Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) iii Planning Report – Bahawalnagar

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

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

1.1.1 Punjab Municipal Service Improvement Project (PIMSIP)

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

1.2 Key Features of PMSIP

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

Municipal Infrastructure development: The project funds the infrastructure schemes after the identification of most pressing development issues of the respective town. Institutional Development: To improve the service delivery , a number of interventions are suggested in the projects like providing maps prepared with GIS, Performance Management System, Financial Management System, Action Planning and various trainings to TMA staff.

1.3 PMSIP Planning

Under PMSIP planning rapid appraisal of municipal services is undertaken to identify service delivery gaps, analyzed needs and guide the means to overcome such gaps. In addition, stakeholder consultation provides the much needed guidance to the planning exercise.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 1 Planning Report – Bahawalnagar

Outcome of this exercise is a municipal service data base, improved mapping and a list of development projects that may be funded by PMSIP.

1.3 Limitations of PMSIP Planning

As every project addresses specific issues, PMSIP has been launched with some limitations as follows:  The PMSIP development grants fund for municipal services only.  PMSIP planning exercise is undertaken at CO Units starting from CO Unit HQ, i.e urban area.  The prioritized list that is developed is restricted to the UCs falling in CO Units. Nonetheless it is assumed that experience gained in the urban areas would be replicated in the entire TMA.

1.4 The Planning Process

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

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

After the identification of the preferred options, a detailed Action plan for each priority sector was developed. Action plans complement the strategy and Spatial plan by setting out short to medium term actions to achieve the desired objectives. The Planning process thus culminates in producing a concise development plan for the town.

Following steps were adopted for the planning process:

1.4.1 Secondary Data Collection

First, the sources were identified for the previous attempts that were made in the town for planning. It includes , DCR, on line data and PHED services maps.

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

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 2 Planning Report – Bahawalnagar

The maps from Public health reflected the water supply and sewerage laid out previously. It was also gathered that the whether the projects have completed their designed life. These plans were again used at the analysis stage and compared with the existing data collected later on.

1.4.2 Mapping

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

1.4.3 Orientation Workshop

A one day, “Orientation workshop on Punjab Municipal Service Improvement Project” was organized on 14th June 2008 for Tehsil Nazims, TMOs ,TOs (I&S) and TOs (P&C) of year 2 partner Tehsil Municipal Administrations. The workshop aimed at briefing the partner TMAs about PMDFC, PMSIP, Action Planning, Institutional development initiatives of PMSIP, Operation and maintenance of urban services and various other issues related to the project.

A presentation was given on infrastructure sub-projects, and the Institutional Development approach of Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP). The Planning Consultant gave a detailed account of Action Planning in PMSIP. To develop some familiarity before the start of the data collection exercise with TMA staff, data collection forms were handed over to TO (I&S).

The workshop achieved the following outcomes:

1. Give the audience a foretaste of PMDFC and PMSIP. 2. Give the top leadership of TMAs an opportunity to develop their mind about the whole planning process. 3. Data collection forms were handed over to TOs for familiarization of the same.

Data Filling Forms Workshop at PMDFC

A few days of handing over the data collection forms to the TMA officials, another workshop was scheduled at PMDFC. This time second line officials were called upon. This meeting led to develop a common understanding between PMDFC and TMA staff about the data collection forms. ATOs and Sub engineers attended the workshop.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 3 Planning Report – Bahawalnagar

The TMAs were called in groups of 3-4 each day so that a close liaison could be developed for knowledge sharing.

A rigorous brain storming session was conducted in which many apprehensions about the forms were removed. The data collection forms were reviewed and planning team made clarifications to TMA officials about these forms. At this stage the data collection forms were finalized.

1.4.4 Field Data Collection

Preliminary meetings

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

Infrastructure Data Collection

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

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

Urban Planning

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

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

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

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 4 Planning Report – Bahawalnagar

1.4.5 Data Analysis

Once the planning team collected the data, all of the forms were arranged in the office. The data was cleaned and integrated. The PMDFC officials contacted the TMA office again if any gaps were found in the collected data. Such additional information was gathered for each sector. Based on the information collected in the field, descriptive maps for all the municipal sectors like water supply, sewerage, solid waste and land use were developed. The analysis report was produced by the planning team by using these maps. This report was again sent to the engineers for futher updation and review and hence a final draft was made.

1.4.6 The Visioning/Prioritization Workshop

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

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

1.4.7 Meeting for the Assessment of options

After the vision and overall objectives were agreed upon and priorities identified the next step in the planning process was to achieve them efficiently and effectively. At this stage the TMA staff and PMDFC synergized their efforts to suggest the viable options for the achievement of the objectives. In this regard, additional field visits were done by PMDFC engineers in the town.

Hence, the outline spatial plan was produced. This plan takes account of options for future physical growth of the town in the light of strategic requirements and existing trends.

After the identification of the preferred options outline proposals for priority sectors were developed. These proposals were appended to the strategy and Action plan.

OUT LINE SPATIAL PLAN CHAPTER 2: TMA PROFILE

2.1 District Profile

2.1.1 History

The district of Bhakkar derives its name from the district headquarters town probably named after Bhakkar Khan alias Bhako, one of the early settlers. The Bhakkar district was created in 1982 after slicing the area from district Mianwali of which it was a part as a sub-dibvision. Besides sub-division Bhakkar, sub-divisions Kullar kot and Mankera were also established to constitute the new district. Moreover, darya Khan has been carved out as independent Tehsil or sub-division in the wake of the re-shuffling of newly created district. Upto 1860 Bhakkar sub-division was known as Darya Khan. At the time of annexation by the British the tract was divided between the old Mankera and Darya khan Tehsils. In 1853-54 Mankera Tehsil was abolished , Khushab Tehsil was transferred to Shahpur, whereas Chaubara, nawan kot and Maujgarhwere incorporated in Darya khan. In 1861 Leiah district was abolished and merged with the new DI Khan along with Bhakkar. On the separation of NWFP from the Punjab in 1901, a further reconstitution took place and Mianwali, Bhakkar and Leiah were formed. In 1909Leiah Tehsil was transferred to Muzzafargarh district. Bhakkar Tehsil of Mianwali district has now been constituted as Bhakkar district from 1st July, 1982with four tehsils as Mankera, Kallurkot, Bhakkar and Darya khan. Bhakkar district is a part of Sargodha district.

Bhakkar was raised to the level of Municipal Committee in 1971-72. After the implementation of Punjab Local Government Ordinance 2001, it was given the status of TMA

2.1.2 Location

It is bounded on north by Mianwali district, on the east by Khushab and Jhang districts. On the south lies district Layya and on the west is Dera Ismail Khan district with river Indus in between these two districts.

2.1.3 Area/Demography

Bhakkar tehsil spreads over an area of 2,427 square kilometres with a population of 424,488 (as per DCR 1998). The detail of CO Unit is as:

3.1 Mapping

TMA has a base map that needs updation. They also have water supply map but it is not up to scale and also need updation. Tehsil map with the TMA also is an old out-dated one.

3.2 Land use

The Bhakkar city has grown in a linear pattern i.e. north south. A railway line passes through the town in the same direction. Another important feature is the canal in the eastern direction.

The land use can be defined in three distinct directions. The extreme eastern side is the institutional zone, the middle and the western side.

The institutional zone is to the eastern side. The major roads in this part are College road, Khansa road, Jhang road etc. Here all the Public buildings are located like DCO office, District Courts, DHQ hospital, District hospital, Wapda Grid station, UC offices, District Nazim office, etc. Educational institutions like Government collge for Women, Government college for Boys, Science college, are present. Adjacent to DCO office is the Gymnasium and Stadium. In this part there are no such residential structures are found. There are mostly vacant plots.

The central part of the town is a mixed use zone. One can found residential area, educational institutions, institutions and industry in this part. Educational institutions that are located here are, Government college, Model High School, Girls High School. In the central part is the office Deputy Commissioner Income tax office along Chang road.

The western side comprises of residential, commercial and some public buildings. GPO chowk, King gate and Hilton chowk are the crossings along which the main commercial activity can be seen. Layyah road is highly commercialized. There are three graveyards in the town. The one is in the north, one in middle and the third is in south. All of the roads are irregular and haphazard. The internal roads are narrow and right of way is not enough.

3.3 Katchi Abadis

There are four katchi abadis in the town i.e. Abadi Pawlian, Gorcha, Chah Ismail wala and Basti Cheema. All of these are located in the south-eastern part of the town. Abadi Pawlian and Gorcha located along Jhang road and basti cheem is located in the west of Housing sheme-II. Water supply is not provided in these abadis.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 4 Planning Report – Bhakkar

3.4 TO(P) Office

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

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 7 Planning Report – Bhakkar CHAPTR 4: STATUS OF MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE

4.1 ROAD NETWORK

Bhakkar is connected to main towns such as Dera Ismail Khan, Layyah, Darya Khan, Jhang, Noorpur Thal with provincial highways. Road hierarchy map shows several provincial highways form a network in the town. Layyah Road enters the town from South and becomes another provincial road known as Godala Road at Qasar-e- Zainab Road. Another provincial road Jhang Road enters the town from South East side and ends at Jhang Chowk. From Jhang Chowk another provincial Road Daraya Khan goes north and meet Godala Road.

Town is divided vertically into two parts by the Mianwali-Layyah branch line of Pakistan Railway. There are two main railway crossings in the town: near Abbad Chowk and Muhammadi Chowk and at Behal Road. In the former, there is a lot of cross movement and is a cause of congestion. An underpass may be constructed at this point. The other at Behal Road is also busy and connects the main Layyah Road and Mandi Town.and Housing Colonies.

Name of primary roads passing through the town and their controlling departments are appended at Annex-I

4.1.1 TMA Roads

Main roads of the town include: College Road, Umar Farooq Road, Behal Road, Muhammadi Road, Lala Dervesh Road, Girls Model High School Road, Sheikh Rao Road and Main Bazar. Most of these roads don’t have drainage facilites along at their sides. Almost all the roads are in good condition, except Mills Road, It is North-South aligned road which connects Chisti Chowk and Mandi Town area and Kachi Abadis. It has surface damage at several locations.

Detail of TMA road data and crossings are placed in Annex – II.

4.1.2 Traffic Congestion

Traffic congestion was observed in major commercial areas such as Layyah Road between GPO Chowk and Qasar-E-Zainab Chowk. Right of way on these roads have been decreased due to encroachment problems, haphazard parking and street hawkers.

Mills Road Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 8 Planning Report – Bhakkar 4.1.3 Parking

There are no proper off-street parking lots in the town. This forces vehicle owners to park on the roads, streets and bazaars. As a result, disorganized and chaotic pattern of parking occurs and reduces road capacity.

4.1.4 CONCLUSIONS

 Town is well connected by a network of provincial highways.

 Major roads owned by TMA are in fair to good condition.

 The major bazaars/commercial areas are suffering from temporary encroachments.

 Available ROW varies from 12ft to 60ft.

 Road drainage in the town is almost non- existent. Gully grating chambers are present on some of the main roads which are either broken or choked.

 Existing Street Lighting system is sufficient.

4.1.5 NEEDS

 Mills Road is a main road that connects Chishti Chowk and Mandi Town and Kachi Abadis.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 9 Planning Report – Bhakkar Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 10 Planning Report – Bhakkar 4.2 Street Lights

Main roads in the town are fully served by street light system; types of street lights provided along road are described in the following table. (Please refer Annex-II for details of roads provided with street light facilities. Presently, the town is only allowed to turn on 50 % of the street lights due to government instructions as an energy saving exercise. There is only one electrician in town and he is working without requisite tools and equipment.

4.3 WATER SUPPLY

4.3.1 Water Service Area

Approximately 60 % of the entire town is served with water supply system whereas rest of the area is without it and people have their own sources of water mostly hand pumps / power pumps. Some areas are partly served with this facility Existing Condition. Source of water in Bhakkar town is ground water. Water table is 40 feet below the ground level. Bhakkar is located at the east bank of River Indus.

4.3.2 Consumer Connections

The total number of consumer connection is 2300. Installation of house service connections is usually performed by plumbers of TMA. Present domestic tariff is Rs 50 per month and commercial is Rs 100. The rates were revised in year 1-07-2007. Connections are not metered and consumers pay by norms rather than actual consumption. Consumption is generally excessive and inefficient in relation to uses of water. Piped drinking water is used for firefighting, while non potable ground water is generally available in the city. Piped water is also used extensively for horticulture.

4.3.3 Tube Wells

To feed the present water supply system, there are 8 tube wells that are operational and working 9.5 hours/day. Total possible water production capacity = 9 cusecs = 3,240,000 Gallons. Present water production capacity = 8 cusecs = 2,880,000.

Detail of tube wells and present production capacity is attached at Annex-III.

4.3.6 Stakeholder Consultations

Consultations with various stakeholders were held during the planning process and in the planning prioritization workshop. Some of the views are as follows: In UC-2 water is being mixing with sewerage network due to blockage in the Mnadi Town area. Discussions with Ch Amir (Al-Noor Welfare Society) and Ch Iftikhar (Qadir Welfare Society) revealed that Moh Samdabad, Moh Masoomabad, Khursheed Shah, Hassanabad, Nazeer Town, Alamabad, Raheemabad don’t have water supply. In addition, there is only one OHR in the town and its not working.

4.3.7 Needs

It seems that there is shortage of water in the town,

I. Net work needs to be provided in the un-served areas.

II. Distribution lines in the entire town needs to be replaced expect in where pipes will be laid under the on going scheme. Other areas have problems of contamination and low pressure because those C.I and G.I pipes were laid in 1964 and have to be replaced.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 15 Planning Report – Bhakkar Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 16 Planning Report – Bhakkar 4.4 SEWERAGE

4.4.1 Existing Sewerage System

Topography of Bhakkar town is flat. Water table is 25 feet below ground level. West part of the town has surface slope towards west into an old river creak, whereas, eastern part of the town has mild slope running towards south. There is only one disposal station in the town located at Mandi Town. Ultimate disposal of this disposal is by a sludge carriers (2500’) length into open fields.

Detail of the disposal station and Pumping machinery are placed at Annex-IV.

4.4.2 Sewerage Coverage

About 75% of the TMA area is covered with the sewerage system. There are a total of six residential areas which are partially served; five residential colonies have no sewerage system. Some areas have problems with the system. List of un-served and partially served areas are given below:

4.4.3 Old Sewerage Schemes

Various sewerage schemes were developed in the town, these are summarized below:

- First sewerage scheme was completed in 1965 by PHED. That network has completed its useful life and all pipes laid at that time have been choked. - Second sewerage scheme was completed by PHED in 1990. In this scheme flow was by gravity into an old river creak flowing at west side of the town. - Third sewerage scheme was completed by Housing Department in its housing society (Mandi Town). Two disposal stations were developed. - Fourth sewerage scheme was completed in PHED in 2000. R.C.C sewerage pipes (9”-30”) and a railway crossing was developed. Flow in this scheme was also by gravity into the old river creak at the west side of the town. - Fifth sewerage scheme was completed by PHED in 2000 in Mohallah Alam Abad by laying sewerage pipes (12”-24”) and the flow by gravity in to river creak at the west side of the town.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 18 Planning Report – Bhakkar 4.4.4 Stakeholder Consultations

Consultations with various stakeholders were held during the planning process and in the planning prioritization workshop. Some of the views are as follows: Discussions with Rao Yaqoob (Preseidemy Anjaman Patients) and Dr Hussnain Ghallu (President National Welfare Society) said that In UC-2 sewerage network is blocked in the Mandi Town area. The network is old and has passed its design life. Pipes are also undersize. Prominent citizens of the town also emphasized the need of a sucker and jetting machine for the operation and maintenance of sewerage system.

4.4.5 Needs

 Sewers in Mandi Town are choked and need replacements.

 Utimate disposal of most sewerage is an old river creek at west side of the town – resulting is large pools of contaminated water. This water needs to be transfered south of the creek and treated to further dispose of to agriculture lands.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 19 Planning Report – Bhakkar Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 20 Planning Report – Bhakkar 4.5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

4.5.1 Existing Collection System

Solid waste management in Bhakkar comprises of primary collection from streets, secondary collection and final disposal. After sweeping the streets and roads the sanitary workers carry the solid waste in wheel barrows driven manually and collect at few disposal points. Sanitary workers work in two shifts 5 am – 3 pm and 3 pm – 6 pm. Solid waste generation in Bhakkar is 36.5 tons per day. Presently, Bhakkar has few collection points and they are not well defined and keep on changing as per need of the sanitation staff.

Sweepers carry the waste into the main disposal points in the town or use the waste to fill vacant plots and depressions in the town.

4.5.2 Existing Service Level

Although the existing secondary collection service delivery level good in the town but due to shortage of equipment and manpower TMA Bhakkar is not capable to serve the entire area of the town. As such some areas have good service delivery level whereas other having lesser attention gets poor service. Mohallas with frequent complaints: Moh Eid Gah Janubi, Moh Dhadla, Moh Chimini and Moh Eid Gah Shumali.

4.5.3 Existing Land Fill/Dumping Sites

No proper landfill site is available in or out side of the town. Solid waste is dumped in open spaces 1) near old river creek at Sardar Buksh 2) near old river creek at Lala Dervaish, 3) near old river creek at Jhakar, 4) At Mills road near Wapda Office (Railway Land), 5) At Behal Road near Railway line and 6) In front of Railway Station. Open dumping of the waste is creating very unhygienic conditions. Waste Dump near Mandi Town Area Required for Landfill

TMA required 18 acres land for landfills till 2028. For a 10 year span 7 acres would be sufficient. Cost of land as per discussions with the TMA staff is around 3-4 lacks per acre at a distance of 4 km from the town. Details are provided in the following table.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 22 Planning Report – Bhakkar 4.5.5 Stakeholder Consultations

Consultations with various stakeholders were held during the planning process and in the planning prioritization workshop. Some of the views are as follows: Most of the stakeholders were of the view that there should be proper secondary dumping points in the town to pick solid waste. Discussions with prominent citizens such as Sh Ahmad Din, Saeed Ullah, Safdar Hayat revealed that areas such as Mohallas Chimni, Sardar Bakhsh, Mandi Town, Alamabadand and Dhandla have the worst SWM problems.

4.5.6 Needs

 TMA needs 60-70 wheel barrows to collect primary solid waste from households and streets.  Animal carts should be replaced with faster moving light vehicles  Proper secondary points need to be developed for secondary collection to utilize the collection machinery and increase its efficiency.  Waste is dumped inside the city creating unhygienic condition, therefore; a proper landfill site should be developed to dispose of solid waste.  At least, seven (7) acre of land is required to serve the town for next five years; for proper disposal of solid wastes.

CHAPTER 5: WORKSHOP ON VISIONING AND PRIORITIZATION OF DEVELOPMENT SECTORS

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

The following methodology was adopted for the prioritization process

5.1 Pre-Workshop Consultations

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

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

5.2 Workshop Proceedings

The work shop was held on 25th September, 08. It commenced at 11:00 am and was concluded at around 1:00 p.m.

Exhibit: The Workshop

5.3 Workshop Participants

The number of participants was 26. The stake holders were mainly the representatives of the Tehsil Council, members of trade bodies, Union Naib Nazims and councilors.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 29 Planning Report – Bhakkar List of participants is appended at the end of this report.

5.4 The Session

The workshop was formally started in which a presentation was given by PMDFC on the existing situation of the different sectors of the town. The presentation gave a comprehensive account of water supply, sewerage, solid waste management, roads etc in detail with pictorial view of the services. The problems with the existing condition of the infrastructure were highlighted. The Nazim confirmed the improvements needed in sectors identified by PMDFC, in his address to the workshop. He was keen to take up the most pressing issue of the town i.e sewerage through PMDFC. He assured his full support for accomplishing this project. He briefed the workshop participants for his efforts for seeking funds from different departments and organizations for infrastructure development.

5.5 Group Formation

The participants were divided into five groups at random, but it was ensured that people form same UC may not be included in the same group. Each group comprised of 4-5 persons.

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

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

Exhibit: Group discussion

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 30 Planning Report – Bhakkar 5.6 Prioritized Sectors

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

SECTORS PRIORITY Sub-Project

Sewerage 1 Improvement/Extension of Sewerage network Solid Waste 2 Improvement Extension of SWM Management Water supply 3 Improvement/Extension of Water supply Network Roads/Street Lights 4 Rehabilitation of Roads Fire Fighting 5 Improvement of Fire Fighting System Parks 6 Improvement of Parks

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

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 31 Planning Report – Bhakkar CHAPTER 6 INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF TMA MALAKWAL

6.1 Capacity Building at TMA

Field visit of TMA Bhakkar reveals that there is a dearth of I.T skills in the TMA. The staff in Engineering, Finance, Planning and Regulation offices can perform better through effective I.T. training. PMDFC is of the view that I.T training for TMA staff will be an important step towards the computerization of office records and will result in efficient office automation systems. Analysis of data will become easy and errors in record keeping would decrease to a considerable extent. Moreover, I.T skills are also essential for PMSIP interventions like Financial Management System, Complaint Tracking System etc.

PMDFC aims to develop the human resource base of its partner TMAs and considers improvement in service delivery inconceivable without a strong human resource base. TMA staff with right skills set can be expected to provide timely, cost- effective and reliable services to citizens.

In view of the above and on the request of TMA Bhakkar for basic computer training for its staff, PMDFC will fund computer training for the following TMA staff, at a local Computer Training Institute:

Sr. No. Name of Trainee Designation 1 MalIk Javaid Junior Clerk (General Branch) 2 Adnan Qadir Junior Clerk (General Branch) 3 Malik Sultan Junior Clerk (Rent Branch)

PIPs for TMO Office:

After in-depth discussions, the following Performance Improvement Plan is proposed for the office of TMO in TMA Bhakkar. These interventions are envisioned for the first year and further capacity interventions would be initiated in the subsequent years provided TMA qualifies for PMSIP funding in year two and onward.

A. Complaint Cell

TMA complaint cell has been established as per PLGO 2001. It is located near TMO office and also provided with separate telephone line. A complaint register is being maintained to keep track of reported complaints. It is observed that some complaints are also received through verbal communication and are being resolved by TMA staff without keeping any formal record. Response time has not been fixed. Furthermore, TMA has not developed any formal reporting mechanism from concerned staff to TMO regarding disposal of complaints. The complaint tracking system under PMSIP is expected to effectively streamline the TMA Complaint System.

B. Dissemination of Information

TMA Bhakkar has made some basic institutional arrangements for dissemination of information to the citizens. Information is shared at TMA office Notice Board, through “Munadi” and TMA arranges announcement of contracts and tenders in the national newspapers through Director General Public Relations. Sometimes, cable TV is also used by TMA to disseminate the information.

TMA does not have a website to share information and public response or feedback. Like other TMAs, there is no reporting system between the TMA and the Provincial Government. Annual budget is the only way of information forwarded to Provincial Government. Because of its inadequate institutional capacity, TMA needs constant overseeing by the Provincial Government. A watchful Provincial Government can ensure better performance from TMAs. The monitoring system for Provincial Government under PMSIP shall be a great help in this regard.

6.2 Performance Management System

Performance Management System in TMAs is one of the key institutional development components of performance improvement plan (PIP) that PMDFC is

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 33 Planning Report – Bhakkar implementing in partner TMAs. PMDFC has taken the initiative of implementing PMS in its partner TMAs, under the guidance of Mr. Harry P. Hatry and Ms Rittu Nayyar Stone from Urban Institute Washington and World Bank. In March 05, a team of experts from Urban Institute visited PMDFC and arranged a two days workshop (19 & 21 March 05) at Hotel Avari, Lahore on Performance Management System. PMDFC is introducing Performance Management System in Year – II TMAs. Field assessment of the TMA reveals that data exists in rudimentary form regarding performance indicators on municipal services like water supply, solid waste, street lights and sewerage. However, there is lack of data tracking, updation and reporting culture.

6.3 Financial Management System FINANCIAL COMPONENT

Law requires that no Local Government can pass a deficit budget. The intention is to provide built-in mechanism for fiscal efficiency. This constraint forces a Local Government to either raise revenue or to economize in expenditure or to do both. In general a local government has to maintain within its fiscal limits. TMA staff is conversant with the budget formulation process but relies predominantly on the historical data for future projections. Monitoring committees are operative and audit is being conducted regularly. A trend of (OSR) to total revenue is captured in the following table:

Source 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 Cumulative Own Source 53,967,133 56,480,000 65,725,000 176,172,133 55% Revenue Govt. Grants 35,584,000 45,868,000 62,016,000 143,468,000 45% Total 89,551,133 102,348,000 127,741,000 319,640,133 100%

Following ratio of own source revenue to total revenue can be calculated from the above data.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 34 Planning Report – Bhakkar Cumulative Source 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 for 3 years Ratio I = 60% 55% 51% 55% OSR/TOTAL REV

Ratio of Own Source Revenue (OSR) to total revenue has been decreasing over the years. This ratio reflects the fiscal effort of the TMA and it is evident that, on average, the TMA is making efforts to increase OSR but ratio was going down due to increase in government grants. OSR registered an increase in FY 2004-05, FY 2005-06 and 2006-07 In absolute terms OSR was Rs. 53.9 m, 56.4 m and 65.7 m in FYS 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006- 07 respectively. The extraordinary increase in FY 2006-07 was mainly on account of 4 items namely License Fee, Slaughter house, Parking Fee, and Tax on Transfer of Immovable Property (TTIP). Following table shows comparative analysis in the development and non-development expenditures over the years. BUDGET ESTIMATES 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 Cumulative

From the table above it is evident that there was an upward trend in the current expenditures of the TMA over the years. However it is encouraging to see that TMA is with in its budget allocation for non-development expenditures. As far as development expenditures are concerned, TMA Bhakar showed good expenditure management when it was able to utilised all its budget amount for development for 2005-06 and 2006-07. TMA not only utilised all the budgeted amount but also the additional funds provided to it during the year. Hence the Development Expenditure to total budget allocation ratio for both the years is 100 % which is commendable. From the above data performance of TMA regarding development expenditure can be studied against budgeted allocation for the same.
