Bi-Annual Monitoring Report (Jul-Dec 2019)

1. INTRODUCTION

1. This is the Bi-annual monitoring report on involuntary Resettlement for (July- December 2019) covering works needed to be monitored identified IR issues in DDR August 2017 for 6 subprojects and DDR July 2018 for three additional provincial road sections: (i) road from Jahan Khan to FaizuLarro via Chak town, (29.1 km connecting N- 65 with N-55); (ii) road from Sehwan to Dadu (32 km); and (iii) road from Tando Allahyar to Chambar (19 km). 2. For this purpose, frequent field visits along with field staff of Supervision Consultants were undertaken from July to December 2019 to assess if project impacts are avoided based on design changes and if there are emerging IR issues during implementation. For this purpose all the 9 subproject roads were visited. 3. Public consultations with communities living around LAR areas and in project area were held with 36 shopkeepers and local people to seek their views on construction /rehabilitation of project roads. Meetings were also held with local residents of three additional roads to discuss probable project impacts and their mitigation measures. 2. STATUSOF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AT THE TIME OF FIELD VISIT 4. The progress of construction works up to December 2019 in all the 6 sub-projects and three additional roads is given below which are at different stages of implementation. ICB-01: Thull to Kandhkot Section (44.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-02: Sheranpur to Ratodero Section (36.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 96% ICB-03: Khyber to Sanghar Section (64.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-04: Sanghar to Mirpurkhas Section (63.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-05: Tando Muhammad Khan to Badin Section (67.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-06: Digri to Naukot Section (54km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-07: LOT-1 Tando Allahyar- Chamber Road (18KM) Construction Work is in progress ICB-07: LO-2 Sehwan- Dadu (32KM) Construction Work is in progress ICB-07: LOT-3 Jahan khan to FaizuLarro (29.1 KM) Construction Work is in progress

3. IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSTRUCTION ADJUSTMENTS TO AVOID IR IMPACTS 5. It has been observed that construction works in the encroached areas of Package- 1 sub-projects Thull to Kandhkot, Pacakage-2 Sheranpur and Package-6Digri to Naukot have been fully completed by effectively avoiding IR impacts as identified in DDR August 2017. 6. In Tando Jan Muhammad built up area of Package-6 sub-project Digri-Naukot road number of illegally extended portions of shops (encroachments) were demolished by the District Administration Mirpurkhas, Government of Sindh under its anti- encroachment drive, as per order of Supreme Court of Pakistan. Construction work has been completed, monitoring Team observed that the contractor has strictly followed the approved design of 7.3 meters of carriageway throughout the built up

area of Tando Jan Muhammad Bazaar. In this connection Special Due Diligence Report was prepared as required by ADB Mid-term Review Mission (MTR) and has been submitted to ADB. 4. INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON ADDITIONALSUB-PROJECTS 7. Construction activities have been started on proposed additional three sub- projects 8. On LOT-1 road Tando Allahyar To Chamber subproject, available road width was measured which is found11.30 meter throughout the road section with an exception of 10.5 m at village Fazul Mandri chainage10+500 where a mosque is located at the edge of road. Damage to the mosque has been avoided by reducing shoulders by about 0.40 m on both sides. 9. On LOT-2 Dadu-Sehwan road, available road width is sufficient for the main carriageway i.e. 7.3 meters particularly in local bazaar areas while at other bazaar areas more than 7.3 meters was available. However, At Wada Manhayoon town chainage 16+873 and chainage 17+00 only 7.0 to 8.5 m width is available. Therefore, the width of carriageway is reduced to 5.5m to avoid any IR impacts. At chainage18+500 available carriageways width is just 6.0 m where a bridge and a shrine are located. The widening of bridge to be made on left side of the existing bridge, where sufficient land is available within ROW. 10. On LOT-3 Jahan Khan to Faizu Larro subproject, available road width is sufficient for the main carriageway i.e. 7.3 meters.

11. The three additional sub projects roads generally have sufficient available ROW (110 ft.) for the proposed civil works; the Executive Engineers of Provincial Highways Works and Services Department have confirmed (See Annexure-C). The construction limit for embankment on either side comprises maximum of 7.3 m (24 ft.) carriageway with 3.0 m (6.5 ft.) shoulders on either side total 13.3 m (37 ft.) to avoid the resettlement impact. However, there are 18 road sections where proposed work has been designed to avoid causing any impacts to the encroaching structures. 12. The observations and preliminary impact assessment findings for Additional sub project Roads are summarized below in Table-1.

7. OTHER SOCIAL ISSUES: IMPAIRED OR RESTRICTED ASSESS 16. During the field visit it was observed and confirmed by conducting interviews with local community that mobility of the local residents particularly of women and children and their livestock was not affected during construction activities such as excavation and dumping of construction materials due to excavation or dumping. 8. CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSUREOF INFORMATION

 Consultation meetings with 36 participants were carried out during the period from January 2019 to July 2019. Almost all the people consulted are very much satisfied with the widening and rehabilitation of roads. List of participants and their comments is given in Annexure-A.

 Transportation cost of Agriculture production has been reduced resulting in increase in Income

 Access to hospitals and educational institutions become comparatively more easy as it was very difficult to reach hospitals before improvement of road net work

 Business opportunities have been opened up; previously travelers never stop to take food or tea due to dust and other environmental hazards. Due to construction of Road network dust and other problems have been eliminated. Therefore, new tea stalls and restaurants started opening. 9. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM  In compliance of ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009, the main functions of the GRM as per DDR are:  Provide a mechanism to the local people on problems arising as a result of project activities,  Record the grievance of the APs, categorize and prioritize the grievances that need to be resolved, and  Report to the aggrieved parties about the developments regarding their grievances and the decision of the project authorities.  The project management will adopt a policy of preventing grievances rather than going through a redress process. This will be achieved through careful development of the compensation procedure and its implementation, by ensuring full participation and consultation with the people by maintaining effective communication and coordination between the communities. 17. A Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)has been established under Deputy Director (Safeguards Quality Control) of PMU, as chairman assisted by Executive Engineer, SPRIP (Upper Division), Executive Engineer, SPRIP (Lower Division), Assistant Engineer-SPRIP, Resettlement Specialist PMC and Environmental Specialist PMC the Social Complaint Register (SCR) is maintained at all the six work sites.

9.1. FUNCTIONING OF GRM LGRC is operational under GRM and all its members are performing their tasks very effectively for quick resolution of complaints and queries. The field staff of supervision consultants is in close cooperation with the local people at site of work, they also receive and process the complaints and queries from the people including all stake holders and resolve the issue with the guidance of Resettlement Specialist and the members of LGRC.

In October 2019 ADB received requests from Social Reformer Mr. Abdul Ghafoor Siyal , regarding following issues on LOT-2 Sehwan Railway Crossing (N-55) To Dadu via Talti up to Dadu-Moro Road Section (32Km).

i. No proper usage quality material in construction of water-course Bridge/(s) of this road ii. No proper cutting & expansion of embankments iii. Technical issues of culverts have also raised iv. No proper planning how to use approved material i.e. gravel & bricks v. Material over dumping i.e. soil/gravel causing to be effecting the compaction standards layer to layer vi. Pre-selected lands whose soil samples collected for Lab-testing after such materials is useable for earthwork but those site still which are being selected randomly wherefrom no samples are collected for lab-test so same non-tested material is brought to use for earthwork vii. Random selection of different kind of soils are being effected directly to the quality of earthwork

A meeting of LGRC was conveyed on 25-10-2019 @3pm at PMU office Hyderabad Sindh. A prompt action was taken by LGRC and resolved the demands of complainant Mr. Abdul Ghafoor Siyal to his entire satisfaction.

Mr. Abdul Ghafoor Siyal was fully satisfied with the outcome of the meeting & thanked the committee for prompt response to his complaints. (Annexure-D)

9.2. OBSERVATION / FINDING  The local people said that the contractor’s Project Manager, Field Consultants, RS and PMU field Staff are cooperative and they have successfully avoided any impact over their personal and business activities. However 5 complaints on ICB-01 and 02 have been received regarding mobility of customers and females, which were satisfied by the contractor’s staff through proper management of work activity. In addition six (06) queries regarding completion time of individual activity, working hours, completion of project were received which were satisfied by the consultants field staffs.

10. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Bi-Annual Monitoring Report (Jul-Dec 2019)

 Based on observations and consultations conducted during the field visit, the following conclusions can be derived:

 Contractors are doing construction works in compliance with recommended mitigation measures as provided in the DDR .No damage to shops or other properties was found during field visit , similarly no traffic accident was reported by the shopkeepers and other community people due to proper safety measures adopted by the contractors..

 Public consultations and information disclosure meetings created awareness and confidence regarding their fundamental rights to express their reservations regarding any shortfalls they observe in implementation of the project. People were very much convinced and satisfied with the disclosure process.

Based on these conclusions, the following are recommended

 There is still a risk of accidental damages to road side structures i.e. shops, residential houses and religious or community structures during operation phase and for the remaining construction period. Continuous monitoring during construction phase and for the remaining construction work and the mitigation measures as described in the DDR is still required.

 To ensure that contractors implement the design adjustments in the remaining road sections, and measures to avoid/reduce risk of accidental damage as provided in the DDR, PMU should send a reminder communication to all contractors to ensure their compliance to the measures in the DDR;

 PMU in cooperation with PMC monitoring grievance redress process, ensure continuous liaison with Grievance Focal Points as well as PMU, and regularly inform ADB on actions taken on received complaints, their status and constraints in resolving those complaints if any..

 Lastly, it is recommended that the next monitoring report will be submitted to ADB for review on July 2020.The monitoring report will (i) review the implementation of the design adjustments and mitigation measures as provided in the DDR; (ii) identify any emerging IR issues in the remaining civil works under the project; (iii) review the implementation of the recommendations cited in Para 23; (iv) assess the consultation, information dissemination and grievance redress mechanism under the project; and (v) recommend corrective action plan, if needed.

11. MONITORING PLAN 19. The monitoring plan and its institutional requirements have been included in table below. The table identifies the effects of the construction of different project components on various social parameters. It also spells out mitigation/enhancement actions.
