. Exercise control over land use, land sub-division, land development and zoning by public and private sectors for any purpose including agriculture, industry, commerce, markets, shopping and other employment centres, residential, recreation, parks, entertainment, passenger and transport freight ,and transit stations; 3. Building control; 4. Execute and manage development plans; 5. Develop and manage schemes including site development in collaboration with District Governments and Union Administrations; 6. Compile information provided by Union and Village Councils of prioritized projects in the tehsil/town; and 7. Maintain municipal records and archives.

Detail of Posts in Planning Office (TMA-Lodhran)

S.No Staff Sanctioned Strength Existing Strength 1 Tehsil Officer (P) 1 1 2 Sub-Engineer 1 1 3 Building Inspector 1 1 4 Junior Clerk 1 1 5 Naib Qasid 2 2 6 Driver 1 0 Total 7 6

The Planning office of the TMA has a total of 7 sanctioned posts, out of which 6 are filled. A qualified TO (P&C) is in place. He has taken a course in GIS and is keenly interested in planning exercise being developed by PMDFC for PMSIP. Although most of sanctioned posts are filled but there are no draftsman or a tracer posts in TMA Lodhran that are essential for drawing activities of planning office.

Mapping A comprehensive mapping exercise under Geographic Information System has been undertaken in Lodhran by PMDFC. TMA has a base map that needed updation as well as maps on which utilities are marked. CIDA has also developed District map of Lodhran. PMDFC started capacity building of TMA Lodhran in this regard with the procurement of GIS image of Lodhran. Base maps of road network, water supply, SWM have been developed. Descriptive maps would be developed during the PMSIP planning process. These would include: road network, water supply, sewerage and solid waste management. Additional maps that would be developed include: Union Council Boundary map, Mohallah map, Road Condition map, Street Light map etc.

The exercise would enable TMA staff to use state of art GIS technology and get first hand experience with techniques of data collection and data analysis.

Building Control For building control activities residents submit requests with a plan and other requisite documents. Building inspector visits the site and checks if the plan is according to the site/ location. There is a requirement that residents after completion of their buildings get a completion certificate from planning office, TMA, but it rarely occurs. There is need of such mechanism that residents have to get the completion certificate. All the records are manually maintained. The details of the building plans and fee collected are as under: Year Total Plans Residential Plans Commercial Plans Total Received Submitted Received Approved Received Approved Amount (Rs) 2002-3 169 64 64 68 47 617,105 2003-4 146 95 62 51 40 586,761 2004-5 112 65 55 47 36 544,761 2005-6 133 92 85 36 36 695,819

Plan Development

Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has recently developed a Tehsil development plan for Lodhran. For the said plan a few urban councils were taken as samples. Since CIDA plan doesn’t encompass detailed infrastructure needs of the whole town, planning process under PMSIP would be initiated in Lodhran.

Present situation of plan development in Lodhran:

Qualified TO Planning Yes Spatial Planning Spatial plan No Land use map No Zoning map No Base map Yes Development Planning Development Plan No Annual Development Planning and Budgeting Annual Development Program and Budget Yes Prepared with UC and TMC input No Prepared with regard to data base No Presence of data base or data collection No Long term Annual Development Programming and Budgeting Long term Dev. Program and Budget No

One of the functions of TO (P) in PLGO is managing coordination activities and CCB schemes; liaison with neighbouring Tehsils and Union councils; support to Union Councils. At the moment, coordination in development activities in Tehsil is quite slow. PIPs for TO(P) Office The following two PIP interventions have already been undertaken at TMA Lodhran.

PIP Tasks PMDFC Interventions Performance Indicators

(i)Setting up of GIS, • PMDFC arranged satellite images • Basic maps prepared mapping of services and of the TMA. • Database of infrastructure developed developing a database of • PMDFC developed standard and thematic maps prepared.

PIP Tasks PMDFC Interventions Performance Indicators services. formats for services data collection. • PMDFC will provide necessary training to TMA staff on mapping services on TMA maps. • PMDFC will provide necessary training to TMAs for developing the services database. (ii) Preparation of action plan • PMDFC will arrange data • Number of development / capacity collection, analysis and projects to be executed out of prioritisation of development prioritised list. projects.

1.8 TO(R) Office

The office of TO (R) is extremely crucial in TMA setup. Its duties include to regulate market & services; issue licences, permits, grant permissions & impose penalties for violation thereof; management of municipal lands, estates, properties, facilities, assets & enterprises vested in TMA. It is also responsible for enforcement of municipal laws, rules and by-laws governing the functioning of TMA. Prevention of encroachments on public lands and places; prosecution and follow up of criminal, civil and recovery proceedings and regulation of affixing of signboards and advertisements are some other important functions of Tehsil office Municipal Regulation.

Staff position in TO(R) Office S.No Post Sanctioned Strength Existing Strength 1 TO (R) 1 1 2 Taxation Officer 1 1 3 Parokar 1 1 4 Junior Clerk 3 3 5 Naib Qasid 3 3 6 Legal Advisor 1 1

Staff positioning in regulation office is satisfactory as per sanctioned posts. But more posts may be needed after fully implementing the ticketing system mentioned below.

Ticketing System By amendment in PLGO in June, 2005 TMAs have been empowered to introduce ticketing system for municipal offences specified in Eighth Schedule. There is an incentive package in the ticketing system. Twenty-five percent of fine proceeds go to the collecting inspector; 25 % to Regulation office maintenance and remaining 50 % to TMA. The same incentives have been provided to inspectors from fine proceeds imposed by courts in offences specified in Fourth Schedule. TMA Lodhran has recently initiated Ticketing System.

Legal Cases Currently, 14 legal cases are pending in civil, district and High Court. TMA has a legal advisor who works on behalf of TMA and is assisted by a parokar (clerk).

The details of the legal cases with TO(R) are as under:

New cases Cases disposed Cases in Cases Previous Total Pending Sr # Year in current of during the favour of against Cases Cases Cases year current Year TMA TMA 1 2005-06 14 - 14 - 14 - - 2 2006-07 14 1 15 1 14 - 1

In consultation with TO (R) staff, the following Performance Improvement Plan is proposed for the office of TO (Regulation) in TMA Lodhran. This intervention is envisioned for the first year and subsequent capacity interventions would be initiated after progress of capacity projects in the TMA subject to the continuous eligibility of TMA for PMSIP funding in subsequent year.

Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)

FY. • advertisement and signboards • %age increase in revenue • Licenses and permits compared with last FY. • Municipal estates and properties

1.9 TO (F) OFFICE

Currently there is no TO (F) in TMA Lodhran. TMA accountant is performing the duties of TO (F) untill a new TO (F) is appointed. TMA is currently maintaining its books of account manually. There is a scope for computerized accounting software which will enhance the working capacity of TMA. TO (F) office is currently maintaining its budget in MS Word and Excel which causes discrepancies in the figures. If the staff is properly trained in MS Excel that will reduce the number of errors in the budget and will give accuracy in the budget figures.

Law requires that no local govt. can pass a deficit budget. The intention is to provide built in mechanism for fiscal efficiency. This constraint forces a local govt. to either raise revenue or to economize in expenditure or to do both. In general a local govt. has to remain within its fiscal limits. Position in respect of TMA Chakwal is as under:

2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 Financial Position Surplus Surplus Surplus

Above position indicates that TMA is following the law that also reflects a certain level of fiscal efficiency.

Budget formulation, execution and monitoring: TMA staff is conversant with the budget formulation process but relies predominantly on the historical data for future projections. Reportedly, the staff faces no problems in the execution of budgets. Monitoring committees are in place and audit is conducted. More authenticity and transparency needs to be added by introducing printed budget copies.

The following table summarizes the receipts and expenditures of TMA:

Sources of Funds 2005-06 2006-07 Taxes 23,006,200 25,010,200 Fee 8,877,022 13,800,354 Rents & Rates 14,435,000 18,003,560 Other Income 12,455,000 40,219,313 Sub Total 58,773,222 97,033,427 Non Development Grants 20,704,000 Development Grants 19,000,000 35,000,000 Sub Total 39,704,000 57,774,400 Total 98,477,222 54,807,827 Expenditures Non Development Expenditures Establishment 22,000,000 23,000,000 Charged 810,000 860,000 Water Supply - O & M Cost 320,000 340,000 Street Lights 415,000 415,000 Other Contingencies 5,026,000 6,537,000 Sub Total 28,571,000 31,152,000 Development Expenditure 71,217,485 117,556,733 Sub Total 71,217,485 117,556,733 Total 9,788,485 148,708,733

The above figures are depicting healthy and consistent increase in TMA revenues over the years. The TMA own source revenues are increasing , whereas, govt. grants are consistent.

The non development expenditures are revealing substantial increase in establishment. However, TMA own source revenues are also increasing to mitigate such factor.

TMA development expenditures have declined in 2005-06 primarily due to less development schemes as compare to last years.

Recommendations

The PMDFC can intervene in following activities to assist TMA:

1. Training for TMA staff in finance, accounts, budget and IT. 2. Developing computerized accounting system for TO (F). 3. Assist in reconciling WAPDA dues with deductions by Provincial Government form UIPT. 4. Can conduct surveys to identify new sources of revenue and increasing in existing revenues. 5. Analysis of difference between LGO and existing practice followed in TMAs for bookkeeping rules and filling up this gap. 6. Providing computers and peripherals for TO (F) office.

Staff positioning in the TMA is satisfactory with a very experienced TO(I&S) from Local Council Services.

The appraisal brought out that there was a shortage of technical equipments like surveying equipments, lab testing equipments, etc.

During discussions, it was revealed that most of I&S staff were willing to receive trainings on computer applications, use of modern technical equipments, and preparation of project documents (designs & estimates).

Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) After detailed discussion with TO (I&S), the following Performance Improvement Plan is proposed.

PIP Tasks PMDFC Interventions Performance Indicators (i) Development of computerized database • PMDFC to help develop data • Number of municipal of municipal services. collection. services for which • PMDFC to provide standard template complete database is in Excel spreadsheets for data developed. analysis and periodic data updates. • PMDFC to provide necessary training for data collection and periodic data update.

2. FIELD APPRAISAL REPORT OF ROADS IN LODHRAN TOWN

2.1 PREFACE

This sub-project Field Appraisal Report (FAR) has been prepared for construction of roads in Lodhran town as proposed by TMA Lodhran.

This report provides an assessment of the present facilities of roads available in the town, the problems and needs of the town, the improvements required, site suitability, preliminary design, environmental and social aspects, operation and maintenance cost of the sub-project, implementation period and its arrangements.

In order to collect primary data PMDFC team visited Lodhran town, inspected the site of roads and had discussions with TMA Officers, Engineers and Nazim.

Keeping in view the needs of the town and site conditions, along with financial position of TMA it is concluded that proposed sub-project is justified. The completion of this sub-project will provide a better transportation facility to the people of this town along with public living in the surrounding areas. The TMA can afford to maintain this sub-project after completion and hence the scheme is sustainable.

2.2 SUB SOIL & GROUND WATER CONDITIONS The town is situated on Multan - Bahawalpur road at about 13 km from river Sutluj. This river has become dry after construction of dam by India on it under Indus water treaty. It has got fresh ground water. The sub soil is clay up to depth of 10 ft, silt up to 30 ft and sand beyond that depth. The plain is alluvial in nature and hence fertile for crops and agriculture. The aquifer of the town is recharged by Lodhran distributary canal and flood water in river Satluj during monsoon season.

2.3 RATIONALE OF THE SUB PROJECT 2.3.1 Existing Situation Lodhran Town is having roads under the control of four different tiers and are described as under (Plan attached at Annexure-B):-

2.3.2 Existing Road Conditions The condition of main Multan-Bahawalpur road (National highway) passing right through the middle of the town is quite good. However the condition of some of the TMA roads is not satdisfactory. The roads are in a much deteriorated condition and at places these are even not visible and there is stagnant rain water in different streets which look like ponds due to which residents of 19

those area have to face difficulties in reaching their homes as well as their places of work . Areas where no road exists, people have temporarily encroached part of the road which has become a hazard for traffic and pedestrians. The condition of all existing roads is given as under:-

Due to existence of all above mentioned activities / location, the construction / improvement of roads at Sr. No. 1, 2 & 3 are utmost necessary. The improvement will result in:- • Smooth flow of traffic • Convenience to the pedestrians • Safe communication facilities • Elimination of encroachment • The improvement / construction remained neglected by TMA in past due to constraint of funds with TMA.

2.5 PROBLEMS

2.5.1 Public Problems Due to absence of footpaths along these roads, the pedestrians have to walk on roads and sides / shoulders are encroached temporarily by most of shopkeepers, vendors, store owner and other commercial centers by placing their merchandise on sideways to give an open exhibition. It is resulting in:- • Inconvenience / walking hazards to pedestrians • Obstructed and slow speed traffic flows • Traffic jams • Accidents

All the roads, which are proposed in this sub project, are either badly damaged or there is no sign of road and look like a muddy track. In the absence of surface drainage due to undulating surface, during monsoon season, residents of this town face severe problems in reaching their workplaces and other important places like school, hospitals, and markets. During field visit most of the roads especially Gala Mandi roads look like ponds as the rains water keeps on standing on these roads due to damaged road surfaces and improper road slopes.

2.5.2 Funding Problems Problems faced by public vehicles and visitors have been fully explained in above section. These roads are required to be improved but TMA is facing shortage of funds. The annual budget of TMA does not allow huge expenditure for this improvement where as GoP is not funding these projects inside the town.

The condition of roads is deteriorating day by day due to increase in commercial and other activities in the town and if not improved at this stage, the complete infrastructure will not be able to cope with traffic and pedestrian requirements.

2.6 IMPROVEMENT REQUIRED WITH JUSTIFICATION

The under mentioned roads need improvement as requested by TMA in their proposal.

(a) Galla Mandi area roads (4 Nos.) Length 7825 Rft (b) Main Bazar Road from Multan- Length 2600 Rft Bahawalpur road to Chowk Talian (c) Karor Pacca road from Sadar Police Length 3960 Rft station to Ice factory Total Length 14385 Rft / 4.4 Km

The following items of works will be involved for this improvement.

• Raising where required • Construction / improvement of cross and longitudinal drainage system • New construction at points where metalling does not exist at present

Without construction / improvement of these roads, it is not possible to provide proper facility of communication system in this town and public will go on facing the inconvenience and difficulties mentioned above. After completion of this improvement, the under mentioned benefits will be accrued:-

• A good communication system will be available to the public, which will improve the environment of the town. • The difficulties and problem faced by pedestrian during movement on roads will be eliminated. • The commercial activities and business in the town will be improved. • Watch and ward and security of public will improve due to streetlight provision. • Vehicle accidents / loss will be reduced. • Maintenance cost of vehicles will be reduced. • Public mental tension, frustration will be minimized. • The town will have a better look.

2.7 THE SUB PROJECT

2.7.1 Description The TMA Lodhran has proposed the improvement of following road segments, which are connected with provincial roads, district roads and populated areas and other important institutions. The importance of these roads along with the need of improvement is given as below. (Key plan is attached at Annexure-B).

A. Main bazaar road Main bazaar has undulated and rough surface which creates problems for the pedestrians visiting this area for shopping. Environment is not good for shopping. Thousands of people daily visit this bazaar as this is the only shopping place of the city. People from surrounding villages also visit this bazaar for purchase of their daily consumable items as well as other needs. There is TST existing on this bazaar but is highly damaged and does not provide a good smooth track to walk on. This is a highly business activity area and is temporarily encroached by vendors. Concrete pavers are proposed in main bazaar by TMA to provide a smooth walking platform for customers as well as for

shop keepers. Keeping in view the shopping needs of the town as well as surrounding villages, construction of main bazaar is a dire need of the town.

B. Galla Mandi Roads There are four roads proposed in Galla Mandi area. All these proposed roads have direct link with Multan-Bahawalpur road and very close to proposed bus-stand at Multan-Bahawalpur road. These roads have grain market, food godowns, some shops and houses. At present this grain market is not working due to improper infrastructure, especially roads. Due to very little traffic on some roads of grain market, people have started encroachment by extending boundary walls of their houses. TMA hopes that construction of these roads will revive business activity of grain market. This will become the only market of its type for huge surrounding areas. At present, all the shops are closed and there are only food go downs. There is movement of heavy trucks and trailers due to presence of these go downs. Mettled surface on these roads is completely deteriorated which cause problem for the movement of traffic and trucks often get stucked due to deteriorated surface. Construction of these roads is necessary to revive the business activities of grain market as well as to provide relief to people residing in these areas.

C. Karor Pacca Road This road has a link with Lodhran bye pass and Multan-Bahawalpur road and can be served as a diversion in case of any emergency in the city. People from villages on Lodhran- Khanewal road use this road to come to Lodhran city. This road has very important buildings on it like police station, District Nazim office, two private surgical hospitals, Girls Degree College, Girls high school, Boys high school, Zila council office, four private schools and academies. Because of all these important buildings, frequent traffic jams occur on this road. Due to these traffic jams, residents of this area as well as people who visit above mentioned offices and school going children who come from all parts of the town face extreme difficulties which result in loss of time. Widening and improvement of this road will result in smooth flow of traffic and people get rid of frequent traffic jams which would result in time saving.

2.7.2 Proposed design for roads The consultants will be engaged to carry out the detailed design for this sub- project. The preliminary design has been carried out by the TMA staff with the help of PMDFC for the above mentioned road segments.

It has been proposed that top surface of all road segments should be TST whereas concrete pavers are considered appropriate for main bazaar. (Typical road sections are attached at Annexure-C). Due to existence of sewerage system on all the proposed roads, gully gratings are proposed at suitable locations to intercept surface runoff particularly during monsoon season.

Concrete pavers have been proposed in the main bazaar to cater the required level of service, keeping in view its importance as the centre point of all the commercial and domestic activities. This type of pavement has been proposed keeping in the view the following characteristics of turf tiles:

• Ready made and durable • Economical, high strength and long life • Skid resistance • Acid and petroleum resistance • Replaceable in case of damage • No curing required, ready to use

The following investigations will be carried out in order to properly design the roads and other ancillary works during the detailed design of the project:

• Soil and material investigations • Condition of sub-base and base course • Horizontal/vertical geometry • Drainage system • Traffic count • Surface conditions

2.7.3 Site Suitability During the site visits, PMDFC staff evaluated the existing site conditions, especially the Right-of- Way (ROW) of the proposed road segments. The findings indicate that the widening and improvement of the road sections would remain within the existing ROW and no issue of land purchase or acquisition will be involved. A few cases of slight temporary encroachments on grain market roads will have to be dealt with. The boundary walls of two houses have protruded the ROW and TMA will have no problem in removal of these walls. As far as main bazaar is concerned there are only temporary encroachments like podiums etc which can be dealt by TMA easily. Adequate space is also available for the construction of storm water drains. 2.7.4 Implementation period The sub-project will be executed in 12 months after the work has been awarded to the contractor. The implementation period has been depicted in Annexure-D. 2.7.5 Proposed detailed design & construction supervision The feasibility study and detailed design will be carried out by the consultants. The execution of the sub-project will be carried out by TO (I & S) of TMA Lodhran by National Competitive Bidding. The implementation will be monitored by resident construction supervision. 2.7.6. Operation & Maintenance implications

A. O & M Plan for Roads Presently no detailed plan for O & M is available with TMA. The proposed plan should set out the activities involved, quantified, cost estimates and supported by an action plan for the complete year, broken down ideally into daily, weekly, and monthly schedules. In the absence of a detailed O&M plan, the finance section is unable to plan and make available funds on a timely basis. This is especially applicable to the periodic maintenance activities. The following section briefly gives proposed plan of action for O&M.

Strategies for the improvement of O&M must address the multiple problems that currently impede O&M. The implementation of proper O&M plan needs the following:

• Establishment of a wing responsible for the O&M only • Preparation of O&M manuals • Monthly and Annual O&M plans • Qualified staff for O&M • The costs of the O&M to appear in the TMA budget & cash flow forecasts • Increase public awareness

To achieve the best value-for-money of the TMA’s scarce resources and the best return on the considerable investment made on the road and drainage network, programmes for operation and maintenance should ensure that the entire road and drainage network is regularly monitored.

The O & M activities can be divided into two major stages, given below:

• Routine activities (at least once a week) • Periodic activities (monthly to yearly)

The above two stages require the following: • Cleaning of roads, and drains • Repair of roads, and drains • Major repairs • Checking and if necessary replacement of tools and equipment

B. O & M Cost for Roads The operation and maintenance costs, after the implementation of the sub-project, will be the primary responsibility of TMA. All the costs in this respect will be borne by TMA, for which they need to allocate a reasonable amount in their budget. TMA will also allocate an amount equivalent to the depreciation cost, to be used for reconstruction of the road once it has completed its design life. It is estimated that the road will need resurfacing after every 8 years and a provision of Rs 200 per sq. ft should be kept for such rehabilitation.

2.7.7 Environmental & social aspects

Roads Initial Environmental Assessment Widening and improvement of road segments with proper drainage system is not only good for sustainability of roads but will contribute to the improvement of the environment. Smooth traffic flows will reduce traffic congestion and in turn reduce both noise and air pollution. This project will also create job opportunities for people living in the surrounding areas of these roads.

There will be an increase in the dust level during the construction stage, but enforcement of mitigation measures, such as described below will reduce the impact:

• Water will be sprinkled frequently on the work site. • Storage material will be located away from community and sensitive receptors. • Hauling trucks will be covered with canvass to avoid emission. • To avoid accidental damage or disturbance to other utilities/service lines the existing utility maps will be consulted. Co-ordination between different utility departments will be maintained to get details of existing utilities before start of work.

The noise pollution will be mitigated by the following measures:

• No construction will be undertaken in the thickly populated residential areas and hospitals during the night. • Construction work near the educational institutes will be minimized before noon. • Contractor will be bound to maintain its machinery regularly. • The disposal of construction debris/solid waste will be the responsibility of the contractor.

Initial Social Assessment It is expected that no land acquisition will be involved, as sufficient Right of way (ROW) is available for the road structure. Only a few cases of temporary encroachments will have to be dealt with as discussed in section 1.7.3

The detailed Environmental and social studies will be included in feasibility report.

The proforma for environmental and social issues and land acquisition is shown at Annexure-E.

2.8 SUB PROJECT COST

The cost of this sub-project has been worked out to be Rs. 47.11 million i/c 5.4% consultant’s charges and 3 % price contingencies and is given at Annexure-F.

2.9 PRIORITIES OF SUB-PROJECTS BY TMA

During field visit and discussions with TMO, Tehsil Nazim and other staff members, it was observed that TMA Lodhran is keen to develop this town. Presently some projects of construction of foot paths and street lighting are in progress. They are trying to get projects of water supply and sewerage from Govt. of Punjab. TMA staff has shown keen interest to work with PMDFC in the sectors of Roads and Solid Waste Management.

2.10 RECOMMENDATIONS

• The Lodhran town is in dire need of this sub project for improvement of transportation, environments, security and safety of its residents. • The sub project is technically feasible and financially viable. • The project is sustainable as TMA is capable to spare the O & M cost from available resources. • No capacity building of TMA is required for this purpose as the maintenance is not so complicated issue.
