CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Planning is a part of Punjab’s local government system with the planning responsibilities of TMAs, set out in PLGO. Under the devolved system, the newly created office of TO (P) has the following functions; (i) develop plans; (ii) develop and apply building controls; (iii) manage CCBs; (iv) implement commercialization rules; (v) operate Punjab Housing Development Schemes; (vi) develop site development schemes. In addition, the PLGO identifies the preparation of spatial plans (Article 54 (a)), development plans (Article 54 (c)) and budget plans, long term and Annual Development Programs (Article 54(j)) as key functions of the TMAs. Unfortunately, in majority of TMAs TO (P)) office has not been able to perform as envisioned in the PLGO. Some of the reasons are inadequate staff and lack of up-to- date maps, equipment, management/ regulation/ and enforcement mechanisms. As a result, development works are taking place in a piecemeal manner and lack integrated and coordinated approach.

1.2 Punjab Municipal Service Improvement Project (PMSIP)

Under these circumstances the Government of Punjab launched Punjab Municipal Service Improvement Project (PMSIP) through Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC) .The project aims at the institutional development of TMAs through improving systems directly related to their functions and through investments in service delivery.

1.2.1 Key Features of PMSIP

The project has two distinct components; Infrastructure Development and Institutional Development (ID):

Infrastructure development: The project funds the infrastructure schemes after the identification of most pressing development issues of the respective town.

Institutional Development: To improve the municipal service delivery, a number of interventions, have been introduced such as establishment of systems like (PMS, CTS, CFMS) provision of trainings to TMA staff and development of GIS based municipal and Urban Planning Maps

1.3 PMSIP Planning

Under PMSIP planning, rapid appraisal of municipal services is undertaken to identify service delivery gaps on the basis of technical analysis. The main function of PMSIP Planning is the involvement of stakeholders to make the planning exercise meaningful and demand driven.

7 DRAFT

Outcome of this exercise is a municipal service data base, improved GIS based maps and a list of development projects, ensured by stakeholders that may be funded by PMSIP and other funding sources.

1.3.1 Limitations of PMSIP Planning

As every project addresses specific issues, PMSIP has been launched with some limitations as follows:

The PMSIP development grants fund for municipal services only. PMSIP planning exercise is undertaken for CO Units starting from CO Unit HQ, i.e. urban area. The prioritized list that is developed is restricted to the UCs falling in CO Units.

It is assumed that experience gained in the urban areas would be replicated in the entire Tehsil by the TMA staffs who have gained experience and training during the planning process, whose details are as follows.

1.4 The Planning Process

The adopted Planning process incorporates an overall strategy for highlighting the development options and the community’s agreed outputs. These outputs form the basis of spatial plan. It is a more inclusive approach aiming to ensure best use of land by weighing up competing demands.

The plan devised is an ongoing process for the sustainable development. To achieve such development a spatial plan has been developed. It addresses municipal development issues and infrastructure needs in a systematic way. The plan therefore emphasizes on engagement with the stakeholders and other organizations, the management and ongoing funding programs. This leads to identify community’s preferences for development process.

Following steps were adopted for the planning process:

1.4.1 Secondary Data Collection

First, the sources were identified for the previous attempts that were made in Noorpur Thal for planning. It includes, DCR, online data and PHED services maps.

The study of such documents helped to gather background information about the town, infrastructure coverage and growth. It helped to have an understanding about the development patterns evolved over the years.

The maps from Public Health reflected the water supply and sewerage schemes. Information was also gathered whether the projects had completed their designed life. These plans were again used at the analysis stage and compared with the data collected during the current planning exercise.

1.4.2 Mapping

The first requirement before going to the field was to prepare a base map for the town. For this purpose, the mapping exercise was started in parallel to the secondary data collection. The image was procured for the TMA. It was then processed and a vectorized layer was made. The land marks were put on the base map using the secondary sources i.e. maps obtained from PHED. The land marks included the important roads, water features, big buildings, factories, graveyards etc.

1.4.3 Field Data Collection

Preliminary Meetings

Once the data collection forms were finalized the planning team initiated the data collection process in the field. First, a meeting was held with the TMA leader ship (Nazim) to discuss the field data collection work plan. At this stage a planning steering committee comprising of TOs, and a working group constituting ATOs and other lower order officials was notified. The duties were assigned and a briefing was given to these officials about their role in data collection.

The planning team discussed the general development issues of the town with the Nazim and notes were recorded.

Infrastructure Data Collection

For infrastructure data collection, the planning team worked very closely with the working group. First the existing service maps available with the TMA were used as a starting point. To update the map the secondary source like information from Public health maps was added. This information was verified by the working group to prepare an updated map for the services.

This missing or additional information was provided by second line officials. For instance, for water supply, plumbers and sub engineers provided first hand information about the system. Where necessary, field visits were made to validate the information.

10 DRAFT

Urban Planning

A land use survey was conducted to update the TMA map. The residential areas, commercial, institutional and open spaces and industrial areas were marked on the base map. The team comprised for the survey was TO (P), urban planner from PMDFC and draftsman from TMA.

The Planning office guided about the growth directions of the town and a rudimentary survey was made in this regard. It was observed where the new residences were built and institutions were being developed. These factors determine the future expansion of the town.

In addition to it, the land ownership and land values information was recorded.

1.4.4 Data Analysis

Once the planning team collected the data, all of the forms were arranged in the office. The data was cleaned and integrated. The PMDFC officials contacted the TMA office again if any gaps were found in the collected data. Such additional information was gathered for each sector.

Based on the information collected in the field, descriptive maps for all the municipal sectors like water supply, sewerage, solid waste and land use were developed. The analysis report was produced by the planning team by using these maps. This report was again sent to the engineers for further updation and review and hence a final draft was made.

1.4.5 The Visioning Workshop

The planning process stems from the Nazim and other stakeholders vision of the town which is further translated into the tangible and concrete targets. The salient feature of this step is the visioning and prioritization workshop. Participants of the workshop were the Nazim and Naib Nazim, senior TMA officials, including the TMO, all the TOs and staff members , councilors, local representatives of provincial departments, representatives of NGOs operating in the town, representatives of civic groups such as the trade bodies. A comprehensive presentation was given to all of the stakeholders about the fabric of the municipal infrastructure in the town. They all shared their views about the future development options and investment decisions of their town. Once the vision was agreed upon and the objectives were established, a rigorous session was organized for the selection of the priority sectors.

At the end of the workshop the statement of agreed vision, objectives and priorities was summarized in written draft and circulated among all the stakeholders.

The planning exercise was to be reviewed in order to assess the implications of the whole process in year-1 TMAs. Therefore, it was important to get back to these TMAs. For this purpose an interim appraisal was made by WB in November 2009. The details are as follows:

11 DRAFT

1.4.6 Interim Appraisal by the World Bank

Two day Consultative Workshop was held as a schedule arrangement during World Bank Implementation Support Mission in November 2009. The World Bank mission was to make interim appraisal of the PMSIP activities undertaken inYear-1 TMAs.

In addition, it provided a forum for Tehsil Officers Planning TO (P) s, the World Bank and PMDFC to share common approach to improve capacity building efforts for the planning office of the partner TMAs.

1.4.7 One day Planning Refresher Workshop for Year - I TMAs

A refresher workshop was conducted on April 9, 2009 to develop a close liaison between PMDFC and TMAs. TO(P)s from partner TMAs attended the workshop. Presentations were designed to give a snapshot of the planning exercise. The main objectives of the workshop were;

To review the existing planning process To initiate the process of up-dating of the planning reports and maps To share the maps and reports prepared by PMDFC with partner TMAs

In addition to it, information was also collected regarding the interventions, their viability and suggested improvements.

CHAPTER 2 TMA PROFILE

2.1 District Profile

2.1.1 History

The district is named after its most important city, Khushab. The word Khushab is derived from two persian words ‘Khush’ and ‘Aab’ meaning good or pleasant potable water. There are different legends about the origin of this name. For instance, one local tradition ascribes it to Sher Shah Suri who happened to drink water from river Jhelum which now flows at a distance of about 3 kilometers from the city of Khushab. He found the river water refreshing, sweet and invigorating. His instant response was to call it ‘Khusha Aab’.

2.1.2 Location

The district consists of three tehsils, Khushab, Noorpur, and Quaidabad, as well as a sub-tehsil Noshehra. The town situated on the right bank of the Jhelum River. It is linked with Chakwal district on the northern side and with Pind Dadan Khan tehsil of Jehlum District. Towards east is river Jhelum which separates it from Tehsil Shahpur of Sargodha district and on the western side it is bounded by Mianwali and Bhakar district.

CHAPTER 3 URBAN PLANNING

Urban planning under TMA has a crucial role in guiding the present and future growth of the town. The Planning office is responsible to produce spatial plans and exercise development control for change of land uses in the town. Further it maintains a comprehensive data base and information system on TMA and is responsible to execute and manage development plans for infrastructure projects. For the entire development of the Tehsil it is mandatory to produce different maps like base map, land use map, zoning map, etc. The planning office is responsible to prepare Annual development plans and long term plans. These plans are made under the direction of Tehsil Nazim.

3.1 Situation before Planning Exercise

At the start of planning exercise, the available information with the TMAs was very limited, out dated and rudimentary. The maps were either quite old, or were not present at all. Most of the mapping was done by hand drawings. The TO(P) office main function of development control was severely hampered due to lack of information such as updated maps.

The one of the basic objective of PMSIP exercise was to build the capacity of TO(P) Office. For this purpose availability of updated maps was kept on top priority. Satellite images were obtained and developed with the help of GIS technologies. All important information regarding urban planning and infrastructure situation was put on the maps.

3.2 Mapping by PMDFC

At present, with the completion of planning exercise in Noorpur Thal a number of maps have been prepared and handed over to the TO (P) office. It included land use, density, growth direction, water supply, sewerage, solid waste management, roads and street light maps. Moreover, for analysis purposes various maps are prepared further. e.g. density maps, service coverage maps etc. These maps are helpful in making recommendations for improved services in the town.

In further as capacity of TMA would be enhanced the soft copies will be handed over so that they could develop/improve their own maps. These maps would also be prepared in Auto Cad.

16 DRAFT

3.3 TO (P) Office

As the Planning office is newly created in the devolved set up, the planning practices are not common with the TMA. The most important function of the planning office is the development control and sanctioning of the building plans.

Table 3.1: Detail of Posts in Planning Office (June, 2011)

S/No Post Available Posts Filled posts 1 TO(P) 1 Additional charge TO(I&S)- 2 Sub-Engineer 1 - 3 Senior clerk 1 - 4 Naib Qasid 1 - Source: Budget Book

The state of TOP office in Noorpur Thal is very worse as there is no staff available. There are four posts but are lying vacant. There is no development control activity being practiced. The additional charge is with TO (I&S). No fees are being collected for building construction and commercialization.

3.4 Existing Land Use Characteristics

The land use pattern of Noorpur Thal is undefined and haphazard. The internal street pattern comprises of a number of small winding roads. A number of Provincial Highways lead to towns in vicinity, from the city centre.

Maikan Road is the main artery that passes through the town’s most densely populated central part. It runs north south direction. All of the major commercial activity is clustered on the either side of the road. There are two main bazaars perpendicular to this road.

To the east of the town is the institutional zone. There are various institutions like Boys High School, Vocational Institute, CO Office, Police Station, Office Tehsil Dar, NBP, TMA office, Civil Judge office and some more primary schools. To the extreme east of the town, is the residential area with sporadic development.

There is one graveyard in the north of the town. In this part there are some institutional buildings like, District Hospital, Civil Hospital, PHE office Veterinary Hospital, etc. There is not a single park in the town.

3.5 Katchi Abadis

There is no Katchi Abadi in Noorpur Thal.

3.6 Growth Directions

Noorpur Thal is a small town. There is no such rigorous commercial and industrial activity in the town. Since commerce is a very important factor to that influence the

17 DRAFT town to grow in specific direction. The more is the economic activity, the more is the development that it attracts. But Noorpur Thal is lacking such factors.

At present, some minor development is taking place in all directions. The form of development is private residences that are being constructed by people on their private land. But this is happening in a haphazard manner. The more trend is on the eastern and southern side. The east trend is because of the presence of institutional zone of the town. To the south there are some schools and Provicial roads present that facilitate development.

SPATIAL PLANNING IN THE CONTEXT OF NOORPUR THAL

At present the population of Noorpur Thal is 19,297. It is expected to grow up to 29,071 by the year 2030. Thus total increment in population to be accommodated will be 9774.After taking allowance of 30% densification of population in the existing built up area the population to be accommodated will be 6839 at the end of design period, i.e 2030. This amount of population is too small for making a Spatial plan. This population will be accommodated in the adjacent areas and existing neighborhoods will be serving the locality.

4.1.1 TMA Road

As Noor Pur Thal is not a planned town - its roads are not placed in a planned manner. Most of the roads are narrow and their right of ways vary along their lengths. There are few chowks in the town. Most important is the Kashmir Chowk and it serves the focal point of the town. All chowks are without traffic signals though lot of traffic passes haphazardly through them. Detail of TMA main roads is shown in Annex A.

Following table shows pavement condition of different mohallas. Most of the Mohallas as shown are either fully kacha and unpaved or are partially brick paved.

4.4 Sewerage

4.4.1 Existing Sewerage System

Topography of Noor Pur Thal town is flat. Underground water of the town is brackish. Presently, there is no proper drainage system in the town. The town has open drainage system but most of the waste water ends up in ponds, in the streets or low lying areas in the town and surrounding areas.

4.4.2 On-Going Sewerage Scheme

Public Health Engineering Department, Khushab District has initiated the construction of a sewerage scheme costing Rs 21.032 million rupees. It will comprise of a disposal station with pumping machinery, sullage carrier, Force Main, RCC pipe sewers and surface drains. At the moment, disposal station is being constructed.

4.5 Solid Waste Management

4.5.1 Existing Collection System

Solid waste management in Noor Pur Thal comprises of primary collection from streets, secondary collection and final disposal. After sweeping the streets and roads the sanitary workers carry the solid waste in animal carts and dispose at various locations around the town. Solid waste generation in Noor Pur Thal is approximately 4 tons per day.

4.5.2 Existing Service Level

Due to shortage of equipment and manpower TMA Noor Pur Thal is not capable to serve the entire area of the town. As such some areas have good service delivery level whereas other having lesser attention gets poor service.

4.5.3 Existing Land Fill/Dumping Sites

No proper landfill site is available in or out side of the town. Solid waste is dumped in open spaces in and around the town. As there is no tractor trolley solid waste remains very close to the town. Thus, the solid waste dumped in open spaces is creating in-sanitary & unhygienic conditions.

4.5.4 Area Required for Landfill

TMA requires 2.3 acres land for landfills till 2028. For a 10 year span 1 acres would be sufficient. Cost of land as per discussions with the TMA staff is around 1-2 lacks per acre at a distance of 2-3 km from the town.

4.5.6 Manpower and Machinery

Presently, TMA has no mechanical equipment to collect solid waste from the town.

Only two animal carts are being used for this purpose.

One sanitary worker is serving 894 people and that ratio is quite high as compared to the standard 1:500. Therefore, at least 13 more sanitary workers are needed to serve the town as per present needs.

Table 4.8: Existing Establishment Sanitation Branch S.No Post Sanctioned Strength Existing Strength 1 Sanitary Supervisor 1 1 2 Sanitary Workers 17 17 (11 on daily wages) 3 Sanitation Promoters 3 3

TMA has three positions of sanitation promoters which is a very good initiative and rare for a small TMA such as Noorpur Thal.

4.6 Fire Fighting

There is no fire fighting arrangements in the town. Closest fire fighting arrangements are in Khushab town that is 2 hours distance.

4.7 Parks

There is no park in the town.

CHAPTER 5 WORKSHOP ON VISIONING AND PRIORITIZATION OF DEVELOPMENT SECTORS

Once the data was analyzed for all the sectors it provided with an understanding of the existing situation. The next step was to develop a vision for the development of the town. This establishes immediate priorities in order to achieve the desired objectives. For this purpose all the stake holders were formally gathered under one umbrella to agree a shared vision about the town.

The following methodology was adopted for the prioritization process.

5.1 Pre-Workshop Consultations

PMDFC held meeting with Tehsil Nazim to discuss and finalize the workshop methodology. The purpose was to develop a common understanding and build consensus about the workshop methodology and the proposed projects. The Tehsil Nazim was requested to invite the participants for workshop and make available suitable venue for it.

PMDFC briefed how the workshop would proceed, including details about formation of groups, inter-sector prioritization.

5.2 Workshop Proceedings

5.2.1 General

The work shop was held on 4th Dec, 2008 at TMA office. It commenced at 10:00 pm and was concluded at 12:00 p.m.

1.3.1 Workshop Participants

The number of participants was 13. The stake holders were mainly the councilors, NGO representatives, senior citizens, journalists and trade bodies. List of participants is appended at the end of this report.

1.3.2 The Session

The workshop was formally started in which a presentation was given by PMDFC on the existing situation of the different sectors of the town. The presentation gave a comprehensive account of water supply, sewerage, solid waste management, roads etc indetail with pictorial view of the services. The problems with the existing condition of the infrastructure were highlighted.

The Nazim confirmed the improvements needed in sectors identified by PMDFC, in his address to the workshop. He was keen to take up the most pressing issue of the town i.e sewerage through PMDFC. He assured his full support for accomplishing

DRAFT this project. He briefed the workshop participants for his efforts for seeking funds from different departments and organizations for infrastructure development.

During the presentation, the participants took a keen interest, and asked a number of questions about the working of, and already projects under taken by PMDFC. They further updated the information about the existing situation.

1.3.3 Group Formation

The participants were divided into 5 groups at random, but it was ensured that people form same UC may not be included in the same group.

Each group was given a list of sectors i.e. roads, water supply, sewerage etc. They were to label their priority before each sector e.g. if they thought water supply was the most important problem of the town they were to assign 1 before water supply and so on.

The results of the Inter sector prioritization were entered into a ‘priority matrix’. In this matrix, the group-wise sector priorities were entered as assigned by the group members. Based on the frequency of responses and relative weightage determined, the sector prioritization was finalized.

5.3 Prioritized List of Projects

Thus a prioritized list of projects was developed for TMA Noorpur Thal, as shown below:

Table 5.1: Prioritized List of Projects

Sectors Priority Water supply 1 Sewerage 2 Solid Waste Management 3

Roads 4 Parks 5 Fire fighting 6

The prioritization process calls for the road map for the allocation of resources for the TMA. It is important to mention here that in Noorpur Thal, water supply was one of the most important problems of the town.

The Planning process adopted rules out the selection of projects at random or biasness, rather it reflects the ground realities and is demand driven. If the projects are not need based, they are not sustainable for long period of time and become redundant without any benefit to the community or the user. Even if such projects survive, they benefit only a specific group of people. It is therefore important for Infrastructure projects to be need based and both beneficial to and acceptable to the community. To make it mandatory, the involvement of stakeholders was ensured at

DRAFT all stages of planning, including the process of prioritization of the development projects. After the identification of sectors in the visioning workshop and assessing the options, the next step was to finalize the strategy and Action plans.

CHAPTER 6 INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF TMA

6.1 Capacity Building at TMA

Field visit of TMA Noor Pur Thal reveals that there is a dearth of I.T skills in the TMA. The staff in Engineering, Finance, Planning and Regulation offices can perform better through effective I.T. training. 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 Noor Pur Thal for basic computer training for its staff, PMDFC will fund computer training for the following TMA staff, at a local Computer Training Institute:

Sr. No. Name of Trainee Designation 1 Sheikh Hafeez Ullah Accounts Clerk / Assistant to TMO

6.2 Performance Management System

PMDFC is introducing Performance Management System in Year – II TMAs. Field assessment of the TMA reveals that data exists in rudimentary form regarding performance indicators on municipal services like water supply, solid waste, street lights and sewerage. However, there is lack of data tracking, updation and reporting culture.

6.3 Financial Management System

Law requires that no Local Government can pass a deficit budget. The intention is to provide built-in mechanism for fiscal efficiency. This constraint forces a Local Government to either raise revenue or to economize in expenditure or to do both. In general a local government has to maintain within its fiscal limits.

TMA staff is conversant with the budget formulation process but relies predominantly on the historical data for future projections. Monitoring committees are operative and audit is being conducted regularly.

DRAFT

A trend of (OSR) to total revenue is captured in the following table:

DRAFT

Ratio of Own Source Revenue (OSR) to total revenue has been decreasing over the years. This ratio reflects the fiscal effort of the TMA and it is evident that, on average, the TMA is making efforts to increase OSR but ratio was going down due to increase in government grants. OSR registered an increase in FY 2005-06, from FY 2004-05, and in 2006-07 it went down again. In absolute terms OSR was Rs. 3.5 m, 4.0 m and 3.0 m in FYS 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07 respectively. The decrease in FY 2006-07 was mainly on account of 5 items namely Mandi Fee, Teh Bazari Fee, Professional Tax Collection, Water Rate Collection and Tax on Transfer of Immovable Property (TTIP).
