EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction

The Government of Uttar Pradesh announced the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway in the year 2017 in order to improve road connectivity in the backward regions of Uttar Pradesh. The 296 km stretch of expressway will pass through Chitrakoot, Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Auraiya and Banda. Eastern UP will be connected to Delhi- NCR via Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Agra-Noida through this Expressway.

Land has to be acquired for the construction of Bundelkhand FIGURE 2 ROAD MAP OF BUNDELKHAND EXPRESSWAY Expressway. Acquisition of land is undertaken as per the provisions of Right to Fair Compensation and FIGURE 1PROPOSED MAP OF BUNDELKHAND EXPRESSWAY Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013. The act requires the Government to analyse the socio- economic condition of PAFs, potential social impacts of the project and seek mitigation measures.

This SIA study is a part of Bundelkhand Expressway project and provides an assessment of land acquisition in Banda District, UP. For the current project in Banda district, the Department of Revenue, Banda, Uttar Pradesh in its Notification No. 518/Eight- Vibhuaa/ Banda dated 11th October, 2019 appointed SR Asia to conduct Social Impact Assessment Study in the project affected area, as per the provisions of RFCTLARR Act 2013 and UPRFCTLARR Rules 2016.

Project and public purpose The project aims to transform the backwards districts of the state of Uttar Pradesh where over 95 percent of the population does not have access to proper road and railway infrastructure. The purpose of the project is to substantially reduce the travel time between New Delhi and Bundelkhand region and to provide quality travel experience to the commuters. Other envisaged benefits include generation of employment opportunities, reduction in migration, boost in tourism,

enhancement in agriculture, and establishment of industries near expressway and overall development of the region. The project team is of the opinion that the project is serving public purpose as per section 2 of RFCTLARR 2013.

Project Location The project is spread across six packages from Chitrakoot to Etawah via Banda District. In Banda, the project is passing through three tehsils i.e. Banda, Baberu and Atarra and 26 villages namely Surauli, Bilbai, Hathauda, Pipri, Kanwara, Achraud, Mawai buzurg, Doha, Jaurahi, Jaari, Mahokhar, Tilehata, Jamalpur, Chahitara, Pawai, Bisanda rural, Ghoori, Punahur, Ballan, Chausad, Gandaav, Chandaur, Mawai khurd, Koni, Mohanpurva and Pesta. The nearest railway station is Banda and nearest airport is Gwalior (approx. 100 Km).

Size and attributes of land acquisition Total land required for the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway in Banda district is 794.394 hectares. The district authorities have already acquired majority of land, however, a total of 30.6714 hectares of land is to be acquired in Tehsil Banda, Baberu and Atarra as per provision of RFCTLARR Act 2013. The land for SIA study is owned by 148 families spread over 185 survey numbers. The ownership of land is through heredity and direct purchase. Project Affected Families use the land majorly for agricultural purpose, which is their main source of income. Further details are mentioned in Table -1.

Alternatives considered The team has assessed for the possibility of alternative route; however, majority of the expressway land has already been acquired by the district administration and in and around there is agriculture land only. Hence the current layout of the road is appropriate and other alternatives are not suggested.

Social Impacts The project will have both positive and negative impacts on the PAFs, local population and environment. On one hand, it will lead to the holistic development of the region- improving road connectivity, enhancing access to other parts of the country, reducing travel time, increasing employment opportunities, minimizing migration, and contributing in better state of art & infrastructure. The project will prove to be a positive step in national interest. However, it will be at the cost of people whose land will be affected due to its construction. Some of the PAFs will lose their land substantially which is a source of income for them. Village Tilheta will see

SIA Report of Bundelkhand Expressway Project in District Banda, UP, India dislocation of its years-old Mosque. Temples of village, Mawai Buzurg, Ghoori and Gadaanv will also be affected which are worshipped by residents. University of Agriculture and technology, Banda will also be affected that will automatically impact students and teachers.

The loss of individual and community assets such as tube wells bore wells and trees will also affect environment and access to natural resources, but appropriate mitigations suggested will ensure and maximize the overall positive impact.

Mitigation measures The potential negative impacts of the project can be minimized by adopting mitigation measures. In order to mitigate economic impacts, the PAFs should be compensated as mandated under Section 26-31 of the RFCTLARR 2013. During the construction phase, preference should be given to the PAFs for income generation opportunities depending on the impact on their source of livelihood. This would compensate the livelihood options which are likely to be affected due to the acquisition of the land. With respect to environmental impacts, the project should be designed in a way that minimizes the impact on flora and fauna of the village. More number of trees plantation shall be undertaken in the project site to compensate the loss of trees. Similarly, there should be a plan to re-establish affected bore wells and tube wells in order to maintain and preserve water needs of the project area. To mitigate social impacts, PAFs demanding land in lieu of land should be compensated. Agricultural University, mosque and three temples that will be displaced should be re-established at an appropriate location where the community agrees for the same. There should be a provision of construction of underpass for easy passage of pedestrian and animals.

Public hearing SR Asia conducted a public hearing three weeks after the notification was issued by the Administration of Banda District. The hearing was attended by public of all 26 villages. Most of them shared their concerns regarding compensation. Some of them clarifies their doubts regarding marking too land to be acquired. District administration and officials from UPEIDA resolved the queries of all the PAPs and shared that fair compensation according to actual land acquired will be provided to them. They also mentioned that there will be a remarking of land.

Assessment of Social Costs and Benefits A detailed assessment suggests that the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway will have more positive than negative impacts for the PAFs, local population and future generations. The social costs incurred by PAFs in terms of loss of ancestral land/property, loss of livelihood, discomfort in rehabilitation, loss of educational institute and loss of cultural heritage can be compensated mostly by taking proactive measures. The project will benefit the entire population of Banda District.

SIA Report of Bundelkhand Expressway Project in District Banda, UP, India

The discussions and interactions with stakeholders including the project affected families, public representative, officials of government departments and local people indicate that the project will prove to be a milestone for the development of Bundelkhand region.

The SIA team is unanimous to state that PAFs are ready for acquisition of their land and should be acquired by providing compensation as per the provisions of RFCTLARR Act 2013 and suggested value in this report. The government is suggested to balance environmental and social considerations, and benefits through implementation of the proposed mitigation measures. It is recommended that preventive measures be given first consideration in order to reduce the cost of mitigation measures and at the same time minimize the negative impact of the project.

 Provide access to proposed defence corridor (10,000 acres), proposed along this expressway  Generate employment for youth and minimize migration  Facilitate easy implementation of various Government Schemes in Bundelkhand region The project team is of the opinion that the project is serving public purpose as per section 2 of RFCTLARR 2013.

1.3 Project Location In Banda, the project will impact 26 villages of Banda, Baberu, Aatra Tehsils. Banda is well- connected with major cities of India with the help of railways, roadways and airways. Closest airport to Banda railway station is Khajuraho Airport, which is situated at a distance of about 85 km.

1.4 Project Alternative This project option has been arrived at after considering several options by the state government and Govt. of India. This option is found to be the most suitable option from an extreme environmental and social perspective. The land that will be acquired is the bare minimum requirement for the completion of this project. This decision will indeed involve certain losses such as land, source of livelihood, loss of crops and fodder, loss of grazing land for livestock, university, temple, mosque, trees, hand pumps and bore wells for many PAFs. However, comparing the positives and negatives, this project option is found to be the most preferred option from the socio-economic and environmental perspectives.

34 | P a g e S R A S I A

SIA Report of Bundelkhand Expressway Project in District Banda, UP, India

3.6 Bare minimum land assessment More than 96% of the project area has already been acquired for the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway. As landowners are willing to sell their land and are ready to cooperate for compensation/relocation within the project area, same may be considered. The assessment of requirement of land has been done considering the wider layout of the expressway. Hence, the land to be acquired in Banda is the bare minimum that is required for completion of this project.

3.7 Extent of impact The land spread over 185 survey numbers and is owned by 147 families. The land is used for agricultural purpose, which is the main source of livelihood of the PAFs. Acquisition of land will immensely affect their livelihood and would also lead to loss of livestock. At the same time, acquisition of land where educational institution is located will impact access to education for students. Sentiments of people are attached with temple and mosque, which will also be affected due to land acquisition. The present acquisition will substantially impact the land, property, livestock, livelihood, education, and religious sentiments of people.

3.8 Number of families and persons affected Acquisition of land and property at the project location will affect 147 families and their dependents, totalling to a population of approx. 375 people.

3.9 Changes in ownership, transfer and use of lands over the last 3 years Almost all the PAFs have owned the land through heredity and have been engaged in agricultural practices for a very long time. No significant changes in the land use pattern and ownership were found during the site visit by SIA team and interaction with PAFs.

4. ESTIMATION AND ENUMERATION OF AFFECTED FAMILIES’ ASSETS

This chapter describes in detail about directly affected landowners and the impact that the construction of this expressway will have on their family, property, resources, assets, community resources etc.

4.1 Number of property and families affected The land of 30.6714 hectares, spread over 185 survey numbers and owned by 147 families, will be impacted by the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway. Very few people have built property/structures at the project site since the land is primarily used for agricultural purpose by PAFs. However, structures and assets of university, mosque and a temple in Mawai Buzurg, Ghoori, Mahokar, Tilheta and Gadaon will be affected due to construction of this expressway.

4.2 Ownership of land The land to be acquired is privately owned by 147 families. Most of the PAFs have owned the land through heredity while only a few have purchased the land. The information about the ownership of land was collected by Department of Revenue and verified with PAFs by the project team. Out of the 147 PAFs affected by the project, most of them gained ownership through the heredity. In case of the remaining families, the land was acquired through direct purchase from others in the past years indicating an ownership period between 3-6 years.

5.2 Socio-Economic Profile of PAF For the current project, 147 families will be affected. The land to be acquired for the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway project is privately owned by the families. Majority of families belong to Hindu religion while a few are Muslims. Most of the PAPs fall in the age group of 20-50 years and the families belong to Other Backward Classes.

Household Particulars of family Details of the socio- economic conditions of the PAFs are mentioned in this section. All the data reported in the graph is in percentage terms. a) Religion There were households adhering to the Hindu and Muslim faiths amongst the surveyed households. It concurs with the district figures where 76% of the population belongs to Hindu religious belief. The number of Islam households comes at the second position. Among the households surveyed most of the households belonged to Hindu religion while the remaining to Muslim religion. b) Social Group The predominant social group amongst the affected group is Other Backward Class/Caste (OBC). Most of the families belonged to this social group. There are very few families that belong to general social community. c) Family Size The average size of the households under the SIA study is 4.8 persons per household. More than 50% of the PAFs have 5-7 members while some (32.8%) of them also have above 7 members. About a quarter of the families have 2-4 members. There are 4 households where the number of family members is more than 8 persons. The number of persons in the household and the factor of the size of the households gain importance given the comparatively small income of the houses that impinge on the living conditions of the family members. More than half of the PAFs live in joint families while some also live in nuclear families.

SIA Report of Bundelkhand Expressway Project in District Banda, UP, India

d) Type of house structure Of the households covered under the SIA study cent percent were living in houses of their own. It needs to be observed here that the residences of the affected people were away from the project area though they possessed agricultural land at the project site. The nature and type of place of stay highlights those families with a distribution from the affected group, owned either pucca or semi-pucca houses. Pucca here means houses which are strong and permanent; terraced and tiled houses that are properly maintained. Kaccha houses meant those which are not strongly built, and which can be easily destroyed. e) Gender Gender-wise, most of the respondents in the study were men. Women constituted almost one third of the affected people. It enabled due representation to the views of the women group. Majority of them irrespective of the gender variation were heads of the households facilitating a detailed elicitation of the information pertaining to subject. f) Monthly salary of PAF More than 40% of the PAFs shared that their monthly income is between Rs 5000-10000. An almost equal percentage of PAFs shared that their monthly income is more than Rs 10000. Only few (3-4%) of the PAFs have monthly income of less than INR 3000. Many of the PAFs were resistant of sharing information regarding their monthly salary during the visit. g) Age of PAP The average age of the respondents who participated in the SIA study was 45 years. In consonance with the average age, more than half of the PAPs of all villages are in the age bracket of 20-50 years.

6. SOCIAL IMPACT This chapter summarizes and presents the major social impacts both negative and positive and the mitigation measures to be adhered to at various stages of the project with a vision to mitigate the negative social impact and enhance the positive ones. Following are the positive and negative impacts of the project:

6.1 Positive Impact Responses highlight that with the construction and operation of the Bundelkhand Expressway the people and the area will have positive impacts considering future requirements in mind. A few of the major ones cited are:

(i) Increase in land price With the construction, the value of the land holdings in the entire district of Banda is likely to go higher.

(ii) Improved Infrastructure The construction of Bundelkhand Expressway will lead to the overall development of area in terms of improved infrastructure for travelling.

(iii) Allied economic activities Responses of various stakeholders suggest that there will be an enhancement in the economic activities of the area as more hospitality centres including restaurants, lodges and other small- scale business enterprises are likely to emerge and become active as time goes by.

(iv) Brand value to village, state and district All categories (directly/indirectly affected and key informants) of respondents perceived that with the construction under the project, the village, district and state will be earmarked and known at the National and International level. This could bring in more people to the area and become instrumental in the promotion of tourism in the area.

6.2 Negative Impact The negative impacts of the project were discussed by the PAFs. Based on their input and project team’s assessment, the acquisition of land is likely to bring the following negative impacts for the people of the area:

(i) Impact on Land The identified land for construction of Bundelkhand Expressway is privately owned by the PAFs through heredity. The acquisition will lead them to leave their ancestral property. Land acquisition for the project will also lead to loss of grazing land for livestock which might deprive them from their alternate source of income.

60 | Page SR Asia

SIA Report of Bundelkhand Expressway Project in District Banda, UP, India

(ii) Impact on livelihood (Loss of source of income) The land to be acquired is used for agricultural purpose. Acquisition of this land will affect the source of income for many PAFs. It will permanently take away a source of their income.

(iii) Impact on Physical resources (Loss of assets) The acquisition will impact individual assets of the PAFs such as bore wells, hand pumps, trees, etc. (iv) Impact on common public resources Three temples i.e Bhagwan Shankar Mandir, Shankar ji Virajman Mandir and Thakur ji Maharaj Virajman Mandir of villages i.e. Tilheta, Ghoori and Gadaanv will be fully affected and one mosque of Doha Village will also be affected. This will impact the religious sentiments of the people since there are many believers of this temple. Similarly impact on mosque will also affect the sentiments of people.

(v) Impact on education University of agriculture and technology, will also be impacted by this project. This University is the first Agriculture University of Bundelkhand. Students come here from different areas. With the construction of this project, accessibility and availability of education for students will be impacted.

(vi) Impact on environment Due to increase in the flow of traffic on the road, the level of pollution in air and noise is likely to increase. This will impact the health of the people.

(vii) Safety issues and increase in distance for going from one side of village to other Due to the construction of the expressway villagers may have to travel extra miles to cross the road. This will impact the accessibility of the villagers to reach their fields. At the same time, crossing the expressway to reach to the other side of the village (since it goes from within the village) might pose safety issues.

7. COST AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS

After careful analysis of positive and negative impacts of the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway, the SIA team compared the cost with its benefits. In the following section, a detailed analysis of benefits and respective costs are presented.

The specific cost of the Bundelkhand Expressway project in Banda district was not accessible to the project team. Hence the SIA team was constrained to carry out detailed cost-benefit analysis.

7.1 Assessment of Public Purpose The construction of Bundelkhand Expressway will help in creating employment opportunities for the youth in the coming years and will also lead to better infrastructure & road connectivity. However, the project will prove fruitful for the PAFs and people of nearby villages.

It can further be established that a public purpose will be certainly served by acquiring the private land and thereby, completing the construction of the project. If the project is completed, it will improve connectivity and provide smooth, fast and safe commuting and transportation services to the commuters. If the project is delayed, it will lead to rise in overall cost of the project, affecting both Government of UP and as well its residents. If the project is stopped, it will lead to not only loss in funds but also waste of the entire manpower and resources spent on the project till now. Hence, the social costs and benefits of the proposed land acquisition have been assessed assuming that there will be no change in the location of the project or the quantum of land that will be acquired.

7.2 Impacts on structures and its magnitude Majority of PAFs will lose agricultural land from which they derive their livelihood. A mosque and three temples are also present on the land to be acquired. An educational institution will also be impacted. The land/ property owned by PAFs will be substantially affected.

7.3 Determinants of Compensation As per section 26 and 27 of RFCTLARR-2013, the collector shall adopt following criteria to assess and determine the market value of land and amount of compensation. Market value specified in the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, for the registration of sale deeds or agreement to sell where land is situated, the average sale price of similar type of land situated in the nearest village or nearest vicinity.

During the interaction with the PAFs and PAPs, majority of them are demanding an average compensation of Rs 24-28 lakhs per hectare. As per them such rates have already been paid by other builders/buyers in the same area. The compensation should be made keeping in mind the provisions of the RFCTLARR-2013

63 | Page SR Asia

SIA Report of Bundelkhand Expressway Project in District Banda, UP, India

7.4 Entitlement Matrix The PAFs will be entitled to the following six types of compensation and assistance packages:

 Compensation for the loss of land, crops/ trees at their replacement cost.  Compensation for structures (residential/ commercial) if any and other immovable assets at their replacement cost.  Assistance in lieu of the loss of business/wage income and income restoration assistance.  Alternate housing or cash in lieu of house to physically displaces households not having any house site.  Assistance for shifting and provision for the relocation site (if required), and  Rebuilding and/ or restoration of community resources/facilities

As per section 26 and 27 of RFCTLARR-2016, the collector shall adopt following criteria to assess and determine the market value of land and amount of compensation. Market value specified in the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, for the registration of sale deeds or agreement to sell where land is situated.

 The average sale price of similar type of land situated in the nearest village or nearest vicinity,  Consented amount of compensation as agreed upon under sub-section (2) of section 2 in case of acquisition of lands for private companies  R& R package as per RFCTLARR-2013

TABLE 13BASIC PRINCIPLES GOVERNING COMPENSATION STRUCTURE

7.5 Criteria for compensation based on Quality of Soil / Land As the land trade/ transactions have been happening among every community in the area, PAPs have their own view about the amount they must get as compensation. As per PAPs the market rate of the land should be compensated minimum four times the market rate of the land plus property value of houses if the same is being acquired. However, when Land and Revenue Department, Govt. of UP was approached, they shared that the rate of lands are fixed as per the classification of the land /soil.

7.6 Conditions and Recommendations for the Acquisition of Land

Comparing the impact of the social costs of the project vis-a-vis the benefits that will accrue to the community once the project is completed; the SIA Team submits the following -

 The project fulfils the criteria set by sub-section (4) of section 4 of RFCTLARR Act, 2013, which requires that the project serves the public purpose and the bare minimum amount of land is being acquired for it.  The costs that will be incurred by the potential PAPs and environment can be mitigated and are not completely irreplaceable.  Therefore, land can be acquired as requested by the requiring body so that the project can be completed.

However, the acquisition of land should be subject to the conditions and recommendations laid down below and given in the Social Impact Management Plan and other relevant chapters of this report, which in turn, are based on the above cost-benefit analysis.

65 | Page SR Asia

SIA Report of Bundelkhand Expressway Project in District Banda, UP, India

7.7 Compensation amount awarded to the Landowners based on government approved rate of Land In the public consultations, landowners have shown their apprehension towards the amount and process of compensation of their land and structures for the project. The compensation amount should be proper and as per the law. Besides, it should be beneficial for the land and structure owners who will lose their land and structures. The District Collectors should obtain this price information from the UPEDA and should actively consider it while determining the existing value of land as per Section 26(1) of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013.

 Valuation and Compensation for Immovable Assets Immovable assets belonging to the Landowners, such as trees, wells, tube wells, cattle shed, boundary wall and other immovable assets will be affected, if the land is acquired. It is recommended that valuation and compensation of these immovable should be based on section 28 and 29 of RFCTLARR Act, 2013.

 Restoration of Livelihood of Affected Persons / Households The PAFs are likely to lose a part or whole of their farm incomes and farm-based livelihoods or their existing livelihood. It is recommended that adequate financial and material support should be provided by the requiring body to restore their livelihoods, if the land is acquired. The restoration of livelihoods should be based on existing livelihood assets, skills and education and current occupation and income of each potential PAF. The support should be provided at least to the level that incomes are restored to the pre-project levels and their overall well-being is improved after the acquisition.

7.8 Cost estimation of Land Based on discussion with the public, the following cost of the estimation for the compensation is given below. There is variation of cost of the land. They mentioned that the market of 1 hectare of agricultural land ranges from Rs. 8-24 lakhs.

The final compensation should be decided in consent with the PAFs and as per the RFTLARR 2013.

8. SOCIAL IMPACT MANAGEMENT PLAN

This Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) has been prepared to mitigate negative social impacts of this project according to RFCTLARR. The SIMP consists of a set of mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during the design, construction and operational phases of the project to eliminate adverse social impacts or to reduce them to acceptable levels. The main aim of the SIMP is to ensure that the various adverse impacts are mitigated and the positive impacts are enhanced. The SIMP shall be implemented during the various stages of the project viz. pre-construction stage, construction stage and operational stage. In compliance with section 4 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation Act of 2013, the present social impact assessment was carried out with the prime objective to identify the potential socio-economic positive and negative impacts of land acquisition and to develop attainable mitigation measures to enhance positive impacts and reduce or avoid negative impacts and thereby ensure a participative, informed and transparent process of land acquisition for the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway.

8.1 Approach to mitigation The SIA team made use of a combination of research approaches i.e., quantitative and qualitative, for the identification of various social impact and the mitigation measures. Adoption of a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methodology was intended to obtain a more comprehensive data and more holistic result without excluding any important area of assessment. The mitigation measures proposed were arrived at through a series of interactions and discussions with different categories of stakeholders, viz., the project affected population, panchayat member, government officials of Department of Revenue and Land Reforms. The collected information on social impact was studied and discussed internally and externally with experts in order to frame the mitigation plan. The process of such interactions culminated at framing various measures to mitigate and avoid or reduce the impact.

8.2 Summary of key impacts and their mitigation Based on the desk review, field investigations and consultations undertaken during the social impact assessment study for the construction of the Bundelkhand Expressway, the following Social Impact Mitigation Plan (SIMP) has been developed to mitigate negative social impact that may arise from the same at Banda district. Environment degradation, social impact and economic loss were found to be the negative impacts of the project. In this regards, the following mitigation measures can be adopted:

Comparing/weighing the positive against the negative impacts, it can be easily concluded that the former outweighs the latter reaffirming the identified site as the most suitable and apt one for the construction of Bundelkhand Expressway. It is observed that although the

71 | Page SR Asia

SIA Report of Bundelkhand Expressway Project in District Banda, UP, India landholders for sure lose the land, their quality of life is less likely to get affected as they are mainly depended on agriculture as the major means of livelihood. The loss of asset which is ancestral for most will have its negative impact physically and psychologically. Yet, analysing the impacts it is inferred that there is absolutely no displacement of households on one side and on the other the negative impact on land, livelihood, physical resources, public facilities or culture are comparatively lesser or minimum. It is also observed by the SIA team that many of the negative impacts highlighted above can be minimized or reduced further with appropriate and effective mitigation measures/strategies mentioned above.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS

After the analysis of the data collected through tools developed, meetings with stakeholders and public hearing the project team has prepared some recommendations.

 Some of the PAFs shared that they are ready to sell their land in lieu of appropriate monetary compensation. The department should make provisions in this regard as per the provisions of RFCTLARR Act 2013.  The compensation amount should be four times the market rate since the land belongs to rural area, as per the provisions of RFCTLARR Act 2013.  Land/ alternative for fodder production/grazing of livestock of the PAFs may be planned in the nearby areas.  Most of the land owners has raised an issue of proper mapping of their land which is going to be acquired and as a suspicion size may vary therefore the team recommended that an official from the revenue department must be appointed to verify the land acquired and accordingly the compensation can be calculated.  Incase PAPs and PAFs want to grab an employment opportunity during the construction phase of the project, preference can be given to them.  If a toll plaza falls somewhere near to any village, under those circumstances the nearby villagers should get free access across the road for their daily communication.  Underpasses needs to be identified by the agency concerned for the free movement of the villagers whenever the expressway is creating a barricade for their entry to the either side of the road in their day to day life and work.  The farmers should either be compensated for the total production of kharif crops or the expressway should be constructed after the final harvesting of the crops is completed.  The construction of the expressway will block the free flow of storm water which can further result into flooding. Therefore, the drainage system of the underpass can be designed accordingly.  Vegetation can be planned to the size that it can mitigate the risk of the environmental degradation and also improve the vegetation characteristics of the area for more water availability.  Social Impact Management plan (SIMP) has been developed and should be adhered
