Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report

Executive Summary

1. Bihar Urban Development Investment Program (BUDIP) is financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF). Each tranche constitutes a separate loan. BUDIP will also assist the urban local bodies (ULB) of the two towns - Bhagalpur and Gaya in bringing about operational discipline and structure which will ensure sustainable operation and maintenance(O&M). 2. The overall BUDIP undertaking is scheduled over a nine-year. The first loan 2861- IND is for a 5 year period. The initial loan closing date was 30 June 2017 which has been extended up to December 31; 2021. The total value of BUDIP is $286 million. The MFF is for a loan amount not exceeding $ 200 million. Loan 2861-IND is for an amount of $ 65 million. 3. The objective of BUDIP is to contribute to the “sustainable economic growth through improved quality of urban life”. It is to improve the urban environment and living conditions in targeted urban areas in Bihar by (i) improving and expanding urban infrastructure and services in four towns; and (ii) strengthening urban institutional, management and financial capacity of the urban local bodies (ULBs). The investment program will improve and expand the water infrastructure in Bhagalpur and Gaya as well as the development of the sewerage system in Gaya. 4. Tranche I of BUDIP- (Loan 2861– IND) is under implementation. The proposed sub-project components for Bhagalpur Water Supply Project -1 (BWSP1) includes (i) rehabilitation of the Barari Water Works and refurbishment of water treatment plant (WTP); (ii) construction of 19 overhead service reservoir (OHSR); (iii) rehabilitation of four existing OHSR; (iv) laying of 460 kilometers (km) of clear water distribution mains; (v) metered household service connections (HSC) (approximately 68,000 connections until 2019) covering all the District Metering Areas (DMA) and customer care centre (one centre for every 10,000 connections including a central control centre)1. The design-build-operate (DBO) contract has been awarded to PIRH - Ranhill India consortium and contractor has been mobilized since October 2014. 5. The social safeguard categorization for this subproject is B for Involuntary resettlement (IR) and C for Indigenous People (IP). The Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 is applicable to the project. 6. Till the end of the monitoring period,the Detailed Measurement Survey(DMS) has been conducted for 19 OHSRs sites and 386.72 km of pipeline.The DMS has confirmed that there would be no land acquisition as 15 sites belong to Government of Bihar (GoB) and Bhagalpur Municipal Corporation (BMC) while four belong to trust / Samiti / committee or religious institution and no-objection certificate (NOC) / undertaking has been obtained. It would, however, be pertinent to note that one OHSR was earlier proposed at Kawali Maidan, Hussainabad, Mughalpura site belonging to Urs committee. The NOC for the construction of OHSR was also obtained from the said committee but later on, the committee denied the permission to construct the OHSR. The site has now been moved to a nearby place and NOC has been obtained from GoB vide Memo No.- 3549, dated- 03.11.2018. 7. However, one site belonging to the Housing Board had had permanent resettlement impact on two squatter households. The two affected households have been compensated as per the agreed resettlement plan and already reported in previous SMRs.The DMS has also confirmed that no impact on land, structure and livelihood is expected due to the laying of the distribution pipeline measuring 386.72 km. 8. The scope of land acquisition and resettlement was further ascertained through field visits to the identified subproject sites and alignments. Sincere efforts have been made during finalization of the detailed design of the project components to avoid or minimize resettlement impact through careful design of the major portion of pipe alignments for water supply distribution through available government land and existing public road right of way (RoW), avoidance of land acquisition and selection of sites and alignment alternatives with none or minimal resettlement impact.

1Prior to approval of SIP, the number of OHSRs to be constructed was 16 whereas 326 km of distribution mains were to be laid and approximately 52,000 new houses were to be equipped with metered service connections. Page | 1

A. Project Description

1. Introduction

1. Bihar Urban Development Investment Program (BUDIP) is financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF). Each tranche constitutes a separate loan. BUDIP will also assist the urban local bodies (ULB) of the two towns - Bhagalpur and Gaya in bringing about operational discipline and structure which will ensure sustainable O&M. The overall BUDIP undertaking is scheduled over a nine-year. The total value of BUDIP is $286 million. The MFF is for a loan amount not exceeding $ 200 million.

2. On 31 January 2012, the Government of India (GoI) and the ADB concluded a framework financing agreement for a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF) for the Bihar Urban Development Investment Program (BUDIP). On 29 March 2012 ADB approved the MFF and on 13 April 2012, it approved the loan for the first tranche under the MFF. On 25 March 2013, the loan agreement between GoI and ADB for Tranche 1 of BUDIP (Loan 2861-IND) was signed. The loan became effective on 6 June 2013. BUDIP is being implemented by Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (BUIDCo).

3. Loan 2861-IND is for an amount of $ 65 million. BUIDCo requested ADB to surrender $ 8 million loan savings towards future tranches. This has been accepted and the loan amount now stands reduced to $ 57 million.

4. The objective of BUDIP is to contribute to the “sustainable economic growth through improved quality of urban life”. It is to improve the urban environment and living conditions in targeted urban areas in Bihar by (i) improving and expanding urban infrastructure and services in four towns; and (ii) strengthening urban institutional, management and financial capacity of the urban local bodies (ULBs). The investment program will improve and expand the water infrastructure in Bhagalpur and Gaya as well as the development of the sewerage system in Gaya.

5. At present, the project is proposed to be implemented in two urban areas Bhagalpur and Gaya in the state of Bihar. The improvement in urban infrastructure will include rehabilitation, improvement, and expansion of (i) water supplies and (ii) sewerage and sanitation.

6. Bhagalpur and Gaya are the two largest towns with the highest economic growth potential in Bihar after the state capital, Patna. Despite being the economic centres of Bihar, the urban service levels in the towns are unable to achieve not only the national goals but also many of the national averages in India. These towns have not been able to sustain the water supply and sewerage services because the infrastructure is not adequate in size and condition. This was mainly attributed to inadequate new investment and operations and maintenance (O&M). The investment program will improve and expand the water and sewerage infrastructure in the two towns. It will also assist the urban local bodies (ULB) of the two towns in bringing about operational discipline and structure which will ensure sustainable O&M.

7. The impact of BUDIP will be to provide improved access to water supply and sanitation facilities by the urban population of the relatively poor and weak capacity state of Bihar. The expected outcome will be access to better quality and sustainable urban water supply and sewerage services for people, especially vulnerable households, in the two towns covered under the program. The five outputs of BUDIP has been provided in Table-1:

Sl. Output Description No. 1 Improved water To address inadequacy in new investment, as an immediate supply infrastructure solution, new raw water intakes, clear water pumping mains, in two towns. water treatment plants, overhead tanks, distribution networks, and water meters will be developed and procured in Bhagalpur and Gaya. 2 Improved To address inadequacy in new investment, new house sewerage/wastewater connections, sewer networks, pumping stations, sewage infrastructure in one treatment plants, maintenance equipment will be developed and town. procured in Gaya.

3 O&M of assets To address the deficiency in O&M staff number and skills, all created by major infrastructures will be constructed and operated by DBO subprojects improved contractors, which will field additional O&M staff and provide on- the-job training to ULB staff for at least 5 years. Also, permanent ULB staff under the municipal civil servant system will take technical courses in India to upgrade their qualifications for asset operations.

4 Urban service To introduce metered user charges, computerized billing and delivery management reserve account for water supply and sewerage, the program will improved prepare long-term business plans, user charge plans and proposals for the creation of water and sewerage accounts for consideration and adoption by the ULBs.

5 Project management, To enhance the executing agency‘s accountability to the implementation skills financers and the people of Bihar, and to strengthen the and transparency implementing agency‘s contract management and subproject improved formulation, teams of consultants will provide the executing and implementing agencies with support and on-the-job training through day-to-day collaboration. 8.

B. Scope of this Monitoring Report

15. The purpose of the semi-annual social monitoring report (SMR) is to analyze periodically over the total implementation period of the project to comply with the approved safeguard documents. This report covers resettlement and social safeguard monitoring results to comply with the spirit of ADB policy to ‘enhance stakeholders’ trust in and ability to engage with ADB and thereby increase the development impact (of projects) in which disclosure of safeguard monitoring is a prominent aspect. This report covers social monitoring, addressing all the issues related to social safeguards with reference to the progress achieved and current status of the reporting period.

16. This SMR has been prepared for the monitoring period July to December 2018 for sub- project (BWSP 1) being implemented under the Tranche 1 (Loan 2861-IND).

C. Social Safeguards Categorisation

17. The project is categorized as “B” for Involuntary Resettlement and “C” for Indigenous Peoples as per the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009.

D. Institutional Arrangement

18. BUDIP is being carried out by the Government of Bihar (GoB) through the State’s Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) which is the executing agency (EA) while Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (BUIDCo) is implementing agency (IA).

19. There has been a change in the institutional arrangement at the Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) of GoB. The project management unit (PMU) of BUDIP under UDHD has been merged with the central project implementation unit (PIU) under BUIDCo for effective execution and implementation of social and environmental safeguards. BUIDCo Page | 5

has appointed an Environmental and Social Management Coordinator (ESMC) for the overall management of environmental and social aspects in the project. The ESMC is supported by the Resettlement and Social Expert of project management consultants (PMC) and Social Safeguard and Gender Expert of design and supervision consultants (DSC) in updating, implementation, and monitoring of resettlement plan (RP) on a full-time basis. The PMU endorses the sub-project RP prepared by the PMC. ESMC co-ordinates with national and state agencies to resolve inter-departmental issues if any. ESMC also monitors implementation of safeguards plans and progress of physical and non-physical activities under the investment plan apart from guiding Safeguards Officer of PIU as and when required. PIU field office is functioning at Bhagalpur and managing the implementation of subprojects. The Safeguards Officer (SO) has been recruited and is looking after the implementation and monitoring of RP. The PIU is supported by DSC. Moreover, city/town level committees (CLC) has been set up in each project town to periodically review subproject progress. The safeguards implementation arrangement is given below Figure 2 –

Figure 2 : Safeguards Implementation Arrangement

E. Resettlement Scope

20. The RP prepared in January 2012 has been revised twice – first in August 2013 and then in December 2015. The methodology adopted in the original RP prepared in, January 20123, to estimate temporary impact due to the commissioning of the subproject components

3https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/project-document/60093/41603-023-ind-rp-01.pdf Page | 6

comprised - (i) conducting three transect walks of 300 meter each4 and (ii) extrapolating the findings for the entire stretch of 243 km of distribution network. In the absence of detailed designs, inputs were obtained from the program preparation engineer to assess the extent of impacts likely due to the proposed works. Based on the estimation, it was assumed that commissioning of the subproject may adversely impact the livelihood of 6124 persons comprising vendors with pushcarts, baskets and (moveable) tables (2,893) and those with repair stand having bamboo and tarpaulin structures (811) etc. All such affected persons have makeshift structures and have squatted on the RoW for commercial purposes.

21. In the RP5 updated in August 2013 the estimation of temporary impact was derived by extrapolating the numbers, observed during the transect walks carried out in RP prepared in January 2012, for 326 km. of distribution pipelines. In the absence of detailed designs, inputs were obtained from the program preparation engineer to assess the extent of impacts likely due to the proposed works. Based on the estimation, it was assumed that commissioning of the subproject may adversely impact the livelihood of 8,145 persons comprising those with makeshift / movable structures placed on RoW, vendors with pushcarts, baskets, moveable tables (3,848) and those with repair stands having bamboo and tarpaulin structures (1,079) who have squatted on the RoW for commercial purposes.

22. Detailed Measurement Surveys have been conducted in a phased manner. The outcome of the DMS (Table-3) conducted until June 2018 is given below –

Carmel School) - representing high, medium and low density areas. 5https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/project-document/78598/41603-023-ind-rp-01.pdf Page | 7

23. The DMS identified two permanent IR impacts (relocation impact-1 household, and 1- cattle shed) at OHSR site at Housing Board Barari.

24. The RP6 was again updated in December 2015 incorporating the findings of the DMS.

25. The DMS identified no impact of temporary and / or permanent nature at the proposed OHSR sites and no negative impact on land, structure and livelihoods due to the laying of the pipeline.

Current Monitoring Period

26. DMS was again conducted for the components to be taken up in phase 4 encompassing eleven (11) DMAs out of the fifteen (15) DMAs comprising two (02) each in service areas under designated OHSR sites at Abir Mishra Lane, Manik Sarkar, Sikandarpur and Aliganj Katghar, while three (03) DMAs in Barahpura Idgah areas.

27. The DMS identified no impact of temporary and / or permanent nature at the proposed OHSR sites and no negative impact on livelihoods due to the laying of the pipeline(Table -4) as given below -

The DMS for a total of 386.72 km, out of 443.51 of pipe length has been conducted until the end of the current monitoring period. Laying of distribution mains ( total - 386.72 km) is not expected to lead to any income loss to any temporary hawker, vendor, etc.

29. The DMS for pipe length encompassing four (04) DMAs comprising two (02) DMAs each in Kawali Maidan and Lajpat Park areas and all remaining stretches that have been left out will be taken up in the next monitoring period.

30. Some observations were made during the ADB inception mission, for BUDIP Tranche 1, with regard to safeguards implementation. These observations were appended with the Aide Memoire and Time-Bound Action Plan. The updated status, as on December 31, 2018, has been enclosed as Appendix 6.

6https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/project-document/191506/41603-023-rp-03.pdf 6 Initially, the distribution network was estimated to be of 326 km. As per the contract clause, the contractor is to prepare the Service Improvement plan to figure out the actual length of the distribution network. As per the approved SIP, the length of new pipes to be laid is estimated at about 460.636 km. Page | 8

Mitigation Measures 31. In the draft RPs, the estimation of the temporary impact was done through extrapolation of impacts for the entire stretch. The positive change in the extent of the temporary impact is because of the efforts made in the detailed design to avoid or minimize adverse impact through careful design of the major portion of pipe alignments for water supply distribution through available government land and existing public RoW.

32. To avoid any loss such measures as (i) night work; (ii) laying of pipelines on holidays as and where applicable; (iii) excavation for each stretch - lanes / by lanes / stretches etc. shall be limited to the length of pipe that can be laid and completed during the day time and / or overnight; (iv) ensuring access to shops and businesses by providing pedestrian access through planks; and (v) using trenchless technology at national highway and railway crossings etc. has been proposed in the RP.

F. Status of Implementation: BWSP 1

33. The ongoing civil works are being properly monitored by Social and Gender Specialist of DSC to ensure compliance of agreed safety norms and also to avoid any undesired inconvenience to the public by putting up - (i) proper traffic and diversion plan; (ii) proper signage as and where required; (iii) cordoning off of the excavated area from the surrounding and (iv) other applicable safety measures incommensurate with the provisions of environment management plan (EMP).

34. The DMS identified two permanent IR impacts (relocation impact-one house, and a cattle shed) at Housing Board Barari OHSR site. The two affected families were compensated in 2016 as per the RP prior to the start of civil works. The RP was updated in December 2015 incorporating the findings of the DMS. One person from the affected household (AH) was supposed to undergo skill up-gradation training. The AH was requested to provide an area of preference for the training. However, the AH has submitted an application to PIU Bhagalpur requesting that the amount earmarked be paid as cash in lieu of skill up- gradation training.

35. The AH was again informed, during the last monitoring period that one person could avail the skill up-gradation training until the end of December 2018. The AH had informed in writing (Appendix 2 in the last monitoring report) that he is not willing to undergo any training and the amount earmarked for skill training in the approved RP may be forfeited7.

36. The DMSs conducted so far identified market and congested stretches such as – (i) Housing Board Barari - Barari vegetable market Barari Chowk, (ii) RCD, Adampur - Surkhikal Road, Barkach Chowk, Khirni Ghat road, SM college road, (iii)Thakurbari - Mirjan Haat, (iv) TMBU - Parbatti Chowk Market, Sahib Ganj Market, (v) Bazar Samiti – Mirzan Haat road, (vi) Surkhikal - Maya Ganj Market, Near Barari Shahak Thana, Maya Ganj –Tilka Manjhi Road, (vii) Anand Nagar - Hatia Road, near Tilka Manjhi Chowk, Hanuman Path , Hatia road, Tilka Manzi, (viii) CTS - Tumtum Chowk , Narga Chowk, Jawahar Cinema, Nathnagar Chowk and Kabirpur, (ix) BMC - Tatarpur, Station Chowk, Shah Market, Loharpatti, Variety Chowk, Tinkatiya Masjid, (x) Mahashay Deodhi (I & II) -Champanagar Market, Noorpur Market, Nathnagar Market, and (xi) Jaglal - Tatarpur, Manroja Chowk, Sarai Market, Bazar Chowk.

37. Though no income loss has occurred during the current and previous monitoring period, mobile vendors as well as those with moveable structures, if required, were assisted to shift to nearby places during the period of pipe laying and moved back when pipe laying for the stretch was completed. Where businesses are unable to or are not required shifting, access was ensured by the contractor by avoiding excavation of adjacent footpaths and/or by providing planks for pedestrian access. Potential disruptions at pipe crossings at congested, commercial areas were mitigated by undertaking night work. Photographs of the civil implementation works and stretches/markets/ lanes where pipelines laid have been appended as Appendix 2.

38. The laying of pipeline in the market areas ( Table - 5) has not caused any income loss to any temporary hawker, vendor, etc. Night work was undertaken while laying distribution pipes in Surkhikal area- Mayaganj Chowk - Tilkamanjhi (Node 72- 69); Barari Thana - Mayaganj Chowk (Node 534 - 214).
