Semi Annual Social Safeguard Monitoring Report
1. Introduction and Project Background The Government of India (GoI) reaffirmed its obligation to sectoral reforms by launching Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), that aims at improving existing poor infrastructure and quality of life in urban areas in India. The North Eastern Region Capital Cities Development Investment Program (NERCCDIP) carries the Mission statement further through a planned, organized, yet flexible approach to meet the growth needs in consonance with specific needs of the capital cities namely, Agartala, Aizawl, Gangtok, Kohima and Shillong in the North Eastern Region (NER) to bring those at par with the rest of the country. The components under the Investment Program in Agartala include
Development of urban infrastructure facilities in the sector for Water Supply Solid Waste Management systems The Investment Program is being implemented in three tranches of funding; began in 2009.
2. Project Background NERCCDIP is being implemented in Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) area for improvement of existing infrastructure, environmental quality and enhancing vital urban services for the residents of the city. It is beibg implemented over a six year period beginning in 2010, and is funded by a loan via Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). . ADB is committed to assist the integrated urban development initiatives of the GoI. 70% of the loan component will be borne by ADB and the GoI will share the balance 30 %. The objectives of the subproject are to: Provide potable water through effective treatment Increase supply hours through effective storage Generate adequate water through installation of new deep tube wells Manage water in a better manner and control on NRW through installation of water meters The entire project area has been broadly divided into three main water zones: 1.Central Zone- The area between Haora and Katakhal 2. South Zone- a. Bardowali Division b. Jogendranagar Division.

4. Social Safeguard Activities during the Period
4.1 Social Issues In order to identify any social impact, due to the Project implementations, the SIPMIU and the DSM Consultant have carried out several site visits and consultative assessments in the project areas during the preparation of this document. Based on this and discussions held with the local residents in the Project locations, it has been confirmed that the implementation of the concerned Project does not have any negative social impact till date (Ref 5 public consultations in different sites). Hence the subprojects under all the Tranches with respect to issues related to involuntary resettlement as well as IP are Category C. However, public consultations shall be continued throughout the project implementation period to confirm that no social/resettlement issues remain addressed.
4.2 Scope of Work and Resettlement Impact It has been assessed that no resettlement issue is involved for the works in these Tranches. The following situation was found at/around places. Impacts as assessed No land acquisition is envisaged for water supply subproject. The sites for all the components of the water supply subprojects of all the Tranches are either located on vacant government lands or along the existing Right of Way (RoW) of Government land. No encroachment or any squatter has been found on the selected sites till date, therefore it does not involve any land acquisition and resettlement. The improvement work is being carried out within the RoW in road shoulders particularly in the side through which the present water supply lines passes through. Existing bituminous roads which are being dug for laying of pipelines are being restored with bituminous courses confirming with the existing pavement
conditions. Wherever shoulder space is available, the pipeline will be laid along that width
Semi Annual Social Safeguard Monitoring Report, July to December, 2015
The transect walk does not find presence of any IPs. In brief the extent of negative impact is negligible in this subproject.
4.3 Benefits as assessed- It is expected that this subproject will benefit a population of 5,97,808 by 2026 and 8,22,267 by 2041. An estimated 40,000 house connections will be provided- majority of those will be domestic with some commercial connections. Construction of a few stand posts is proposed to cater to the slum areas and the areas with economically weaker section. Local people are being deployed at the sites for Project works.
4.3. The design principles incorporated other mitigation measures, including but not limited to the following:
Selection of alternative alignments to minimize impacts Implementation of works in a phased manner to minimize the period of disruption Provision of advance notice to the local people Provision of temporary access to people during the digging for laying pipelines.
It has been proposed that suitable mitigation measures will be considered if any evolving situation arises, so that during construction business establishments/residences can be left undisturbed. Access to the business setups/residences will be ensured during construction.
5. Status of RP Implementation The resettlement monitoring review has been done periodically and it has found that there is no impact which required mitigation measures as the construction activities are being done either within the available RoW of city roads or along the open area
5.1 Scope of Construction and Social Impacts This is a rehabilitation work of the existing water supply system. An attempt was made to observe the situation in the city along the supply systems and also probe into the resettlement issues in various locations by a reconnaissance visit and consecutive visits. The following situation was found at/around subproject sites:

6. Implementation of Resettlement Activities in the Tranches
Since there is no issue of land acquisition and/or resettlement the sub project does not entail any resettlement planning. Construction of 7 GWTUs and 14 OHSRs are designed to be built on vacant government/municipal land. Laying of primary pipelines (60 kms) and secondary pipelines (410 kms) also do not have any impact on land acquisition and resettlement impacts because it will be undertaken within sufficient and vacant road RoW.
7. Project Impact The Investment Program is intended to optimize the socioeconomic development in Agartala Municipal area with an objective to improve the urban environment cum living conditions of
1510 STUP Consultants P. Ltd SIPMIU, Agartala (Design Supervision and Management Consultant)
Semi Annual Social Safeguard Monitoring Report, July to December, 2015
citizens. The subprojects implementations will not create any major negative impact on community. The implementation of RPs integrating with various developmental schemes of governmental and non-governmental agencies will enhance the living standard of PAPs. Summary of negative social impacts in tranche sub projects is summarised below:

7.1.Land Acquisition, and Rehabilitation in Solid Waste Management Subproject Since the responsibility of this subproject has been transferred to the AMC, the DSMC is not required to design any safeguards measures.
7.2.Status of Contractor Social Safeguards Compliance Contractors are maintaining compliance by following the social safeguards norms set by the Project. The only problem they are facing that the labourers, especially the women, are not comfortable with the use of safety gadgets. With the women labors the contractors notified that apart from casting they are not usually employed as it becomes insecure for them. The workers are being counseled by the team members for using those. It is a slow process as behaviour change takes long time Tranche 1-The following contractors were awarded M/S Subhas Poddar,M/S Priyatosh Saha, Uttam Dey,Kabir Saha (tubewell) M/S Utkarsh Tubes & Pipes Ltd (MSERW pipe) Tranche II ITD-ITD Cem JV-(GWTP) Ramky Infrastructure- (OHT)

In Mizoram 93% of the people are schedule tribes, and people living in Aizawl city with urban life style having different occupational work such as Government servant, business, private employment, etc. Scheduled Tribes in the project covered area do not exhibit primitive or distinct characteristics of that Indigenous Peoples as far as ADB’s definition is concerned. However, Poor FHHs, households Below Poverty Level, in the project have been considered as vulnerable group for which provision for additional assistance have been provided in the entitlement of the Resettlement Plan.
2.5 Status of the affected people: Land requirement, Compensation and Rehabilitation in Water Supply and Sewerage Sub Projects in TRANCHE II:
1. Water Supply: (i) Dedicated power supply requires installation of 132KvA substation at Dihmunzawl. The proposed substation site is within PHED land (govt Land). 132KvA power is proposed to connect from Luangmual Substation, Power & Electricity Department
16 | P a g e 44 Govt of Mizoram. To cover the distance between proposed substation site and Luangmual substation about 21 towers erection is required. Proposed tower locations of 4 nos belong to government and the rest 17 belongs to private owner. Private land measuring maximum 112.36sqm and minimum 67sqm at 17 locations measuring total area of 1635.9sqm from 14 landowners. Besides land for tower construction 5 Landowners land will also be affected during overhead stringing between towers. Rates for each tower land had been finalised in the second sitting of Valuation Committee. Since, proposed tower types varies in sizes accordingly area land required also differs. Valuation Committee therefore, had fixed to Rs. 200,000/- for the maximum area land required. Thus, deriving cost of area for 1sqm @ Rs.1779.99/- Government approval had been obtained and payment to all landowners is to be completed before March end 2016.
2. Sewerage: (i) Land acquired for STP site has been completed and work of site development is almost completed as mentioned in the previous report. Land for STP approach road has also been finalised. The site has been finalized with consultation with the land owner, local NGOs and Local Council. The owner of the land is the same landowner who owns the STP site.
(ii) Socio economic profile of landowners for tower reveals that all landowners lives in city area and are all integrated to the main stream of urban life with occupational pattern that is of urban in nature. None of the landowners falls under ADB’s vulnerable HHs category. Therefore, none of the landowners fit into the criteria of IP. Agricultural activities in around the proposed locations have been noticed but there will be no impact to any land from the construction work.
(iii) Socio economic information provides that total loss of 2.44 Ha (i.e including STP approach road) of land had been purchased for STP site. Land as verified on ground is not in use. Hence, it will not disturb present livelihood of the landowner. One physical displacement at the proposed approach road. The displaced family has been consulted jointly. The landowner has provided another suitable location where new structure had been constructed nearby as per the choice of the affected family and landowner. The displaced family have been shifted to the new house. New structure is better than the previous condition has been provided to the displaced family. (iv) Consultations with the displaced family carried out jointly with Local Council member. (v) Landowner agreed price had been paid for the STP approach road land.

2.6 Land requirement, Compensation and Rehabilitation in SWM Sub Project (Tranche 3) Land required for solid waste management (SWM) is estimated about 5.64ha under Tranche 3. However, 12.95ha of land had been acquired considering the need for future expansion (after 5 years) from 2 landowners, 3 government land lease and government land.
2.7 Permanent land acquisition and ownership details under Solid Waste Management sub project Tr-3: The proposed Land is approx 20kms away from Aizawl city located near Tuirial village with an area measuring 12.95ha. Compensation amount had been paid after consultation with all landowners who had no objection and all willing to sell their land. The details of RP for acquisition had been mentioned in the SWM Resettlement Plan (RP) submitted earlier. Land is not in any use. A total of 395 non fruit trees (comprising of young tree plants) will be affected. Section -4 under the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) has already been issued. Following the issuance of the section - 4, the land had been acquired on a mutual consent basis. The rate of the land had been finalized on a mutual basis which was further evaluated by an independent third party. Details of the land are given in Table-7.
In accordance with the involuntary resettlement principles set forth above, the identified affected persons have been compensated.
Socio – economic information: A total of 5 households are affected due to the land acquisition which will have a total of 34 affected persons (APs). Socio-economic survey was conducted. The average size of each household in the project area is 5 to 6 members.
All of the affected household and their family members are literate. Socio-economic survey reveals that income level of affected household ranges from a maximum 50,000 to minimum 25000 per month. No household falls under BPL category or fall under the ADB category. None of the households belong to women headed and below poverty line. However, all the 5 affected households belong to scheduled tribe as more than 95% of the population in Aizawl is scheduled tribe. These tribal groups are integrated to main society and hence they are not considered as indigenous people. Majority of the households preferred cash compensation as resettlement options. Summary details are given in Table 7.

36 | P a g e 64 Annexure 4: Compliance to National laws and Policies: The policy framework and entitlements for the Program are based on national laws: The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (LAA, amended in 1984) the National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 2007 (NRRP); and ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, 1995. The salient features of Government and ADB polices are summarized below.
i. Government Policy
1. National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 2007:
The NRRP 2007 was adopted by the Government of India on 31 October 2007 to address development - induced resettlement issues. The NRRP stipulates the minimum facilities to be ensured for persons displaced due to the acquisition of land for public purposes and to provide for the basic minimum requirements. All projects leading to involuntary displacement of people must address the rehabilitation and resettlement issues comprehensively. The State Governments, Public Sector Undertakings or agencies, and other requiring bodies shall be at liberty to put in place greater benefit levels than those prescribed in the NRRP. The principles of this policy may also apply to the rehabilitation and resettlement of persons involuntarily displaced permanently due to any other reason. The objectives of the Policy are:
a. To minimize displacement and to promote, as far as possible, non-displacing or least-displacing alternatives; b. To ensure adequate rehabilitation package and expeditious implementation of the rehabilitation process with the active participation of the affected families; c. To ensure that special care is taken for protecting the rights of the weaker sections of society, especially members of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, and to create obligations on the State for their treatment with concern and sensitivity; d. to provide a better standard of living, making concerted efforts for providing sustainable income to the affected families; e. To integrate rehabilitation concerns into the development planning and implementation process; and f. Where displacement is on account of land acquisition, to facilitate harmonious relationship between the requiring body and affected families through mutual cooperation.
The NRRP is applicable for projects where over 400 families in the plains or 200 families in hilly or tribal or Desert Development Program (DDP) areas are displaced. However, the basic principles can be applied to resettling and rehabilitating regardless of the number affected. NRRP’s provisions are intended to mitigate adverse impacts on Project Affected Families (PAFs). The NRRP comprehensively deals with all the issues and provides wide range of eligibility to the affected persons and meets most of the requirement of ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1995). The non title holders under NRRP are recognized as the people living in the affected area not less than three years after the declaration of the area as affected area. The NRRP addresses the vulnerable families with adequate entitlements and provides special provisions for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) Families. The NRRP takes in to account all the transparency as far as consultation, dissemination of information, disclosure and grievance is concerned.
However, the law relating to the acquisition of privately owned immoveable property is the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 (LAA, amended 1984) which is discussed in the following section.
37 | P a g e 65 2. Land Acquisition Act, 1894 as Amended in 1984:
The LAA provides a framework for facilitating land acquisition in India. LAA enables the State Government to acquire private land for public purposes. LAA ensures that no person is deprived of land except under LAA and entitles affected persons to a hearing before acquisition. The main elements of LAA are:
Land identified for the purpose of a project is placed under Section 4 of the LAA. This constitutes notification. Objections must be made within 50 days to the District Collector (the highest administrative officer of the concerned District).
The land is then placed under Section 6 of the LAA. This is a declaration that the Government intends to acquire the land. The District Collector is directed to take steps for the acquisition, and the land is placed under Section 9. Interested parties are then invited to state their interest in the land and the price. Under Section 11, the District Collector will make an award within one year of the date of publication of the declarations. Otherwise, the acquisition proceedings shall lapse.
In case of disagreement on the price awarded, within 6 weeks of the award, the parties (under Section 18 can request the District Collector to refer the matter to the Courts to make a final ruling on the amount of compensation.
Once the land has been placed under Section 4, no further sale or transfer is allowed.
Compensation for land and improvements (such as houses, wells, trees, etc.) is paid in cash by the project authorities to the State Government, which in turn compensates landowners.
The price to be paid for the acquisition of agricultural land is based on sale prices recorded in the District Registrar's office averaged over the three years preceding notification under Section 4. The compensation is paid after the area is acquired, with actual payment by the State taking about two or three years. An additional 30% is added to the award as well as an escalation of 12% per year from the date of notification to the final placement under Section 9. For delayed payments, after placement under Section 9, an additional 9% per annum is paid for the first year and 15% for subsequent years.
3. ADB’S Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 (SPS)
The three important elements of ADB’s involuntary resettlement policy are (i) compensation to replace lost assets, livelihood, and income; (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and (iii) assistance for rehabilitation to achieve at least the same level of well-being with the project as without it.
i. For any ADB operation requiring involuntary resettlement, resettlement planning is an integral part of project design, to be dealt with from the earliest stages of the project cycle, taking into account the following basic principles: ii. Involuntary resettlement will be avoided whenever feasible. iii. Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized. iv. All lost assets acquired or affected will be compensated. Compensation is based on the principle of replacement cost. v. Each involuntary resettlement is conceived and executed as part of a development project or program. APs need to be provided with sufficient resources to re-establish their livelihoods and homes with time-bound action in co-ordination with civil works. vi. APs are to be fully informed and closely consulted. vii. APs are to be assisted to integrate economically and socially into host communities so that adverse impacts on the host communities are minimized and social harmony is promoted.
38 | P a g e 66 viii. The absence of a formal title to land is not a bar to ADB policy entitlements. ix. APs are to be identified and recorded as early as possible to establish their eligibility, through a census which serves as a cut-off date, and prevents subsequent influx of encroachers. x. Particular attention will be paid to vulnerable groups including those without legal title to land or other assets; households headed by women; the elderly or disabled; and indigenous groups. Assistance must be provided to help them improve their socioeconomic status. xi. The full resettlement costs will be included in the presentation of project costs and benefits.

Grievances not redressed within 30 days by the NGO or RO will be brought to the grievance redress committee (GRC), established in each State. GRCs will comprise the Investment Program Director, RO, LAO, implementing NGO representative, female and male AP representatives (including vulnerable households), and an eminent member of the community. The GRC will meet every month, determine the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within a month of receiving the complaint; failing which the grievanc e will be addressed by the IPEC. Further grievances will be referred by APs to appropriate courts of law. Records will be kept of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date that the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were affected, and final outcome. All costs involved in resolving grievances will be borne by the SIPMIU. The SIPMIU through the DSMC will keep records of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date that the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were effected, and final outcome. The grievance redress process is shown in Figure 1. The GRCs will continue to function throughout the project duration.

1 Introduction 1. North Eastern Region Capital Cities Development Investment Program (NERCCDIP) is being undertaken for improvement of existing infrastructure, environmental quality and access to basic urban services of Gangtok Municipal Corporation (GMC) area. The NERCCDIP’s objective is to improve the urban environment and promote reforms for sustainable, efficient, and responsive urban service delivery. The primary drivers for the initiation of NERCCDIP have been bridging the gaps in urban infrastructure provision, supplementing financial resources and technical capacity and meeting the unmet urban public health and sanitation needs. The various Program components are Water supply, Sewerage and Sanitation and Solid Waste Management infrastructure. 2. With an overall objective of sustainable urban development, the NERCCDIP is being implemented in the five capital cities - Gangtok, Aizawl, Kohima, Gangtok and Shillong. NERCCDIP implemented over a six year period beginning in 2010, and is funded by a loan via the Multi tranche Financing Facility (MFF) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). 3. In Gangtok, capital city of Sikkim State, the Executing Agency (EA) for the program is the Urban Development and Housing Department (UD&HD) of the Government of Sikkim (GoS); and the Implementing Agency (IA) is the State-level Investment Program Management and Implementation Unit (SIPMIU), created within the UD&HD, specifically for the Investment Program implementation. At central level, an Investment Program Coordination Cell (IPCC) is constituted in MOUD. IPCC is responsible for overall management of the Investment Program and is supported by the Program Management & Monitoring Consultants (PMMC). 4. Under the program the physical investments include improvements to water supply, sanitation & sewerage and solid waste management infrastructure. The physical improvements are being coupled with urban governance, finance, and service delivery reforms and a capacity building program to support the implementation of the investment program and the urban reform agenda. The Investment Program is being implemented through three tranches of funding which began in 2009. The Program is scheduled to be completed by the year 2015. 5. The sub project taken up under tranche -1 in water supply scheme has been completed in Gangtok. This subproject covered (i) construction of Distribution Network for Burtuk Zone-1 of 17.75km, Burtuk Zone-2 of 10.57km and Chandmari Zone-3 of 15.87km lengths; (ii) construction of Pump House and installation of pumps at Selep Water Treatment Plant of capacity 1930 lpm at Head of 101m, (iii) construction of New R.C.C Reservoir of 11.50 LL capacity at Bulbuley on All India Radio(AIR) Station Road for Burtuk Zone-1& Chandmari, and (iv) supply & Installation of electromagnetic flow meters at outlet of pump house at Selep, outlet of storage reservoir for Burtuk Zone-1 and at outlet of storage reservoir for Chandmari Zone. 6. At present two subprojects are under implementation in tranche -2 (i) Water Supply and (ii) Solid waste Management. (i) Water Supply subproject: Works taken up under water supply sub project are awarded in two lots. The work comprises in lot -1 are construction of 3 ground level reservoirs at New Enchey (Capacity: 5.30 lakh litre), New TNSS Tank (Capacity: 3.30 lakh litre) and New Lower Sichey Tank (Capacity: 4.40 lakh litre) together with supply and laying of 60.86 km of pipes in 13 tank zones and supply and installation of power operated (electrical mains supply or battery) 24 Nos. of
3 75
electromagnetic flow meters. As far as project status is concerned, 90% construction work of all three tanks is completed so far. The work comprises in lot -2 are construction of 3 ground level service reservoirs- 2 nos., at New Press Tank (Capacity: 7.80 Lakh Ltr*2nos=15.60 lakh litre) and New Bazaar Tank (Capacity: 5.35 lakh litre) together with supplying and laying of 47.66 km of pipes in 7 tank zones and supply and installation of 15 Nos., of power (electrical mains or battery) operated electromagnetic flow meters. 90% of construction works of two out of three tanks are completed and for the remaining one, earth works excavation is going on. (ii) Solid Waste Management: Works in SWM subproject comprise of construction of Solid Waste landfill, Leachate Treatment Plant and associated works at at Martham 20 Kms away from Gangtok. The work comprises of Construction of retaining wall, Leachate Treatment Plant, Upgrading the surface for new Landfill, providing sewer line from collection well, construction of toilet block, security guard cabin, office cum store cum workers room, roads, piping system for water supply system, green belt, bore well for monitoring, fencing and compound wall electrical works etc. The present status of the work is field survey is completed. Work of retaining wall of sanitary land fill is in progress. 7. This is the consolidated report on implementation of Social Safeguard Activities of subprojects taken up under tranche -2 during the period from 1st January to 30th June 2015 and this is prepared in compliance with the ADB Policies. 2 Implementation Arrangements 8. The Ministry of Urban Development (MOUD) is the national-level executing agency (EA) of the program. An IPCC is also established in MOUD incorporating a Social Safeguard Officer. A National Steering Committee (NSC) will monitor the fund use and overall implementation performance of the Investment Program. In each State there will be a State Steering Committee (SSC), an Investment Program Empowered Committee (IPEC) and a State Investment Program Monitoring and Implementation Unit (SIPMIU).The SIPMIU is responsible for overall program implementation, monitoring and supervision in the respective cities. 9. The SIPMIU will have a Social Safeguards Unit headed by a sociologist. Depending on the anticipated volume of resettlement and other related issues, a Resettlement Officer & supporting NGOs may be required as part of the Unit. ROs/and NGOs will be responsible for RP implementation. However, in small projects where resettlement issues are is not anticipated or minimal, an extensive staffing in the SSU is not essential. In case any resettlement issues arise during the subsequent stages of implementation, the services of competent personnel/agencies like RO/NGO shall be engaged. The generalized institutional roles of the involved entities are identified in Table 1 as a guide line. The Social Safeguards Unit under SIPMIU will take care of redressing grievances and mitigating negative social impacts caused due to the project with the aid of the existing system and shall request the Program Director for further reinforcement of support staff/NGOs if required.

Solid Waste 2 Door to door waste collection will be Management introduced and waste will be collected on a daily basis, every household will be provided with two bins for the storage of wet (biodegradable) and dry (non- biodegradable) waste. The primary waste collectors will be provided with small mechanical vehicles and further it will transferred to secondary vehicles and finally to Solid Waste Management Plant. Biodegradable waste will be converted to manure by composting at the plant and non- biodegradable will be segregated again to inert and scientifically disposed in sanitary land fill. Construction of sanitary landfill with leachate treatment plant. 4 Social Safeguard Activities. 11. In order to identify the Resettlement Impacts, if any, due to the project implementations, the safeguard specialists of SIPMIU & the DSM Consultant have carried out several site visits and consultative inspections in the project areas during the preparation of RP. Based on this and further discussions held with the local public in the City, it has been confirmed that the implementation of the subprojects taken up under tranche 2 will have minor involuntary resettlement impact. Hence the sub projects (tranche-2) category with respect to Resettlement Impact is ‘Category B’. (ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009). 4.1. Adverse Social Impact 12. The subproject components and a summary of impact on land acquisition and resettlement is described in Table 3, further details are illustrated in below section.

4.2.1. Permanent Land Acquisition and Ownership Details 13. Water Supply Subproject: Permanent land acquisition will be there for the water supply sub project for the construction of one service reservoir out of proposed five number of service reservoirs. All other components of the water supply sub projects are located on vacant government land or along the existing right-of-way (RoW) of city roads. The construction of other 4 new service reservoirs is proposed within available government lands. The locations were finalized in consultations and as per the suggestions of Water Security and Public Health Engineering Department (WSPHED), Government of Sikkim. One service reservoir which has been proposed in the lower Sichey area is located in private land. The total land requirement for this service reservoir is 400 sq meters. The identified location of this proposed service reservoir has also been done in-consultation with (WSPHED) as no Government land is available in that area. Location and the required area for each service reservoir along with the ownership are described in Table 4. Further the ownership details of land to be acquired at Sichey are summarized in table 5.

1. Solid Waste Management: The proposed subproject will require land for development of sanitary landfill site and processing plant, access road to the processing plant and for developing a green belt area all around the SWM site. The existing site of dump yard located at Martham (around 20 Km from Gangtok) will be used to accommodate the entire sub project components. Hence, no permanent land
10 SIPMIU 82 DSMC
acquisition from private sources is required for the sub project. The land belongs to the UDHD of Government of Sikkim. It is evident from the table 7 that, 4.2660 hectare (ha) of land is owned by UDHD department. The land revenue department has already initiated the process for mutation of the 4.2660 hectare of the land to be transferred to UDHD, Government of Sikkim. The ownership status of the land is given in Table 7. Table 7. Land Parcel for landfill site and the ownership details.

Temporary Impact 2. Water Supply Sub project: The existing primary distribution networks (feeder mains) presently conveying treated water from Selep WTP to the existing service reservoirs was retained. The new feeder mains are designed for ultimate demand exclusively for the proposed service reservoirs in peripheral areas. The new feeder mains will either pass through the existing feeder main alignments or will follow the existing Row. The proposed secondary and tertiary distribution system will also follow the existing Row. It has been found on an inspection with water supply design engineers that pipes can be laid along the 5 to 10 m wide roads of Gangtok City without acquiring any further lands. The improvement work can be carried out within the ROW in road shoulders without causing problems to the existing lines. The maximum required trench width in busy commercial area will be only 30 cm and trenching can be done without causing any temporary impact lasting more than a day. In order to estimate the temporary impact, resettlement expert of DSMC carried out a joint site visit along with design engineers. However, corrective action plan shall be prepared to mitigate any unforeseen temporary impacts during the time of project implementation. 3. Solid Waste Management Sub Project: Livelihood of 38 rag pickers working in the landfill area will be affected due to this project. A census and socio-economic survey was undertaken in the proposed land fill site situated in the Martham village. Based on the census conducted during the period of November, 2010, it was estimated that 38 households will be affected by the subproject. Of the total 38 APs, 12 are in the muster roll of UDHD working as trash sorter in Marthom compost plant as daily wage laborers. In addition, there are 26 APs who are also working as a trash sorters. These 26 rag pickers segregate the waste on site and sell the non-biodegradable waste like plastic bottles, glass bottles and other solid waste etc and sell it to a middle man and in turn he sells the same to the recyclers. The proposed project will be impacted upon the temporary livelihood of all these 38 APs. 5 Project Impact 4. The Investment Program is intended to optimize the socio economic development in Gangtok Municipality area with an objective to improve the urban environment cum living conditions of citizens. The sub projects implementations will not create any
11 SIPMIU 83 DSMC
major negative impact on community. The anticipated impact on rag pickers at existing waste disposing site and impact on one title holder has appropriately been taken care of in the respective RPs. Also the implementation of RPs integrating with various developmental schemes of governmental and non-governmental agencies will enhance the living standard of PAPs.

7 Status of RP implementation. Solid Waste Management 2. M/s. Eco Tourism and Conservation Society of Sikkim (ECOSS) an NGO based in Gangtok have been appointed as RP implementation agency. ECOSS commenced its assigned activities on February 6, 2014. A brief description of activities performed in this regard is summarized in below section. 3. Mobilization of project staff team was initiated by ECOSS in 2nd week of February 2014 for undertaking the task of implementation of Resettlement Plan (RP) of SWM sub project based on a Terms of Reference given to them. The team comprises one Team Leader (post Graduate in Sociology), one Social Development Specialist (Post Graduate in Sociology) and three Field Coordinators (Graduates in Social Science). 4. Revalidation of Census survey: As part of preparation of Resettlement Plan an initial Socio-Economic Survey and Census was undertaken in November 2010 in the proposed land fill site situated at Martham. Based on the census undertaken during that period, 38 households were identified as the Project Affected Persons (PAP). As a follow up on the above survey, a similar type of re-verification (socio-economic) survey was carried out by the RP implementation NGO during the period of 15th March to 27th March 2014 and 15th April to 18th April 2014. The survey was carried out with a predesigned questionnaire approved by SIPMIU. The survey was designed to gather information related to the socio-economic profile of the affected households. Photo verification of the participating PAFs was also done. 33 households (out of 38) were present during the revalidation survey and it came to know that the balance 5 is migrated to other places like Siliguri and Kolkata due to health related issues or for better employment opportunities.
14 SIPMIU 86 DSMC
5. Public Disclosure: The project details and resettlement benefits are disclosed to the PAPs on 11th June, 2014. As none of the APs are having bank account to encash the project assistance, actions has taken to open a bank account at Union Bank of India (UBI), Ranipool Branch, Gangtok. Senior Manager of UBI explained the formalities and documents required for opening the bank account. During the meeting he has also assured ‘zero’ balance operation to the APs. The RP implementation NGO shall coordinate the activities. 6. Issuing Identity Cards: Identity cards are issued to all project affected persons on 15th & 16th of October, 2014 by the RP implementation support agency (M/s. Eco Tourism and Conservation Society of Sikkim). 7. Preparation of Draft Micro Plan & Disbursement of Resettlement Assistance: Finalization of micro plan for resettlement & rehabilitation of APs integrating with various agencies and welfare schemes of State & Central governments are in progress. Draft micro plan for each APs are prepared in consultation with them and other agencies. The draft could not be finalized during this period as actual displacement of APs will happen once segregation at source, development of segregation units and sanitary land fill at Martham is ready. The resettlement assistance (based on the entitlement matrix) has paid to the respective APs on 17th October, 2014. The Bank and APs are directed to keep this amount as fixed deposit for next one year. Hence the amount with interest shall be used for the rehabilitation of APs based on the micro plan. Water Supply Sub project 8. The land earmarked for construction of service reservoir at lower Sichey (private land) has been purchased from the land owner on 20-06-2014 and handed over the site to the contractor for commencement of civil works. 9. The resettlement monitoring review has been done periodically and it has found that there is no temporary impact which required mitigation measures as the construction activities are being done either within the available ROW of city roads or along the open area. The contractor has been advised to prepare the detailed drawing and work plan for the next phase of the work in order to prepare the mitigation plan for resettlement implementation monitoring. Status of RP implementation with respect to progress in civil works is summarized in table.3. 4.2.1. GAP Implementation 10.

collection vehicle. This exercise seems to be very effective as we could assess the quality of waste segregation practice of households as well as waste collection practice of agency. On spot instructions could be given both the stake holders. Weight of segregated waste has been taken from each waste collection point with weighing machine for study purpose. 6 Door to Door Follow up Survey Door to door follow up survey has been commenced at Dara Goan ward with structured questionnaire. It was noticed that, most of the people are misusing the free dust bins for some other purpose instead of waste segregation. Community organisers were given strict instructions to the households to utilize the free dust bins in a proper manner. Households were also offered demonstration if the satisfaction level of waste segregation is poor or not yet started. Snap Shots

The loan is under the Multi Tranche Financing Facility of the Asian Development Bank to improve certain prioritized urban infrastructures mainly in the sectors of water supply, solid waste management and sanitation in 5 North Eastern Region Capital Cities namely, Agartala, Aizwal, Gangtok, Kohima and Shillong. The Program will (i) improve the urban infrastructure (ii) strengthen the urban institutions towards better service delivery, project management and implementation.
2. The NERCCDIP is estimated to be completed in a span of 6 years. The program in Kohima envisages investments in three projects corresponding to three loan tranches of ADB. The State Investment Program Management & Implementation Unit is the implementing agency at State level. M/s CDM Smith India Private Limited (Formerly Wilbur Smith Associates) has been engaged as the Design, Construction Supervision & Management Consultant (DSMC) for this city.
3. Two subprojects are taken up under tranche-1, one in the sector of Water Supply (WS) and another in Solid Waste Management (SWM), are now under implementation in Kohima. The water supply sub project is for the refurbishment of the existing Kohima Water Supply Scheme. The solid waste management sub project focuses in developing a new solid waste management site in the outskirts of Kohima at Lerie.
4. Two subprojects were planned originally under Tranche-2. The major one is the civil work for providing a new underground water supply distribution pipe system for a total length of 318 km. The contract agreement has been executed in February 2013 and the trenching & laying of pipes was started in January, 2014. Around 25.54% (as on 31st Dec, 2015) of the works has been completed against the revised targeted progress of 33.95%. The work could be completed within one year. The other subproject in Tranche-2 is for installation of 21 bulk water meters & 6000 metered connections in the new distribution system. The works can be started only after a substantial work progress at site of the above mentioned contract package for laying distribution net-works.
5. Apart from the above two sub projects envisaged originally, 4 new additional subprojects were also proposed under Tranche-2 which is listed out in Table 2.
6. This is the consolidated report on implementation of Social Safeguard Activities for the period from 1stJuly, to 31st Dec 2015, and this is prepared in compliance with the ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement, (SPS 2009). 2 Implementation Arrangements 7. The Ministry of Urban Development (MOUD) is the national-level executing agency (EA) of the program. An IPCC is also established in MOUD incorporating a Social Safeguard Officer. A National Steering Committee (NSC) will monitor the fund use and overall implementation performance of the Investment Program. In each State there will be a State Steering Committee (SSC), an Investment Program Empowered Committee (IPEC) and a State Investment Program Monitoring and Implementation Unit (SIPMIU).The SIPMIU is responsible for overall program implementation, monitoring and supervision in the respective cities.
1393
8. The SIPMIU will have a Social Safeguard Unit headed by a sociologist. Depending on the anticipated volume of resettlement and other related issues, a Resettlement Officer & supporting NGOs may be required as part of the Unit. ROs and NGOs will be responsible for RP implementation. However, in small projects where resettlement issues are not anticipated or minimal, an extensive staffing in the SSU is not essential. In case any resettlement issues arise during the subsequent stages of implementation, the services of competent personnel/ agencies like RO/ NGO shall be engaged. The generalized institutional roles of the involved entities are identified in Table 1 as a guide line. The Social Safeguards Unit under SIPMIU will take care of redressing grievances and mitigating negative social impacts caused due to the project with the aid of the existing system and shall request the Program Director for further reinforcement of support staff/ NGOs if required.

Introduction 10. In order to identify the Resettlement Impacts, if any, due to the subproject implementation, SIPMIU officials & DSMC experts have carried out sufficient site visits and consultative inspections in the project areas during the preparation of RP. Based on this and further discussions held with the local public in the city, it has been confirmed that the implementation of the above subprojects would not have any Involuntary Resettlement (IR) impact at any stage. Hence all the 8 sub projects of tranche-1&2 with respect to Involuntary Resettlement impact would be under „Category C‟. However, periodic site visits and discussion with local public will be continuing during the project implementation to confirm that no resettlement issues remain unnoticed or unaddressed. 4.2. Scope of Impact 4.2.1. Tranche -1 Sub Projects 11. Solid Waste Management: Permanent land acquisition is not envisaged in both the sub projects taken up under tranche -1. The development of Solid Waste
1437 Management Plant at Leire is confined in the land owned by the Kohima Municipal Corporation. The construction activities are in a final stage and the progress till 31st December 2015 is 98%.
12. As the SWM site at Lerie is surrounded by agricultural lands, three households having agricultural land nearby the SWM site encroached to the area earmarked for SWM (but far away from SWM site as well as green belt area) .They constructed 3 cattle sheds and shelters for cattle care takers (at the upper side of SWM site). This was noticed in the month of September 2013 and a meeting was arranged by resettlement specialist of DSMC immediately (on 21st September 2013) to discuss the issues with encroachers. During that meeting they had agreed to vacate the land based on the request of SIPMIU (details of the meeting was illustrated in the semiannual report prepared for the period from July to December, 2013). However this issue was remained unsettled for a long period, further district administration was informed by SIPMIU to intervene in the issue and District Collector (DC) has inspected the site in the month of June, 2014. Due to the delay in resolving the issue amicably, KMC & SIPMIU took a decision to re-demarcate the boundary excluding the encroachment portion which is not really required for any civil construction. The fencing works to protect the land from further encroachment has been done for a length of 120m out of 750m (height is 1.8m). The remaining length shall be completed at the earliest.
13. Water Supply: 17 tanks out of 18 are commissioned. The construction of the remaining 1 tank (Assam Rifles HQ) is now proposed under Tranche-2 as Additional Work. No IR issues are identified at these project locations during this reporting period. The construction of refurbishment of the old water treatment plant at Jotsoma including installation of two new electro chlorinators are completed in the month of November 2015. New water treatment plant has been inaugurated on 26th Nov 15. Photographs of inaugural function are attached as Appendix 1.
14. In addition to the above, SIPMIU is proposing following works at SWM site in Lerie under Tranche 1 as additional works.
Construction of 15 retaining walls Restoration of damaged approach road Construction of one step drain 15. Details of the activities proposed for additional work under Tranche 1 will be provided in the next report. 4.2.2. Tranche -2 Sub Projects 16. Laying of new water supply distribution network of pipe lines of total length of 318 km in Kohima Municipal Area is the major work planned under water supply sub project of tranche-2. The civil works are proposed to be carried out within the existing RoW and road shoulders. Therefore, no land acquisition is envisaged in this sub project. Digging along the existing right-of ways (RoW) of city roads for laying of these lines will have no impacts as the proposed pipelines will be laid on the edge of the road. The maximum required trench width for laying down of different sizes of pipe lines range between 30cm to 100 cm only and can be accommodated in the road shoulders. At locations where there are permanent structures blocking the alignment of pipe lines, suitable measures to deviate these structures by using appropriate pipe bends are provided at the stage of pipe line design itself. Care is also taken to minimize adverse impacts by selection of appropriate alignment for the pipe lines. The trenching, pipe laying, jointing & pressure testing works etc., inside the city will be done in a phased manner & fast pace to minimize the period of disruption. The details of the works have been
1448 communicated to the State PWD who is maintaining the PWD& Municipal roads in Kohima.
17. Advance notices (based on the construction plan developed by the civil contractor) to the residents of the area will be given at least 7 days prior to the commencement of the civil works in the respective locality. The Community Organizers (COs) mobilized in SIPMIU under Sociologist shall undertake the activities of construction facilitation with the guidance of Community Development & Construction Facilitation expert of DSMC. The COs shall be trained periodically. Sufficient provision is also made in the contract agreement for the repair of roads, providing temporary access across the pipe line trenches (wherever necessary), repair of existing water pipe lines, cables, electric posts, dust prevention, soil erosion and all other similar menaces.
18. The joint site visits carried out by the Resettlement Specialist of DSMC along with water supply design engineers did not identify any IR impact and the presence of IPs. However, in case of any change in locations and scope of work, IR screening and RPs (if required) shall be prepared and disclosed in ADB & EA web sites.
19. Since Nagaland Government is not maintaining any land records, disputes on ROW shall be settled through discussions during the time of project implementation, the service of Community Organizers (appointed under SIPMIU for community participation) shall be utilized for these activities. Social Safeguard Expert of SIPMIU, Resettlement Specialist and Construction Facilitation and Public Awareness Experts of DSMC will play a leading role in addressing the people‟s concerns during the project implementation. The disagreement raised by the local community on the boundary of SWM (lower side) is settled through such discussions and the same community has been given the work of constructing boundary fencing to take them in confidence. 4.2.3. Status of civil construction and RP implementation 20. The Status of civil construction and RP implementation in Tranche-1&2 sub projects is abstracted in Table 3 below Table 3: Status of Civil Construction and RP Implementation Sl Subproject Activities Status of RP no sector & Implementation corresponding Tranche 1 Water Supply Construction of 18 new RCC No IR Impact (Tranche-1) Reservoirs Renovation of water treatment plant at Jotsoma Supply & installation of chlorinators 2 Solid Waste Development of a new solid No IR Impact Management waste management site with (Tranche-1) sanitary landfill, leachate treatment plant and all other essential infrastructure at Lerie 3 Water Supply New water supply distribution No IR Impact.

1459 4.2.4 Additional Works proposed under Tranche -2
21. Integrated SWM: Works under this subproject includes the procurement of vehicles, construction of rest rooms and construction of dry waste segregation unit. As construction of rest rooms and dry waste segregation unit is planned within the boundary of existing SWM site, no additional land is required for this sub project. 22. Construction of 5 community toilet blocks: The lands earmarked for the two locations are belonging to Kohima Municipal Council (KMC) itself. The remaining 3 belong to three private individuals. Table 4 below shows the Ownership Details of lands. All these three land owners have voluntarily surrendered the land required for the project. The base line (Involuntary Resettlement Screening) survey conducted on 12-02-2014, shows that all the lands earmarked for construction of community toilet blocks are uninhabited and barren. Based on the above assessments the subproject has been categorized as “C” for Involuntary Resettlement (IR) impact as per the ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009. Hence no Resettlement Plan (RP) needs to be prepared for this sub project at this stage. A SIA & IR screening report was prepared for this sub project and submitted for ADB‟s review. The report shall be further modified based on the review comments.

23. Construction of 7 Service Reservoirs: Under this subproject,7 new service reservoirs are proposed for 9 hydraulic zones (with multiple compartments at two locations).Table 5 shows the ownership details of lands. The lands earmarked for 3 storage tanks are in possession of Government of Nagaland (2 belonging to PHED & one belonging to Land Revenue Department).Consents of these departments have been received. The other 3 lands belong to private land owners and the remaining one belongs to T-Khel (the traditional land owners). Full ownership of all these 4 lands also have been voluntarily given to KMC by these land owners. Hence, all the 7 lands are in possession of the Government.

This subproject will not entail any private land acquisition and involuntary resettlement. Based on the above assessments, the subproject has been categorized as “C” for Involuntary Resettlement (IR) impact as per the ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009. Hence no Resettlement Plan (RP) needs to be prepared for this sub project at this stage. A SIA& IR screening report was prepared for this sub project and submitted for ADB‟s review. The report shall be further modified based on the review comments.
25. Development of a Septage Management Unit: The Plant shall be constructed in the land owned by KMC at Dzuruzou in the outskirts of the city, 3 km minimum from any habitation. KMC is having around 40 hectares of single piece land in that location and the project requires only one hectare. The approach road is already in place and under use by vehicles transporting solid waste to the dumping site. 4.3. Status of RP implementation 26. As discussed above the subprojects taken up under Tranche 1 & 2 do not impart any sort of IR and IP impacts and hence the status of RP implementation is not relevant here. However the subproject wise IR impact status has been summarized in Table 3 above. As part of sensitizing the importance and reviewing the status of safeguard compliance during the subproject implementation periodic meetings have been conducted at construction sites. Details are summarized in Table 6 below. The project managers and site engineers of civil contractors and safeguard specialists of SIPMIU and DSMC along with technical staff attended the workshops and clarified their doubts.
4.4. Activities carried out for Public Participation and GAP 27. Various activities conducted in the sector of Community Development, Public Participation and Gender Development during the period from 1st July, 2015 to 31st December, 2015 is summarized in below in Table 6. Snap shots of the activities conducted in this period is given in Appendix -2. 4.5. Status of Pilot Project on SWM 28. A pilot project (PP) on SWM was started on 1st of July 2014 for a period of six months. 2 out of 19 wards of KMC have been selected for the pilot project. A brief report on pilot project is attached as Appendix 3.

29. In addition to this, SIPMIU had conducted mass awareness program in coordination with an NGO- Project 72 Hrs., which is functioning for the motto of “clean Kohima”. Awareness on waste segregation at home is spread through street play, wall paintings, announcement etc., throughout the city area. Distribution of dust bins can be done to the remaining wards in coordination with KMC soon after getting dustbins. 5 Compliance status of loan covenants 30. The compliance status with respect to loan covenants is presented in Table 7 below Table 7: Status of Loan Covenants Sl No Loan Covenant Agency Status of Compliance 1 GOI and the State will ensure Government of No private land that all land and right of way India & acquisition and required for the investment Government of resettlement issues program are made available in Nagaland are involved under timely manner. Adequate any of the compensations are provided subprojects under prior to the signing of relevant the Investment civil work contracts, and Program. Hence involuntary resettlement is RPs has not been carried out in accordance with prepared. the resettlement frame work (RF) and resettlement plans (RPs) agreed upon between the Government and ADB. An RP will be prepared for each sub project involving land acquisition and resettlement and shall be submitted to ADB for review and approval prior to award of any related civil work contract. 2 GOI and the State will ensure Government of No negative Impact that sub projects will not India & on vulnerable negatively impact on vulnerable Government of groups groups, such as indigenous Nagaland people.

Priority work will be given to people from the area where the works are implemented and men and women will receive equal pay for work of equal value. 5 Within six months of the Government of Notification dated Effective Date, the State shall Nagaland 18th January 2013 have established a grievance reporting and redressal mechanism 6 Project Impact 31. The subprojects now being taken up in Kohima under the investment program in the sector of water supply & solid waste management as well as the efforts for the capacity building of Kohima Municipal Council will speed up the pace of the socio economic development of the City by substantially improving the urban environment and living standards of the citizens. The implementation of the subprojects will not create any major adverse impact on community. 7 Policy and Legal Framework 32. The policy framework and entitlements for all the subprojects of the investment program under tranche 1&2 are based on the National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 2007 (NRRP) and ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement, (SPS) 2009.
15115 8 Validation and Verifications of APs 33. Since the subprojects are falling in the „C‟ category as per ADB Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1995) for Tranche-1 and ADB Safeguards Policy Statement (2009) for Tranche-2, no RP was prepared. 9 Public Consultations and Disclosure of RP 34. Public consultation and information dissemination are treated as a two way process through which the information is passed on to public and their feedback is sought to understand their issues. In addition to the discussion of specific issues, details about the safeguard policies and GRC of the project are broadcasting in all public meetings. The consultative process shall be continued throughout the project period. The activities conducted during the current reporting period is summarized in Table.6 10 Grievance Redressal 35. A Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) has been constituted as per the guideline of EMP. However no complaints have been registered under GRC. 11 Monitoring and Reporting 36. As part of streamlining the collection and segregation of household waste before commissioning the SW plant at Leire, awareness on segregation of household waste at source have been done along with demonstration at each Village council in the presence of public representatives and officials from SIPMIU. This has been implemented as a pilot project in 2 out of 19 wards of KMC. All the households in the selected two wards have been issued free dust bins (1 green for wet waste and 1 blue for dry waste) followed by the awareness programs. Gender sensitization activities and plan for inclusive (gender) development shall also be discussed throughout the program. 37. After completion of pilot wards, awareness on segregation of waste has been spread over to 9 adjacent colonies of pilot wards. But dust bins have not been issued to these colonies but will be distributed soon after getting the second allotment of dustbins. 38. Further SIPMIU had focused on mass awareness program in coordination with an NGO- Project 72 Hrs. Various activities like street play, wall painting, announcement etc., have been conducted throughout the city on a regular interval to promote waste segregation at household level. It has been noted that all the said activities helped the project authority to successfully convey the message on waste segregation to the community. In addition to this, free dustbins to the remaining wards could be completed after getting the next allotment of dustbins. 12 Conclusion and Action Plan 39. The pilot project (for streamlining of source segregation, collection and transportation) is successfully implemented in two wards of KMC. Pilot project includes awareness on waste segregation at source and distribution of free dust bin to households, commercial and institutional properties in the selected two wards. In addition to this 9 adjacent colonies were selected under phase 2 of pilot project and awareness on waste segregation has been provided but due to the shortage, dust bins could not be provided. Regarding the remaining wards, mass awareness on waste segregation at source and segregated collection has been done in coordination with an NGO- Project 72 Hrs. Free dustbins will be provided soon after getting the second allotment of dustbin for the 9 colonies selected under phase 2 of pilot project and the remaining wards in KMC.

24 160 Appendix 3 Brief Report on Pilot Project
A pilot project (PP) on SWM was started on 1st of July 2014 for a period of six months. Three Community Organisers (CO) were selected and trained to work at community level for the pilot project. 2 wards namely Lower Chandmari (ward no 13) and Poterlane & Old Ministers Hill (ward no 14) were selected for the pilot project. During pilot project, most of the Schools, Churches, Sectors, Block were covered up in providing awareness on SWM. Public were sensitized on waste segregation, hygienic, and clean Kohima. Free dust bins for households, commercial and institutional properties to segregate waste at source itself were provided to these two wards on 8th October 2014 and 1st July 2015.
During this short period of six months different institutions were sensitized on waste segregation and various small gatherings, corner meetings, and meetings with Angawadi, door to door awareness on SWM and focus group discussion were carried out parallely. In this six months period household bins (Blue- 35 liters for dry waste and Green- 20 liters for wet waste) were provided to all the households in these two wards (total 3400 sets of free dust bins provided). The colony were provided barrels-200 liter for their waste collection vehicle for wet waste. This exercise helps the waste collection team in segregated waste collection. 4 backpack laborers were provided for the pilot project wards to ease the door to door collection and improve the quality of segregated collection. The waste collected from these three colonies (2 pilot wards) were kept differently even in the dumping site and the dry waste further segregated. As most of the households are having their own piggery/ gardening at home and all the kitchen waste (wet) will be used for this, the quantity of wet waste as compared to the dry waste is very less. The different types of dry waste segregated during the pilot project are as follows;
metals (150 kgs)
plastics (145 kgs)
Pet bottles (260 kgs)
glass bottles (200 bags)
aluminum (30 kgs)
carton(480 kgs)
polythene (160 kgs).
The exact quantity of wet waste was not measured but the same will be done in future.
The 2nd Pilot phase (PP-II) was held on 23rd May 2015 at Govt Middle School Lower Chandmari. In this phase 15 colonies were selected adjacent to the two pilot wards. Following are the colonies selected for 2nd pilot phase;
1. Upper Chandmari
2. Lower PWD
25 161 3. Middle PWD
4. Upper PWD
5. New Ministers Hill
6. Leirie
7. Forest
8. Agri
9. Electrical Colony
10. Meweibogei
11. PR hill
12. Upper Jail
13. Lower Jail
14. Supply
15. Ag Colony.
Various institutions in these colonies were sensitized on waste segregation at source. List of households under the 15 colonies were collected to distribute free dust bins (blue & green) but the bins are yet to receive hence awareness on waste segregation has been provided to the selected colonies in Kohima town. For the speedy completion of awareness on waste segregation to all the households in Kohima town, it was decided to carry out the further awareness program in coordination with an NGO (Project 72 whose main moto is “clean Kohima”). With this NGO, different activities was carried out such as power point presentation in all panchayat, street art, street plays, announcing every evening regarding waste segregation in different languages/dialects. Intensive awareness on waste segregation and the use of two colored bins are still in progress along with the NGO.

SEMI-ANNUAL SOCIAL SAFGUARD MONITORING REPORT (July to December, 2015) - SHILLONG
1. Introduction: North Eastern Region Capital Cities Development Investment Program (NERCCDIP) is being undertaken for improvement of existing infrastructure, environmental quality and access to basic urban services Shillong Planning area. The NERCCDIP’s objective is to improve the urban environment and promote reforms for sustainable, efficient, and responsive urban service delivery. The primary drivers for the initiation of NERCCDIP have been bridging the gaps in urban infrastructure provision, supplementing financial resources and technical capacity and meeting the unmet urban public health and sanitation needs. The various Program components are Water supply, Sewerage and Sanitation, Solid Waste Management infrastructure. With an overall objective of sustainable urban development, the NERCCDIP is being implemented in the five capital cities - Agartala, Aizawl, Kohima, Gangtok and Shillong. NERCCDIP implemented over a six year period beginning in 2010, and is funded by a loan via the Multi- tranche Financing Facility (MFF) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The expected impact of the Investment program is improved environment and well-being of urban residents in the five cities. The expected outcomes of the Investment Program will be an increased access to better urban services for the 1.5 million people expected to be living in the Investment Program cities by the 2014. To this end, the program will improve urban infrastructure and services, strengthen urban institutions for better service delivery, improve program management and implementation capacity. In Shillong, the Executing Agency (EA) for the program is the Urban Development Department (UDD) of the Government of Meghalaya; and the Implementing Agency (IA) is the State-level Investment Program Management and Implementation Unit (SIPMIU), created within the UDD, specifically for the Investment Program implementation. At central level Investment Program Coordination Cell (IPCC) is established in MOUD. IPCC is responsible for overall management of the Investment Program and is support Program Management & Monitoring Consultants (PMMC).
1.1 Background and Context of the Report: The present solid waste infrastructure and practices in Greater Shillong Planning Area (GSPA) is inadequate for the needs of the growing population. Greater Shillong Planning Area consists of Shillong Municipality, Shillong Cantonment, 10 census townships and 26 rural components. There are different authorities responsible for collection and transportation of solid waste within the different units of GSPA. The final disposal however takes place in a centralized disposal site at Marten which is around 8Kms away from the city. This site has been in use since 1938 and is reaching its saturation point. On the whole the city lacks an integrated approach to solid waste management. Under tranche 1 and 2 of ADB assisted NERCCDIP, various SWM sub projects were taken up. Those sub projects under tranche 1 and 2 are: 1] Development of short term landfill site and associated works with in the area of existing land fill site of 6500 sq.mts and added area of 8500 sq.mts; 2] Construction of garage cum workshop shed and staff rest room at old landfill site at Marten, Mawiong.; 3] procurement of primary, secondary collection vehicles and workshop machineries; and 4] procurement of different types of bins and personnel protective equipment respectively.

2.4.6 Contractors’ compliance to safeguard norms and monitoring: The contractor is following the local labour law of Government of Meghalaya including providing equal wage to male and female labour as required under the contract.
2.4.7 Gender Action Plan (Public Consultation, Implementation of GAP as per agreement with ADB): The activities undertaken during the reporting period has been presented in table 7.
2.4.8 Distribution of Household waste Bins-Priority to female headed households Asian Development Bank (ADB) strongly emphasises on bridging the gender gap. In its policy framework, it highlights that women are given priority and are treated as equal. Therefore, under the NERCCDIP programme, and following the mandate of ADB’S policy framework, the CPPA-DSMC team focuses on giving priority to female headed households.
Before the distribution of bins in each locality, awareness-training programme is given to all residents. It is expected that one member from each family attends the awareness training programme and that the learning’s are shared with other members of their respective families. Once the distribution day is announced to the residents of the locality, it is made certain that elderly women and female-headed household should be the first to receive the bins. As many as ten women are selected from the locality by the executive committee members to be the first recipients to receive the one time grant bins. Each household receives one slip, which permits them to collect the bins. These slips are verified by the Dorbar Shnong and then entered by the Govt. officials for record keeping. Serial numbers are allocated to each slip. The distribution of bins is held at an open space and is usually inaugurated by the local MLA. The MLA hands over the bins to the women.
Similarly, a number is entered at the back of each slip and a signature is obtained in the registration sheet. This is to confirm that the bins have been taken by a particular household. After a formal inauguration of the event, the FHH and elderly women are given priority to be the first recipients of the household waste bins.
The NERCCDIP programme stresses majorly on the participation of women. Wherever there are local Dorbar meetings, it ascertains that women representatives participate. It is believed that women are the right people to enforce rules and regulations. They are the ones to make a system fall in place. Their participation and inclusion builds the progress faster with positive results.
Distributions of the household bins were started on 11th October 2014.Till December 31 2015, 60284 bins have been distributed to 30142 households. The colony wise distribution is presented in following table 5. Table 5: Household Waste Bins Distribution in SMB Area (As on 31st December 2015)

2.4.10 Public Consultations and Training on Income Generating Activities for Indigenous Women a. A Public Consultation cum Capacity Building for indigenous women at Madanryting Dorbar Pyllun was organised on 17th October 2015 at 10:00am at the community hall. Altogether 54 women participated in the workshop including the executive members and the Seng Kynthei of Madanryting, five MSW interns from MLCU and five DSMC staff. The workshop started with a welcome speech from the secretary of the Seng Kynthei highlighting the benefit of the workshop for the indigenous women. Ms Georgina, DSMC highlighted briefly on the NERCCDIP programmes and communicated the programme schedule for the Workshop. The facilitators organised a participatory group activity in which the participants were divided into 3 groups and asked to do a free listing of issues and problems faced by women at the social level, problems faced by women and youth. The outcome details are presented below:
• The participants come from weaker backgrounds and expressed that livelihood enhancement will help them better their lives and living standards. A few of the women seemed learned but because of poverty, were compelled to drop out from school at an early age and take to menial jobs to sustain their lives. Even their current jobs cannot sustain them and are finding difficulty in making ends meet. They all expressed that trainings on skill development will help them take to better sustainable activities for which they will be able to support their families. • The resource person, Mr Ricky, Bethany Society, made a presentation with live demonstration on various composting technologies. He explained the dangers of felling of trees, dangers when animals are hunted down and when streams, lakes, rivers are contaminated and air polluted. Discussing about waste he opined that often people put the blame on another’s for dumping garbage indiscriminately onto the roads and streams.
• Mr Ricky displayed products such as earrings, plastic baskets and napkin holders made from plastic bottles and bags. He demonstrated on how to compost biodegradable waste using G2G granules, how to make a trench for depositing the waste after 30 days and how to use the compost once it is ready. The compost once ready can either be used in its original form or sieved and packaged for selling.
• The women group can form into a Self Help Group and start with composting of waste. Once the group has hands-on experience, the compost can be marketed to line Government Departments.
b. On 28th Sept 2015, a workshop was organised for the Commerce students of Shillong College who wanted to explore business opportunities through waste recycling and waste re-use. A total of 35 participants attended the presentation and discussions. Shillong College is deciding to integrate a syllabus of waste management into their curriculum for which two teachers have kept in touch with DSMC.
c. A workshop was co-organised with the Deputy Commissioner, East Khasi Hills District and his office on Promoting Best Practices of Solid Waste and Plastic Waste Management. The
18317
SEMI-ANNUAL SOCIAL SAFEGUARDMONITORING REPORT
programme was held at the Urban Complex on the 1st October 2015. Altogether 27 participants attended the programme.
d. A Public Consultation cum training was organised for the Teachers of the North Eastern Hill University in the NEHU conference Hall on 7th October 2015. DSMC staff were the resource persons to share information on the waste management scenario and the ways of best practices like segregation and recycling that leads to Zero Waste. Altogether 63 Professors, Lecturers and administrative staff of the University attended the programme.
e. On 16th October 2015, A planning meeting was held in coordination with the Deputy Commissioner, on how best waste management and clean city can be shown during the International Terra Madre Festival could be managed. Since about 60 country representatives are visiting the city, it was important to give a face lift and the consultation was on how to go about. DSMC presented a brief on the Zero Littering Campaign and what school and college children can do to make the city cleaner. A few schools and colleges offered to organise cleaning drives in their surroundings. Altogether 60 participants attended the consultative meeting.
f. On 31st October 2015, About 360 students from various schools participated in a painting competition on the theme “The City I want to live in” and the paintings depicted an ideal Shillong city that is Clean Orderly and peaceful by the young artists. This competition was organised as part of the Swachh Bharat Mission that was entrusted to the NERCCDIP staff to give a lead.
g. A review and Input session was organised fro the Supervisors and Inspectors of the Shillong Municipal Board on the 30th November 2015. The SIPMIU Director gave a lead and shared a perspective and well as the attitude required to implement the NERCCDIP properly in the city. A total of 21 second layer functionaries of SMB attended the session.
2.4.11 Strategies and Approach to Create Awareness on SWM in Areas outside the SMB There are 62 (Sixty Two) Dorbar Shnongs (Localities) in the areas outside the Shillong Municipal Board (SMB). Out of the 62 Localities, 8 Localities (4 from Laitkor Dorbar Pyllun and 4 from Mawdiangdiang) have written to the Government of Meghalaya that they would not want the SWM programme under the NERCCDIP to cover their localities. Incidentally these 8 villages are quite remote from the city and also they have their own traditional practices of waste management like composting of Bio-degradable waste and deep burial or burning of the Non biodegradable waste, which is well-practiced by residents of 4 Dorbar Shnongs in Laitkor area. This approach to create awareness and to solicit participation is for the people of the 54 localities outside the SMB.
The new system to be introduced in waste management for Shillong requires adequate information reaching to all residents of the city. To ensure that the communities developed a sense of ownership of the new and rehabilitated infrastructure and services the NERCCDIP has to include a major focus on
18418
SEMI-ANNUAL SOCIAL SAFEGUARDMONITORING REPORT
community awareness and participation component. Given the complex power structures in the city of Shillong, where each Headman exercises absolute control of the people, he has to be taken into confidence to solicit his co-operation and acceptance for the implementation of the project in the locality. To do this the CPPA team’s pro-active role to develop rapport and advocate participation of the Headmen and together with him the communities, will be important for successful implementation and sustainability of the project.
Under the ADB assisted NERCCDIP project, the Govt. of Meghalaya has earmarked some vehicles for the Dorbar Shnongs in the GSPA. The same project will distribute also the one time grant of two different coloured household waste bins to all households. Some Personal Protective Equipments (PPE), Wheel Barrows and litter bins for installation at few important public places are also earmarked. These assets can be availed by SWM units of the Dorbar Shnong/Pyllun/NGO.
The government requires an ULB/NGO/SWM unit of Dorbar Shnong to enter into an MOU, so as to avail the assets under the NERCCDIP project. The vehicles, PPE, and wheel Barrows will be made available with signing of an MOU with the Govt. There are few options for SWM for the localities falling in areas outside the Municipality:
1. Each Dorbar Shnong deciding to operate SWM on their own will enter into an MOU with the Urban Affairs Department, Govt of Meghalaya as per the format circulated already.
2. Any Dorbar Shnong may decide to outsource SWM service agencies. In this case the Dorbar Shnong may authorise the agency to enter in to MOU with the government to avail of the assets from the project.
3. Different Dorbar Pyllun may start a united initiative to manage the SWM in the Pyllun. In such cases the body set up by the Pyllun will sign the MOU with the Government of Meghalaya and avail the equipments and operate the SWM in the localities of the Pyllun. The advantage of working through an agency facilitated by the Pyllun is that the waste management can be enforced uniformly in a larger area, as well as launch a business model to give employment to a sizable number of men and women. Such institution can be a better option as it gives sustainability, as well as better manage the waste and be accountable.
Salient features of the new system:
• Segregation of waste at Source i.e. at the household levels.
• Dedicated collection of the segregated waste to ensure that only segregated waste would be collected.
• Dedicated transport of the segregated waste by the collection vehicles to the 8 Transfer Points that will cover for the entire 92 Dorbar Shnongs of the GSPA.
• The compactors from the 8 transfer points move towards the landfill site or to the Compost plant according to the waste they have received.

If some families gives mixed up waste while others give segregated waste this project plan will not work and the coloured bins supplied to every household will go wasted. Hence, to avoid such a situation the following must be done by the Government and the Consultants:
a. As far as possible, reach all residents of the entire GSPA with the training package on the best practices of Solid waste management. The process will require about 200 training programmes to be conducted in the 54 Dorbar Shnongs of the areas outside SMB. (Some of the Localities have about 10 Dongs with over 4000 households like in Madanrting Dorbar Shnong. It may require more than 10 training programmes to cover the majority of the Households in this particular Dorbar).
b. As far as possible, form Locality Level Task Force to supervise the waste management activities within the Shnong to ensure sustainability of the process. Members of the task force will need special training by the CPPA team.
c. The residents of the areas outside SMB will not play spoil sport to the NERCCDIP in the long run. The training to be imparted to residents outside SMB should not wait long, so that the present resource team and their efforts can be utilized and maximized.
d. The Rangbah Shnongs and the Executive Committee of the Areas outside SMB will require special environment building and PR expertise to get to agree for training and to start practicing the new systems of waste management.
e. It is required to promulgate a rule on uniform practice of Solid waste management, and to aggressively enforce segregation of waste at source in the GSPA. It has to be aggressively enforced, penalize offenders and defaulters and activate the Local Dorbars to participate in management and supervision.

Annexure I: Compliance to National Laws and Policies: Policy and Legal Framework The policy framework and entitlements for the Program are based on national laws: The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 (SPS). The salient features of Government and ADB polices are summarized below.
1. Government Policy`4 The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013(The Central Government has notified January 01, 2014 as the effective date of the act,)
The act provides for transparent process and fair compensation to land owners and those affected by land acquisition, for land acquired for public purpose. In determining market price, (Sec 26 read with 1st Schedule) the land owner in urban area will get twice, due to the 100% solatium and in rural area, the multiplying factor is 1 to 2 depending on distance from nearest urban centre, to be notified by appropriate government, and then 100% solatium.
Traditionally R&R has been in the form of a one-time compensation, which was decided using the last registered sale or a similar sale in the vicinity of the land as a base. After the proposed project is set up, the land prices rise owing to the benefits of the development. This creates considerable dissatisfaction amongst the displaced people. To prevent such issues, the entire R&R package stipulates the provision of employment by the project owner in cases where jobs are generated by the project and basic infrastructure including drinking water, individual electric connections, health centre etc for the resettled. Over and above this, delivery of the compensation and the R&R are proposed to be preconditions to the transfer of the land title.
The procedure for acquisition and R&R will include a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) which will cover the investigation of public purpose, minimum extent of land required thereof, estimation of displacement and social impact on affected families apart from the overall cost versus benefit analysis for the proposed project.
The act restricts the use of emergency clause to defense, national security and natural calamities. Since there is no land acquisition in “legal terms” in this subproject, therefore this is not applicable.
2. ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 (SPS) The three important elements of ADB’s involuntary resettlement policy are
1. Compensation to replace lost assets, livelihood, and income;

44 SEMI-ANNUAL SOCIAL SAFEGUARDMONITORING REPORT
2. Assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and
3. Assistance for rehabilitation to achieve at least the same level of well-being with the project as without it.
For any ADB operation requiring involuntary resettlement, resettlement planning is an integral part of project design, to be dealt with from the earliest stages of the project cycle, taking into account the following basic principles:
i. Involuntary resettlement will be avoided whenever feasible.
ii. Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized.
iii. All lost assets acquired or affected will be compensated. Compensation is based on the principle of replacement cost.
iv. Each involuntary resettlement is conceived and executed as part of a development project or program. Affected persons need to be provided with sufficient resources to re-establish their livelihoods and homes with time-bound action in co-ordination with civil works.
v. Affected persons are to be fully informed and closely consulted.
vi. Affected persons are to be assisted to integrate economically and socially into host communities so that adverse impacts on the host communities are minimized and social harmony is promoted.
vii. The absence of a formal title to land is not a bar to ADB policy entitlements.
viii. Affected persons are to be identified and recorded as early as possible to establish their eligibility, through a census which serves as a cut-off date, and prevents subsequent influx of encroachers.
ix. Particular attention will be paid to vulnerable groups including those without legal title to land or other assets; households headed by women; the elderly or disabled; and indigenous groups. Assistance must be provided to help them improve their socio-economic status.
The full resettlement costs will be included in the presentation of project costs and benefits.
