economy. Due to this construction of road, presently people are getting benefitted by better transportation and connectivity in terms of high speed, congestion free movement of traffic. It also enabled faster movement of goods and commodities and provides easier access to business centres, marketing and shopping centres and medical centers. Major benefits that are accumulated by the construction of the road are outlined below: • Average Daily Traffic Calculated

As per IRC SP: 73-2015, referring clause no 5.5.6, traffic growth rate of 5% is adopted.

• Increase in Employment Opportunity

During the construction of the project, considerable numbers of local skilled and unskilled labour have been given opportunity to work on the project. Some local construction material manufacturers have also increased their manpower to accommodate the demand of the project.

• Employment of Local Laborers in Road Construction Work

congestion due to widening of road and providing proper shoulder at town and market area.

• Physical Quality of the Road Improvement

Road for package-2 is an existing 2 lane in vally side and intermediate/single lane road in hilly area are falling in Thoubal , Kakching , Chandel & Tengnoupal Districts of Manipur.

The works in package-2, which involves construction of Up-gradation / Improving of existing Two lane and single-lane/intermediate lane roads to 10m roadway with standard 2 lane 7m carriageway and alignment improvements to relevant IRC standards and other associated road and bridge works including improvement of major and minor bridges, culverts, road intersections, drains, road geometrics and road furniture are either under construction stage or on the verge of completion. The sub-project roads, which are on the verge of completions have achieved a tremendous road improvement and physical quality of road is of international standard and the road condition is improving day by day, making the traffic smooth and fast.

• Success of Resettlement and Rehabilitation Activity amidst Obstacles

In general, the Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) suffers from various obstacles caused by man-made factors and some natural entities. Any infrastructure project, be it roads project, dam construction, extraction of natural resources, establishment of some economic enterprises or infrastructure development, the poor and deprived people has not been repatriated properly. The current scenario of displacement, which led to never- ending problem of inequitable resettlement of Project Affected people, was very strategically handled by the executing agency.

It is apparent that the Resettlement and Rehabilitation program is very much dependent upon decisions taken by government and project officials/ stakeholders. It is the decision of the project owner/ executing agency to suggest measures for the resettlement of displaced persons. Questions like, where to resettle project affected persons, what measures need to be initiated to enhance the quality of life of the settlers, are decided by the resettlement officials. Whatever appraisal of a project is needed is done by either government official or hired agency. In this way, the entire scenario of R & R is regulated by the state and legitimizes the monopoly of developmental agencies.

With the help of several stakeholders including the Consultant and the ADB, the executing agency has successfully executed the implementation of Resettlement Plan. Cases of success story of 2 sub-pojets’ i.e., Pkg-2, which is on the verge of completion, can well illustrated by the following pictures, which changes the face of the road due to construction of new houses, commercial establishment and relocation of CPRs, coming up due to good resettlement measures:
