Chapter I INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Planning is now a part of Punjab’s local government system with the planning responsibilities of TMAs, clearly set out in PLGO. Under the devolved system, the newly created office of TO(P) has the following functions to perform; (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 inadequately skilled staff and lack of up- to-date maps, necessary equipment and management/ regulation/ and enforcement mechanisms. As a result, development works are taking place in a piecemeal manner and lack integrated and coordinated approach.

Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC) was established by the Government of the Punjab as a specialized organization to help improve the municipal service delivery in Punjab. For this purpose Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) was launched in July 2006 with the funding of World Bank. PMSIP envisages an integrated approach to development for which planning is an integral part.

1.2 PMSIP Planning

The PMSIP thus aims at institutional development of TMAs through improving systems directly related to their functions and through investments in service delivery. This objective will be achieved by granting eligible TMAs both capacity grants and development grants. The World Bank and the Government of Punjab are funding the Project.

Apart from providing funds for improvement and development of municipal infrastructure, the key initiative of PMSIP is to assist TMAs in developing their institutional capacity by providing management support tools like GIS, computerization of TMA functions, testing laboratory equipment, trainings, establishment of performance management systems etc.

The most catching feature of the planning exercise is the involvement of the stakeholders. The objective behind their involvement was to endorse of the prioritized list by the ones for whom it was prepared.

The Planning exercise is a comprehensive account for the TMA to identify sectors for efficient allocation of resources on one hand and enhancing their

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 1 Atoock Urban Development Report

capacity to run the projects, on the other hand. This process is hence the amalgamation of technical inputs and the aspiration of the stakeholders.

1.3 Limitations of PMSIP Planning

The PMSIP development grants fund municipal services only. PMSIP planning exercise is undertaken at CO Units starting from CO Unit HQ. The prioritized list that is developed is restricted to the UCs falling in CO Units. Hence the PMSIP planning is not for the entire TMA as it does not take into account the rural area of a TMA. PMSIP planning ends at the preparation of prioritized list.

1.4 The Planning Process

The PMSIP Action planning process is a short term process for the rapid assessment/identification of infrastructure projects.

The Planning Report for Attock has been prepared by active participation of all stakeholders including elected representatives, UC Nazim, Naib Nazim, councilors, and TMA officials through meetings, discussions, formal & informal interviews and workshop.

To involve the stakeholders in the planning process, PMDFC made entry point through meetings with Tehsil Nazim and formulation of Working Groups. Frequent Meetings were also held with the TMA officials including Tehsil Municipal Officer (TMO) and the Tehsil Officers (TOs), particularly TO (P&C) and TO (I&S). PMDFC planning team worked very closely with second line officials of the TO(I&S) office to collect the service delivery data through pre designed forms.

For socially acceptable and sustainable planning, it was important to understand the priorities, living styles, attitude, norms, gender sensitivity, and perceptions of people about their community and physical development. PMDFC therefore, where possible, ensured informal consultations and information sharing with the common man.

Apart from consultations with the stakeholders, data relating to urban planning and infrastructure (both secondary and primary) was also collected for analysis and preparation of technical list of sub-projects. The available information through secondary sources was collected through various documents and publications of the Government, TMA records, and other development partners. . In addition, GIS map of Attock was procured by PMDFC and data layers were developed. This proved to be a powerful tool for spatial analysis, identification of deficiencies in different sectors, and identification of projects. The projects identified on technical grounds were then presented in a Stakeholders Consultative Workshop for validation and prioritization. The capacity building projects were finalized on basis of consultations with Tehsil

Nazim, TMO and other officials. The planning process is summarized in the following flow chart.

1.5 Methodology

A bottom up planning approach has been adopted to derive a list of projects for the TMA. In this process the political leadership and the community has a significant role, for which the development is meant for.

The prioritized list of projects would facilitate the TMA to make investment decisions. This list was developed through a comprehensive exercise of data collection and analysis, the results of which were then presented before the stakeholders in the form of a list of infrastructure sub-projects to prioritize.

Sources of Data

In general, there were two sources for data collection:  Primary source  Secondary sources

Primary source The methodology for the collection of data was to verify the available information with the TMA and PMDFC in the field surveys. However, much of the information was added by actually taking the observations in the field. For example for solid waste management data for secondary collection points was collected.

Secondary sources The secondary sources for data collection were TMA record, District Census Report, information from PHED, Housing and Physical Planning department, PMDFC Field Appraisal Report (FAR), Feasibilities produced by PMDFC etc.

Primary data collected by the PMDFC under its flagship Institutional Development intervention, Performance Management System (PMS) was a good starting point. Under PMS road rating surveys were conducted, the results of which were used and further verified and updated. Similarly park and sanitation connections surveys were useful source of information as well as the information in respect of water supply, solid waste collection and street light collected and consolidated by TMA on the forms developed and provided by the PMDFC.

Visioning

The whole planning process stems from Nazim’s vision for identification of development projects. Therefore, a preliminary meeting was held by PMDFC with the Tehsil Nazim in order to shape his vision statement which was then communicated to all of the stakeholders in the planning process. (What was that vision statement?) PMDFC discussed the prospects of the planning process with the Nazim and translated his vision in concrete and tangible targets.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 4 Atoock Urban Development Report

Therefore, the Nazim was involved right from the beginning of the planning process until the prioritized list was developed.

At the end of the planning process, another meeting was conducted with the Nazim in which whole planning process was reviewed in the light of actual field experiences, ground realities and all those issues that were not visualized at the start of the planning process.

Interviews with the Focused Groups/Stakeholders

To assess the overall situation of TMA Attock, PMDFC held interviews with stakeholders, i.e. UC Naib Nazims, member of Tehsil council and NGOs.

Formation of the Working Group

A working group comprising of second line officials from the planning and I&S offices worked very closely with the planning professionals from PMDFC in the preparation of the plan.

Prioritization Workshop

The list that was developed based on technical recommendation by PMDFC was then presented before the stake holders including Nazim, UC Nazim, Naib Nazim, councilors, etc, as they were the best to determine their priorities. This exercise was done in a workshop, arranged by PMDFC, where the service delivery needs in the existing system, together with costs, advantages, disadvantages of the development projects were presented and discussed with the stake holders.

PROFILE OF ATTOCK

2.1 General

Attock was raised to the administrative status of a district in 1904. At that time it comprised four Tehsils namely Attock, Pindigheb, FatehJang and Talagang. In the 1980s Talagang was attached to Chakwal District. Presently it consists of Tehsils; Attock, Hazro, Pindi Gheb, FatehJang, Hassan Abdal and Jand.

2.2 Location

Tehsil Attock is located on the north of Kala Chitta mountain range which separates it from the rest of the district. At the northern foot of Kala Chitta hills, Haro river runs up to River Indus. TMA Attock differs from all other parts of the district because of its geographic attributes. Its three well defined and quite distinct geographical tracts are: Chhachh, Sarwala and Nala. In the north of Attock Tehsil lies Hassanabdal Tehsil.

2.3 Area/Demography

Attock Tehsil spreads over an area of 1,350 square kilometres with a population of 500,770 (as per DCR 1998). The TMA comprises 11 Union Councils, 3 urban Union Councils and 8 rural Union Councils, with only one CO unit namely Attock.

INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF TMA ATTOCK

3.1 Capacity Building at TMA Attock

Situational Analysis

TMA Attock was no different than other TMAs of Punjab in terms of lacking institutional and individual capacity required to meet post devolution challenges. Initial field appraisal carried out by PMDFC revealed that:

1. TMA staff was never offered much needed computer training and necessary hardware essential for creating an automated office environment. 2. Information flow within the TMA and with its stakeholders was quite rudimentary and means of communication adopted were notice board and word of mouth. 3. The complaint center, a mandatory requirement of PLGO 2001, was duly established in the TMA office. It was located next to the main entrance of the TMA building. 4 different complaint registers were maintained for municipal services namely water supply, sewerage, solid waste and street light. Although the TMA was maintaining these complaint registers but complaints’ resolution lacked coordination amongst TMA staff.

PMSIP Interventions

As PMDFC is geared towards improving the skills of TMA staff and considers improvement in service delivery inconceivable without a strong human resource base, it introduced human resource development initiatives unprecedented at TMA level under the umbrella of PMSIP. Since, PMSIP aims to improve performance and service delivery of TMAs - office automation is identified as the first step towards achieving these goals.

3.2 PMSIP Computer Trainings

As IT skills are integral to efficient and effective office management in present times, PMDFC imparted I.T. training to the TMA Attock staff. It was complemented with the provision of office equipment so that they were able to use it efficiently. Moreover, the said IT trainings are an important step towards the computerization of office records and are resulting in efficient office management. It is hoped that analysis of data would become easy and errors in record keeping would be decreased considerably. Furthermore, I.T. skills are also a pre-requisite for PMSIP interventions such as: Financial Management System, Complaint Tracking System, Performance Management System etc.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 8 Atoock Urban Development Report

PMDFC arranged for the basic computer training of 12 staff members, nominated by the TMA, at the Compac Computer College, Attock. The trainees attended a 2 month short course. An interim assessment of trainees was done by PMDFC and their performance and level of skills gained was found to be unsatisfactory.

3.3 Hands-on training for Complaint Resolution

Section 188 of PLGO 2001 lays down for the establishment of a complaint cell at the Tehsil level. It states:

“Every District Government, Tehsil Municipal Administration, Town Municipal Administration and Union Administration shall set up a complaint cell for redressal of grievances within the ambit of their responsibilities under this Ordinance.”

The Tehsil Nazim and the TMO were involved in setting up a complaint cell at the TMA office. The complaint cell was established under the supervision of the CO- Mr. Aftab Iqbal and Mr. M. Saqib, was nominated by the TMO to record complaints at the complaint cell. A standard design of complaint register was developed by PMDFC and the register was handed over to the TMA. A 1 day hands-on training was given to the officials in accordance with the standard operating procedures developed by PMDFC for complaint resolution.

PMDFC hopes that its ground breaking interventions will go a long way in the human resource development of TMA Attock and its staff once equipped with right skills set can be expected to provide timely, cost effective and reliable services to the citizens of Attock.

Website Updation Training

Development of TMA website is an important capacity building intervention under PMSIP. An active and well designed website can apprise citizens and organizations working with TMA of the working and responsibilities of the TMA. Moreover, information flow can become smooth for all stakeholders. Therefore, PMDFC designed and developed a website for TMA AP Sial. Website can be accessed at: www.tmaattock.com

Regular updation of the website was deemed the TMA responsibility. Mr. Nasir Mehmood, Computer Operator was nominated by the TMA for this training and 2 day training was imparted by Mr. Mubasher Ahmad, IT Assistant PMDFC, at the TMA office. Mr. Alamdar was trained in MS Front page, Adobe Photoshop, website management through control panel and updation by use of FTP. He successfully completed the training and is updating the website on monthly basis.

3.4 Performance Management System

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

PMS in TMA Attock

PMDFC has arranged several workshops, meetings and visits for awareness and consensus building among the TMA staff.

Data Collection & Analysis

Before initiation of PMS, there was lack of data collection and reporting culture particularly in municipal service delivery. After development of performance indicators and selection of core indicators, data collection formats were developed and shared with the TMAs during the two workshops held in July 05 (3 & 10 July). Trainings were also provided to TMA staff where required for data collection. The last two workshops were arranged to train the nominated TMA staff for road rating and parks survey. TMA Attock was then asked to collect and report data on core performance indicators by the end of July 06, which was used as baseline for year 2006-07.

URBAN PLANNING

4.1 TO(P) Office

Table 6: Detail of Posts in planning office (TMA-Attock)

S.No Post Sanctioned Existing Strength Strength 1 TO (P&C) 1 1 2 Sub Engineer 1 1 3 Senior Clerk 1 1 4 Building Inspector 1 1 5 Junior Clerk 1 1 6 Naib Qasid 1 1 7 Tracer 1 - 8 Driver 1 1 9 Fero Khallasi 1 1

As is evident from the above table, most of the important posts are filled though without tracer or a qualified draftsman any mapping activities would be having problems. TO (P) is a qualified town planner, having a Bachelor’s degree in City & Regional Planning and is a Local Government employee. He is a member of provincial scrutiny committee of by-laws constituted by Secretary Local Government. All records are manually maintained and no analysis of data is performed.

Town Planning

Attock being an old planned colonial town, its roads were designed to be at least 60 feet wide and streets at least 20 feet. Presently, Attock comprises of three UC’s. UC – 2 is the oldest one created in 1905 and is planned one with distinct blocks numbered from A to R. There is space allocated at centre of each block for commercial and recreational purposes. The roads are mostly wide in this block. UC-3 is partially planned. UC-1 is the most recently developed and is separated by the other two UCs by a railway line that passes east-west of the town. UC-I has two planned colonies namely Peoples Colony and Dar-ul-Salam.

4.2 Mapping

TMA has a base map that needs updation. They also have other maps having utilities marked. TMA have a Tehsil map that also includes areas that now comprise TMA Hazro. ID component, PMDFC has started capacity building of TMA Attock in this regard with the procurement of GIS image of Attock. To

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 14 Atoock Urban Development Report

date, vectorization of image has been completed and vectorized road and parcel maps being developed. Base maps of road network, water supply, SWM would be developed in next stage. As mentioned below in PMDFC’S intervention of preparation of an action plan for Attock, data collection and analysis would be completed in Attock. The exercise would enable TMA staff to use state of art GIS technology and get first hand experience with techniques of data collection and data analysis.

There is lack of coordination between Planning office and I & S office and there is no data sharing between these two offices. There is a draftsman in I & S office who had undertaken Auto Cad training.

Building Control

For building control activities residents submit requests with a plan and other requisite documents. Building inspector visits the site and checks if the plan is according to the site/ location. Building by-laws have been developed but not notified. There is a requirement that residents after completion of their buildings get a completion certificate from planning office, TMA, but it rarely occurs. There is need of such mechanism that residents have to get the completion certificate. All the records are manually maintained.

TMA had formulated Building and Land Use Control and Dangerous buildings by-laws after completion of all codel formalities and got approval from Tehsil Council vide resolution No. 24, session held on 30-07-2002. Site development Schemes/Housing Schemes by-laws 2002 were notified in 2002 but now Government of Punjab has notified Site Development Schemes rules 2004 that are being followed. Building application fee for residential plans and commercial plans is Rs. 2.00 and Rs. 5.00 per sq feet respectively.

4.3 Land Use Characteristics

To discuss the land use pattern in Attock, first the northern part will be discussed. This is purely residential with irregular street pattern and old houses.

The central part which is the amalgamation of commercial, residential and institutional uses. The main commercial activity is situated along the Madni chowk, TMA chowk, Fawara chowk and Katchehry chowk. The main bazaars

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 15 Atoock Urban Development Report

in this area are Sarafa bazaar and Civil bazaar. The road that leads to Kamra runs north south and is situated to the east of this town. All of the major institutional buildings like TMA office, educational institutions, banks, GPO, District courts exist in this part of the town.

There are three open spaces in the central part i.e. the railway ground, Army stadium and a ground near TMA office.

The southern part is again an unplanned part with irregular street pattern. A graveyard is present near Iqbal chowk.

4.4 City Zones

Functionally the city can be divided into three zones;

i. The northern zone ii. The central zone iii. The southern zone

The northern zone is a residential zone, where old houses are present. This zone being unplanned comprises of irregular streets.

The central zone is an amalgamation of institutional, commercial, residential and recreational zones. This zone has a high density zone. There is congestion due to traffic and encroachment at certain places. All major institutional and public buildings are present in this zone.

The southern zone is a residential zone. This zone is unplanned.

4.5 Housing Typologies

The following information in table ---- and ---- was collected from District Census report, Attock, prepared in 1998.

4.6 Growth Directions

Information relating to future urban expansion and current trends was collected through survey and discussions with the local officials/community groups.

The Attock city is growing in three distinct directions. The one is in the north western direction, the eastern direction and in the north. In the north along the Kamrah road is the three mile chowk. A hosing scheme for low income housing is planned by Housing and Physical Planning Department. Thia is People’s colony.

Some private development is taking place along beyond Choi road. The people are constructing houses on their private land. The third direction is the north- west direction. The cause of growth of the town is the same i.e the private development in this direction.

Chapter V

STATUS OF MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE & RECOMMENDATIONS

For determining the existing status of infrastructure, PMDFC developed pre designed formats. The data was collected by engineers who worked very closely with the second line officials of the TMA staff. This information was utilized to determine the status of service delivery, including required improvements and extensions. Based on the analysis, PMDFC identified the following areas (separately for each service):

1. Areas with no service 2. Areas with partial coverage. 3. Areas such as new residential colonies where services are planned to be provided.

Based on the above analysis, the status of infrastructure services is described below:

5.1 Road Network

Attock is well-connected to other areas through a network of inter-city roads. The town is linked to Islamabad/Pindi, Fateh Jang and Kohat.

The mixture of fast and slow moving traffic causes delays, traffic jams, congestion, pollution and accidents. The overall condition of roads in the city is Exhibit: unsatisfactory. Major commercial activities occur in Main Bazaar, Civil Bazar, Sarafa Bazar, Barq Road, Pleader Lane.

Existing Condition of TMA Roads

The condition of roads in Attock is satisfactory. Most of the roads are in good condition and need minor repairs. Drainage is also satisfactory since topography has slopes that have steep gradients. Most small streets have P.C.C surface. Due to non-existence of metalled / paved shoulders and footpaths, some shopkeepers have encroached on the shoulders of the roads in busy areas. The existing length, road width, right of way, and existing condition of all metalled TMA roads is given as under.

Needs

The Town is expanding due to normal growth and urbanization and traffic intensity on all roads has increased manifold. The under-mentioned two main roads are subjected to heavy traffic load due to increasing commercial and business activities. The areas served and important location / installation on these roads are summarized as under:-

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 19 Atoock Urban Development Report

Proposed Roads Projects

Following are the proposed projects for improvement of roads network and traffic system in Attock.

5.2 Water Supply

This report provides an assessment of the present facilities of water supply system, problems and needs of the town and improvements required.

Sub Soil and Ground Water Conditions

Water table has been receding for last few years. Tube wells are discharging less and less water. Quality of water is satisfactory.

Existing Water Supply

UC -1

UC-1 is situated north of railway track. There are four OHRs and nine tube wells present in this UC. (details Annex B). Most of the tube wells were installed in 1970’s and have gone through periodic maintenance. Presently, most of them require minor repairs and construction of boundary walls. The tube well near graveyard has leaking problem.

A network of distribution system, ranging from 3” to 8” dia of AC/PVC & CI pipes, is existing in the UC. The CI pipe lines being too old are leaking and Exhibit: contaminating the system by ex-filtration and infiltration. Some recently built up areas such as Peoples Colony west, extensions of Dar-ur-Islam Colony, Bihari Colony, Awan Sharif is without distribution system and the inhabitants are demanding the facility. Shortage of water is found in Awan Asraf. Pipe sizes are small and old in areas such as New Town, Bihar Colony, Mehmoodabad, Mehar Pura etc.

Approximately 80% of area is served with the existing distribution system whereas rest of the population is required to be served with this facility. The production capacity of both the sources is much less as compared with the demand and hence water shortage is experienced in under-mentioned parts of the city in winter and the entire town in summer.

UC -2

UC-2 is situated south of railway track and north of Choi Road. This is the planned part of town.There are six OHRs and eleven tube wells present in this UC. (details Annex B). Water level is going down due to Ghazi Barotha canal. Most of the tube wells need minor repairs due to leakages. Some need sluice valves or column pipes as shown in Annex B.

A network of distribution system, ranging from 3” to 8” dia of AC/PVC & CI pipes, is existing in the UC. The CI pipe lines being too old are leaking and contaminating the system by ex-filtration and infiltration.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 21 Atoock Urban Development Report

Choi road lines are old and leaking at some points. In R and K Blocks few streets need lines to be replaces as they are old and leaking.. In D Block Tube Well need repair.

Approximately 100% of area is served with the existing distribution system.

UC -3

UC-3 is situated south of Choi Road. This is the un-planned part of town. There are three OHRs and six tube wells present in this UC. (details Annex B). Most tube wells are recently installed compared to two other UCs, therefore, they are in running condition.

A network of distribution system, ranging from 3” to 6” dia of AC/PVC & CI pipes, is existing in the UC. The CI pipe lines being too old are leaking and contaminating the system by ex-filtration and infiltration.

In Fatehabad new areas need distribution lines. Shahdabad, Summundar Abad, Choi east have lines that need replacements as they are old GI pipes.

Approximately 90% of area is served with the existing distribution system.

Service Level

Unserved Areas

Muhallah Sheikh Pura, Muhallah Hari Pura, Muhallah Riaz Abad, Muhallah Imran Abad, Muhallah Durhatta, Muhallah Ghareeb abad, Muhallah Muhammadi, Muhallah Hafiz Abad, Muhallah Chah Bhatti Wala, Muhallah Panjay wala, Ahmed Raza Colony, Christian Colony and Rasheed Abad.

Water Demand

Population (2006) = 72,017, Per Capita Consumption = 40 g/c/d Population (2016) = 107,839, Per Capita Consumption = 50 g/c/d Per Capita Consumption = 40 g/c/d Water Consumption (2006) = 2,880,680 g Water Consumption (2016) = 5,39 1,960 g Max Daily Demand (2006) = 4,321,020 g Max Daily Demand (2006) = 8,087,939 g Consumption hourly demand (2006) = 12 Cusecs Consumption hourly demand (2016) = 22.46 Cusecs

Present production capacity = 3,188,000 g = 8.85 Cusecs, Storage capacity is 350,000 g.

Water is being supplied for only 1.5 – 2 hours to consumers as per TMA and PMS, PMDFC data. It seems that water discharged is much low than designed capacity. OHR are being filled at a very slow rate and water is

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 22 Atoock Urban Development Report

supplied to consumers for couple of hours. Present water production can’t meet consumer demand and it would require more sources to be developed to meet 22.5 cusec in 10 years time period.

Proposal

A comprehensive study of water supply is needed in Attock to see affect of Ghazi Brotha Dam on Attock water supply. Some areas need extension in network while others need replacements. PHED is planning to replace rusted pipes with amount Rs 20 million. The plan should cover water supply needs and requirements for next 10-20 years.

5.3 Sewerage

Existing Situation

Presently, most of the town is covered with sewerage network. Flow of sewerage is towards south of Attock (UC-3). There is no disposal station as sewage flows by gravity, resulting in, and low operational cost. Sewage is being disposed of without treatment to natural channels and finally to Hazro River.. Two natural channels flow out of town Choi East and Choi West. Combined sewerage is collected in UC-3 to be disposed of. Existing network include flow of storm water. Situation of sewer in three UCs is as follows:

UC - 2 Attock was developed as a planned town in 1946. As a result, first phase of sewerage was laid at that time in area that comprises part of UC- 2. Trunck sewer was of size 12” whereas most area has lateral network of 6” pipes. Sewer lines were added later on in this UC to extend coverage. Sewerage is disposed of with gravity in natural drains towards south of town. Presently, most of the UC is covered by sewerage.

UC – 1 In UC-1 only People Colony (developed by Housing and Physical Planning dept. in 1970s) has sewerage. Network has passed its life and is choked. Disposal of sewerage is by gravity into an open channel.

Therefore, most of UC is unserved. Mohallas such as Dar-ul-Salam,Nai Abadi Dar-ul-Salam,

UC – 3 Sewerage was developed in this area in 1974 by PHED. As the population was increased in UC -3 need for sewerage was realized. No disposal work was planned as steep slopes provided natural flow. Population has rapidly increased in this UC resulting in pressure on the network.

Most of UC is served except mohallas such as : Choi East, Summundar Abad There has been much complaints in this UC regarding disposal of sewerage. During discussion with Member Tehsil Council Nabila Mushtaq and member

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 23 Atoock Urban Development Report

of NGO Al-Ghazali Social & Welfare Society Malik Muhammad Mushtaq stressed that pools of sewage water stagnate in some parts. The situation is worsened during rainy season.

Table 12: Proposal

Proposal Rational Beneficiaries Improvement and Last sewerage scheme was Whole town of Extension of Sewerage designed and laid in Attock in Attock in Attock 1974-85. Population has increased and new areas have been developed. Resulting in pressure on existing sewerage network. UC-3 is especially been affected by sewerage problem. Whereas, UC-1 is mostly without sewerage. An overall study of sewage network is required. Topography of Attock offers minimum operational cost with natural gravity flow. Treatment plat should be included to safeguard natural environment.

5.4 Streetlight System

There is proper streetlight system in Attock Town and lights are fitted on WAPDA poles with brackets. There is no independent system and conductors are hoisted on WAPDA poles.

5.5 Solid Waste Management

Attock is relatively clean town. There is a nice system of skips placed covering most of town for secondary collection. Waste is disposed of, in open dumps along roads that are going out of town at random places.

Waste Generation and Collection Efficiency

The present population of the project area is 72,000, by taking generation rate of 0.4 kg/capita/day, generated solid waste comes out to be 28.8 tons per day. (PMS, PMDFC)

Total daily lifting capacity of TMA vehicles used for the collection of solid waste is 50 % of the generation amount per day.

The existing solid waste management system of Attock comprises of on site storage, collection, transfer and disposal. Brief description of each activity is discussed as follows.

Solid Waste Collection

Existing solid waste collection system comprises of the following primary and secondary collection;

Primary Collection Primary collection is being performed by Exhibit: sanitary workers. The workers carry out sweeping of streets and roads and collect the solid waste from small heaps with the help of wheel barrows, brooms etc. and store at permanent and temporary collection points. Most of the town is covered by primary collection except areas that are have been extended by new habitants. There are two shifts: first starts at 5 am – 11 am, second starts at 2 pm to 5 pm.

Exhibit: Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 25 Atoock Urban Development Report

Partial service is provided to areas such as: Officers Colony, Dar-ur-Islam colony, Peoples Colony, Nai Abadi Peoples Colony, Awan Shareef, Fateh abad, Pind Ghulam Khan, Farooq azam Colony, Madni Colony etc.

Secondary Collection System After primary collection, tractor trolleys pick the waste from the primary collection points and dump it to open spaces along main roads going out of town. Existing collection points in Attock are mentioned in Annex D.

Solid Waste Disposal In Attock the disposal of solid waste is done in the form of open dumps along the Attock – Fateh Jang Road. Present dumping site is 3.5 km from town shown in Pic below. This creates in-sanitary & unhygienic conditions, degrading the environment of the town, emitting obnoxious smells and providing breeding grounds for mosquitoes and flies. Exhibit: Existing Equipments and Establishment Detail of existing staff available with TMA for solid waste management system is shown as:

Table 15: Demand for Service

Year 2006 2011 2016 Generation 28.80 35.25 43.14 (tons)

With existing resources Attock is able to dispose of 50 % of the generated solid waste. In 5-10 years a lot more equipment and human resources would be needed. Human resources would not be available in this field. Therefore, a comprehensive plan should be drafted and implemented including a sanitary landfill site, requisite equipment and HRM planning.

Table 16: Proposal

Proposed Sub-Project Rationale Beneficiaries Improvement of SWM in Management and Whole town of Attock. Attock and procurement operational of land for landfill site improvements, procurement of machinery and landfill site are needed to improve SWM in Attock. Present disposal site is polluting the environment.

5.6 Fire Fighting

Presently, PMDFC and TMA Attock are developing sub-project for Fire Fighting system in Attock city. Details are as follows:

Sub-project Description:

Presently a fire station is in the town, which lacks the primary fire fighting facilities. Only one no. fire engine mounted on a Bed Ford Chasis manufactured in 1982 is available. It is unserviceable since March 2006 and is not in use. No other fire fighting equipment exists. Sub-Project of Fire Fighting System would fulfill the need of the town and also in case of emergency the surrounding area by improvement the existing facilities and provision of new equipment and Fire Vehicles.

Salient Features: The Sub-Project comprises of under mentioned item of work. Heavy Fire Vehicle 2 Nrs. (Capacity 8000 Liters) Fire Trailer Pump 1 Nr. Fire Station 1 Nr. Construction of Water Filling Points 4 Nrs

Improvement Required With Justification

TMA Attock needs to be provided with fire fighting facilities to combat the fire breakout in the entire District of Attock as this is a District headquarter and due to meager resources of Provincial Govt. fire fighting facilities cannot be presently provided in all TMAs of Attock District. Hence fire facilities in TMA Attock shall presently cover the entire District. The improvements required with justifications are given below:

Purchase of Fire Engines & Equipments

Present fire engine is outdated and unserviceable. New fire engines need to be purchased along with allied fire equipment to fight the fire breakouts in future to eliminate chances of heavy loss to private as well as public sector.

Renovation & Construction of Fire Station Buildings

 Fire station building is existing in Attock town but it can accommodate only one fire engine and is also in a bad condition.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 28 Atoock Urban Development Report

 It needs to be extended and renovated to accommodate the new fire engines to be purchased under this sub project.

Construction of Water Fill Points

Presently three nos water fill points are existing in Attock Town. Two more filling points need to be constructed / installed in this town to reduce the traveling distance of fire engines during breakout of fires at different points. It will give increased efficiency of fire fighting and reduce the losses due to fire, along with saving of POL and repairs.

The Sub Project

Description The sub project will provide fire fighting facilities to TMA Attock not only to cope with the needs of the town itself but also to fight the fire emergencies in the surrounding area of entire District, consisting of 6 urban areas and nearly 100 industrial and commercial centers, and Natural Oil installations. The project provides for under mentioned components:

 Provision of three number fire engines.  Provision of required fire equipment.  Renovation / Extension of building of fire station.  Construction of additional water fill stations.

Sub Project Proposed Design

The fire stations are going to cover entire area of the District and specially the commercial and industrial centers, most of which are vulnerable to fire. Hence the machinery, equipment and civil structures will be designed to cope with the requirement of this area.

Fire Engines It is proposed that:-  The existing fire engine is 24 years old and needs heavy repair (Rs. 1.5 million). In spite of spending all this money it is not expected to perform properly as a new fire engine, as it has been used for almost three times its designed life. Hence even after repair it will not be cost effective to use it. As such it is proposed to discard this fire engine and replace it by a new one.  2 new fire engines will be provided to TMA over and above the above mentioned replacement, to cope with the demand of the area.

Fire Fighting Equipment Fire fighting equipment is required to be procured for meeting the requirement of three fire engines. The equipment generally needed has been described in the cost estimate.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 29 Atoock Urban Development Report

Fire Station Buildings The existing fire station building at Attock town will be extended and renovated to meet the demand of three vehicles. Apart from that, store building, office building, staff room and wash rooms need to be constructed at this place.

Water Fill Points

Three numbers water fill points are available presently at under mentioned locations.

 Jinnah Park  Fire Station  Eid Gah

Two more fill points are proposed to be established at under mentioned places:

 Dhoke Patta  Near Govt. High School No. 2

Site Suitability

Attock Fire Station

The existing fire station in Attock Town is located in land owned by TMA Attock. Site for extension of the fire station is available and no site problem will come up. The site is quite approachable.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 30 Atoock Urban Development Report

Site for Water Filling Points

For water filling points, we must have storage of water near to the points because availability of electricity for producing water from a T/well cannot be trusted because scheduled & unscheduled load shedding and break downs are usually experienced in these parts of the country. Hence the best place to construct a water point is just near to existing over head reservoirs, which can remain filled up with water round the clock and water can be easily filled up by gravity in the fire engine tank.

Wherever the over head reservoirs are not available, the water can be filled into the tank by the pumping unit installed with fire engine from any water body available near by. For this purpose a dependable water body should be available in that vicinity for 365 days a year to ensure availability of water. This important factor will be kept in view while selecting the sites of the fill points.

The sites for proposed fill points are owned by TMA and approachable.

Environmental With the execution of this sub project no impacts: significant environmental issue will crop up. It will rather provide security against fire giving public satisfaction and will eliminate the chances of damage to the public as well as private property. Hence it can be safely assumed that this sub project will improve the environment of this area. However some temporary and short-term impacts related to the design, construction and operation & maintenance phases, which may arise due to the execution of this type of sub-projects.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 31 Atoock Urban Development Report

Benefits: - A number of local people will be employed during construction phase. - Heavy losses presently being accrued in private and public sector shall be saved. As estimated saving over 5.0 Million per year is expected. - A sense of security shall prevail in the public and private organizations. - Physical environment of the town will be improved. - The standard of Living of the citizens shall be raised. - Economic activity will be improved at the local level.

5.7 Parks

According to the planning standards adopted by the government of the Punjab there shall be at least 5 -7 % of the area under parks.

In UC-1 there is a park in Peoples Colony near Kamra Road and School for Dumb & Deaf. There are tracks laid own but other basic facilities such as Exhibit: Well Maintained Park near DCO benches, grass, toilets and children Office play area are missing. There is no park in UC-3. Population has increased in this areas and they need a park for out door activities.

District Govt developed a large park near DC Office and handed over to TMA. On average 720 people visit the park on working days and around 1700 on holidays. This is a well maintained park and serving citizens of Attock in a nice way. There are facilities such as jogging track, canteen, toilets, benches etc.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 32 Atoock Urban Development Report

Table 21: Proposal for Parks

Proposal of Rationale Beneficiaries park Park in UC-3 There is no park in this UC. This Population living UC is less developed than other south of Choi Road parts of Attock. It is growing without any planning. A park would greatly enhance living standards of population living south of Choi Road. Improvement of TMA has a park in UC-1 near Population living Park In UC-1 Kamra road. It is centrally located around Kamra and serve population living around Road in UC-1. Kamra road in UC-1. It needs improvement to make it more attractive to park visitors.

5.8 Slaughter House

Under PMSIP, TMA and PMDFC are initiating a sub-project to move the slaughter house to a suitable site. Presently, land for the purpose is being finalized.

Following information for the sub project has been taken from draft feasibility report prepared by NESPAK. Slaughter School House Existing Slaughter House

Location The location of the existing slaughter house is at a congested spot in the city near populated area and situated nearby a school. It is 1.5 km away from the proposed slaughter house.

Exhibit: Approach The unpaved approach road for slaughter house is in very bad condition. It consists of a bumpy and muddy track. It is about 1 km from the main road causing traffic problem for the residents.

Existing Capacity and Requirements

At present most of the slaughtering is done illegally at different locations of Attock city due to non availability of proper facilities at Exhibit: Unpaved Approach Road to the Existing Slaughter House

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 33 Atoock Urban Development Report

the existing slaughter house. The existing capacity of both the facilities is in adequate to meet present as well as future demands.

Existing Situation

The existing land available for slaughter house is 102’ x 90’ (9180 Sq. ft) containing two sheds of 98’ x 17’ (1666 Sq. ft). Only large animals are being slaughtered in one hall whereas the second hall has been abandoned due to inadequate facilities. The lighting facilities are also not sufficient to carry out slaughtering during night or early Exhibit: morning. Only a single phase power connection is available.

Water Supply System

The existing water supply from TMA public water supply system consists of two ¾” dia pipeline(s), having a length of 200 ft with water merely reaching the fiber glass overhead tank. Water pressure in the water supply line is not adequate to lift it to the overhead tank. The capacity of this fiber glass water tank is only 1000 gallons which is insufficient Exhibit: as compared to the actual demand.

Drainage and Disposal System

The present effluent disposal in the slaughter house has not been connected to the city’s sewerage system and is being discharged into open fields without any treatment causing very unhygienic environment in the surrounding area and possible contamination of the ground water. Exhibit: Solid Waste System

There is no system for the disposal of solid waste. Most of time the solid waste heap stays there and become breeding place for mosquitoes and flies.

Existing Man Power of Slaughter House

There is veterinary doctor who receives honorarium of Rs.800/- per month which is an extremely low compensation. Due to this reason, he is not

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 34 Atoock Urban Development Report

available during slaughtering and he has deputed a dispenser to check the health of the animals. There is one supervisor under TMA’s sanitation establishment which has been deputed to look after the slaughter house.

Observations on Existing System Of Slaughter House

Due to inadequate slaughtering facility, only ten (10) big animals are being slaughtered daily, whereas a large number of slaughtering is being done by public at their own. No small animals are brought to the slaughter house. The average slaughtering demand in the city is thirty (30) big and ninety (90) small animals. Hence it is the need of the hour that all slaughtering should be done in a slaughter house and properly managed which is possible only after construction of a new good slaughter house. At present people in the city are compelled to purchase unhygienic meat which is slaughtered illegally. During site visit under aged (4 to 6 months) animal meat was observed to be sold at almost every mutton / beef shop because there is very little check by TMA.

Shopkeepers avoid going to slaughter house due to inadequate facilities and switch to indiscrimination illegal slaughtering. The approach road to slaughter house is very narrow and bumpy and in populated area having a boys school just near to it. Due to inadequate disposal of solid waste and disposal of effluent, mosquitoes and flies start breeding in the Exhibit: vicinity. People of this area specially school children face a potential health hazard. Hence shifting of this slaughter house is justified on priority basis.

Table 22: Proposal

Proposed Sub-Project Rationale Beneficiaries Shifting of existing Present slaughter house Shifting slaughter house slaughter house to new is housed in a small out of town would location rented place, located in benefit the entire town a densely populated as present slaughter area.

Chapter VI

WORKSHOPS ON PRIORITIZATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE SUB-PROJECTS

Projects identified were based on surveys, analysis and ‘technical judgment’. The projects identified needed validation and prioritization by the elected representatives of the people through consultations.

The following methodology was adopted for the prioritization process.

6.1 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 (i.e. roads vs water supply vs sewerage etc.), followed by intra-sector prioritization, e.g. in case of roads sector, individual road projects for the whole town were prioritized.

6.2 Workshop Proceedings

General

The work shop was held on ------, in TMA complex, Attock. It commenced at 12:00 p.m and was concluded at around 2:30 p.m.

Workshop Participants

The number of participants was ------. The stake holders were mainly the representatives of the Tehsil Council and Union naib nazims, from 3 urban UCs of TMA Attock.

List of participants is appended at the end of this report.

The Session

The workshop was formally started with a presentation was given by PMDFC on, the existing situation of the town and proposed list of sub projects. During the presentation, the participants took a keen interest, and asked a number of questions about the working of, and already projects under taken by PMDFC. They further updated the information about the existing situation, e.g. the

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 36 Atoock Urban Development Report

stakeholders had serious reservations about the fire fighting system, as it was considered inefficient.

Group Formation

The participants were divided into 3 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.

In the first round, inter-sector prioritization was done. Each group was given a list of sectors i.e. roads, water supply, sewerage etc. They were first 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.

In the second round, group members were asked to prioritize intra-sector projects. Thus in case of roads, name of individual roads identified were written Intra sector prioritization matrix. The participants suggested some new projects to be included, e.g. street lights, which had not been identified by the PMDFC. The priority-wise projects were then entered in intra-sector priority matrix, and sub-projects finalized on the basis of frequency of responses.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 37 Atoock Urban Development Report

6.3 Prioritized List of Sub-Projects

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

Table 25: Prioritized Projects- Attock

Sub-Sector Prioritization Sector Sector Priority Schemes Priority Improvement/Extension of Sewerage 1 sewerage network Solid Waste Improvement/Extension of solid 2 Management waste management Bijli Ghar (Mari More to village 1 Mari) 2 Bijli Ghar (Pind Ghulam Khan) 3 Roads 3 People’s colony main road 4 Madni colony main road 5 Kamra road to Bihar colony road Improvement/Extension of Water Water supply 4 Supply Network Parks 5 Improvement of Parks Improvement/Extension of Street Street lights 6 lights Slaughter 7 PMSIP – Sub-Project House Fire Fighting 8 PMSIP – Sub-Project

The prioritization process calls for the road map for the allocation of resources for the TMA. It is important to mention here that in Attock, sewerage was one of the major problem in the town.

The second on the priority list were solid waste and roads. The roads were reported broken, with lot of encroachment which led to further traffic congestion and environmental degradation.

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.
