2.3 Details of Site Visits and Stakeholder Consultation During this reporting period July – Dec, 2019 no site visit was conducted to review the sub- projects sites for all the sub-projects under Lot-1 and Lot 2 and Lot 3 of Package 1 & Package 2. 2.3.6 Actions Taken: Though the contractors are aware of the stipulations on compliance with the Environmental Management Plan as outlined in the contract agreement; they need to be advised at intervals to strictly follow the guidelines. The PMU is constantly guiding the contractors on various directives such as proper storage of construction material, disposal of waste and clearing of excessive vegetation. In addition, contractors are being urged to submit the compliance reports on EMP implementation for substations under construction on time. The observations made during visit were reported to PMU and PIU to take up further actions for improvement of environmental and social safeguards. 2.4 Public Consultation: Public consultation was not undertaken during this reporting period. 2.5 Review Meetings: With the commencement of civil work under sub-projects; internal monitoring is undertaken by the consultants with assistance from the PIU to monitor the overall progress of work as well as to check compliance of social safeguards. During this reporting period no formal review meeting was conducted with contractor during this reporting period.

Annexure 3

GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM APDCL does not have any specific Environment or Social Safeguards Policy regarding generation/distribution subprojects currently. SPS 2009 requires APDCL to establish a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) having suitable grievance redress procedure to receive and facilitate resolution of affected peoples‟ concerns, complaints, and grievances about the subproject‟s environmental performance. The grievance mechanism will be scaled to the risks and adverse impacts on environment due the subproject type, size, type of area (sensitive area) and impacts. It should address affected people's concerns and complaints promptly, using a transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to all segments of the affected people at no costs and without retribution. This GRM will consist of a Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) headed by the Project Head. The committee will consist of the following:

i. Project Head, APDCL ii. Sub District Magistrate/District Revenue Officer or their nominee iii. Representative of local Panchayat/Council iv. Representative Women representative of village/council v. Representative of EPC contractor vi. AGM of Environment and Social Management Unit (ESMU) at PMU or nominee GRM will provide an effective approach for resolution of complaints and issues of the affected person/community. Project Management Unit (PMU) shall formulate procedures for implementing the GRM, while the PIU shall undertake GRM‟s initiatives that include procedures of taking/recording complaints, handling of on-the-spot resolution of minor problems, taking care of complainants and provisions of responses to distressed stakeholders etc. paying particular attention to the impacts on vulnerable groups. Grievances of affected persons (APs) will first be brought to the attention of the Project head of the PIU. Grievances not redressed by the PIU will be brought to the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) set up to monitor subproject Implementation for each subproject affected area. The GRC will determine the merit of each grievance and resolve grievances within two weeks of receiving the complaint. The proposed mechanism does not impede access to the country‟s judicial or administrative remedies. The AP has the right to refer the grievances to appropriate courts of law if not satisfied with the redress at any stage of the process. The PIU will keep records of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date that the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were affected, and outcome. The GRC is formed in all the concerned Zones for Tranche-4 subprojects. The GRC formation letters are attached below:

Findings: The sub-projects of civil works under R&M components have been dropped in final DPR due to: High project cost, difficulty in generating BOQ rates for different types of small items, and decision to carry out these activities under separate state funding. These activities listed in IEE are indicated in the draft DPR, during which the IEE was prepared. The Final DPR has excluded the items and hence, above listed civil activities have been dropped from ADB‟s financing.
