10 Executive Summary
1. The main purpose of the Headworks is to divert irrigation supplies to Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) to its authorized capacity which originally in the year 1900 was fixed at 10730 cusecs. It irrigates lower part of the Doab consisting of District Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Hafizabad, Nankana Sahib, Sheikhupura, Jhang, Toba Tek Sing and Hafizabad. khanki Headworks date back to 1892 while LCC has even older history. Since then the structure has stood the test of time and irrigating 3.7 million acres of the most fertile agricultural tract of Pakistan. But no Barrage has an endless age. According to hydraulic engineers, the normal economic life of hydraulic structures is taken as fifty years. Khanki Headworks is 119 years old and even after rehabilitation of 1935 it has served for 73 years.
2. Punjab Irrigation Department (PID) is interested in construction of New Khanki Barrage at location, 900 feet downstream of the present Headworks with the financial assistance of ADB. The main components of the project are: construction of New Khanki Barrage, LCC Head Regulator and small road bridge, dismantling of old Khanki Head work, construction of public Park, School, Basic Health Unit and Mosque, reconstruction of Irrigation Staff Colony, rehabilitation of schools, boys and girl, construction of new Basic Health Unit (BHU) ,rehabilitation of the old Workshop, alteration in route of High level Channel along the new LCC and Development and improvement of the access road (about 35 km)
3. Main objectives of the New Khanki Barrage Project are the replacing of the Barrage, saving of the canal network of 2925 channels (4680 kms) irrigating above 5 million acres in 6 districts of central Punjab and to save the agriculture and Fisheries in Central Punjab, save the socio-economic structure of agricultural communities consisting of above 3 million people and to provide the bridge facility to people of the area.
4. This LARP has been developed to minimize involuntary resettlement to ensure that the persons to be displaced have their former living standards and income earning capacity improved or at least restored to original position. Baseline data for socio-economic conditions of the project has been collected using various survey tools.
5. Project impact survey reveals that 40 acres of agricultural land will be affected, 35 acres private land and 5 acres Irrigation Department‟s own land. Total houses affected are 19 among these 5 are private homes and 14 are government employees quarters. These employees will be shifted in newly build houses.
6. Total Affected Families (AF) are 65 (414 AP). Of these 46 AFs lose land and land based assets like trees, cattle yards, and crops. 5 AFs lose private houses and 14 families are losing Government owned residences In addition to these impacts, the project will affect the year harvest of crops cultivated on the affected agricultural land and 13 wood trees and 24 fruit trees.
7. An entitlement matrix has been developed to ensure that all the affectees are paid for their loss of land and land based assets and crops on the current market price. A comprehensive package is developed for their life restoration and development assistance.
8. Community participation, consultation and LARP disclosure has been carried out and stakeholder concerns were taken into consideration while preparing this document. Provision for grievance redressal mechanism has been made. 9. Overall cost for implementation of compensation and rehabilitation program detailed in this LARP is Rs. 42.05 (say 42 million).

5 SECTION 1
1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND 10. Rachna Doab is the “bar” (upland) lying between the rivers of Chenab and Ravi. The general gradient of the land southwestwards, the water of Chenab can irrigate the Rachna Doab area. The main sources of this irrigation are two canals; the Upper Chenab Canal (UCC) and Lower Chenab Canal (LCC). While the UCC takes off form Marala Headworks and irrigates mainly upper part of Rachna Doab, the LCC off takes form Khanki Headworks and irrigates lower part of the Doab consisting of District Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Hafizabad, Nankana Sahib, Sheikhupura, Jhang, Toba Tek Sing and Hafizabad.
11. Khanki Headworks date back to 1892 while LCC has even older history. Since then the structure has stood the test of time and irrigating 3.7 million acres of the most fertile agricultural tract of Pakistan, but no barrage has an endless age. According to hydraulic engineers, the normal economic life of hydraulic structures is taken as fifty years. Khanki Headworks is 119 years old and even after rehabilitation of 1935; it has served for 73 years.
12. The structure durability of the Headworks in unreliable and it may yield to any stress beyond its present capacity. Irrigation will be a serious problem in about 3 million acres of very fertile land served by Khanki Headworks. Which is about 14% of entire canal irrigated area of the Punjab; consequently a condition of famine may occur in the country.
13. The main purpose of the Headworks is to divert irrigation supplies to Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) to its authorized capacity which originally in the year 1900 was fixed at 10730 cusecs. The capacity has been revised on account of extension of irrigation areas and was 13560 cusecs till 1966, when it was reduced to 8143 cusecs on commissioning of LCC feeder off-taking from QB Link and also due to reduction in river supplies because of Indus Water Treaty. Thus, as far as its primary function is concerned, the Headworks is delivering the same adequately but it cannot be expected to continue to function as such for long. The aging defects are appearing fast.
14. A bigger, stronger, technologically superior and a modern structure is required at Khanki. Keeping these fears in view, the barrage was evaluated by Consultants appointed by Irrigation Department in 1998. Whatever may be the degree of repairs or rehabilitation or modification, this 119 years old structure cannot be turned into modern structure. Yet, the Headworks is a key element of one of the most important irrigation systems of the province (rather country) and no delay in formulating plans for construction of new Khanki Barrage.
1.2 PROJECT LOCATIONS AND DIMENSIONS 15. Khanki Headworks is the oldest Headworks of Pakistan (32o24‟09.65” N 73o58‟14.30”E). It is present at river Chenab in Gujranwala District (see Fig 1.1 Project Location Map). The proposed The New Khanki Barrage (Latitude 32o24‟09.11” North and Longitude 73o58‟01.25” East) will be located on Chenab River approximately 900 ft downstream of the existing Khanki Head works in Wazirabad Tehsil of Gujranwala District in Punjab Province. It is 72 miles from Lahore, 15 miles from Wazirabad Town, 40 miles below Marala Barrage and 15 miles upstream of Qadirabad Barrage.
1.3 PROJECT OVERVIEW 16. LCC is a gigantic contiguous irrigation system which is irrigating a vast area in Rachna Doab. Some idea of the extent and vastness of this canal system, as it stands today, can be had from the following facts:
Designed discharge at head : 11538 Cusecs. Area served (GCA) : 3,647,683 Acres (Located in 6 districts of central Punjab) Area irrigated 2006-07 : 5,000,350 Acres Designed intensity of irrigation : 75% 6 Actual intensity of irrigation : 165% Length of channels : 2,925 units (4680 km) Number of outlets : 6,954 Water Flow : Non-perennial (see Plate 1.15)
1.4 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
17. Main objectives of the New Khanki Barrage Project are as follows: To replace the old barrage with a new structure about 900 ft. downstream of the old barrage and to avoid possible catastrophe, should the old barrage collapse or get washed away due to old age. By replacing the barrage, save the canal network of 2925 channels (4680 KMs) irrigating above 5 million acres in 6 districts of central Punjab. By saving agriculture and Fisheries in Central Punjab, save the socio-economic structure of agricultural communities consisting of above 3 million people. This is the only Headworks in Punjab which has no bridge facility, areas on both side of the river are highly populated and lands are very fertile.
1.5 Project components 18. The Project construction activities will consist of the following: Construction of the new barrage at 900 ft downstream of the old head work
1. Construction of new bridge over the new barrage 2. Construction of LCC Head Regulator and small road bridge 3. Dismantling of old Khanki Head work 4. Construction of public park and Mosque 5. Construction of new Irrigation Staff colony by demolishing the existing old ruined colony.
The lower Irrigation staff colony adjacent to “Right side to existing LCC” spur shall get demolished because of the route of the link canal and a new colony shall have to be built on the adjacent PID land.
6. Rehabilitation of school 7. Construction of new Basic Health Unit (BHU) 8. Construction of the Consultant‟s Residence 9. Rehabilitation of the old Workshop 10. Acquisition of Private land for construction of new LCC 11. Alteration in route of High level Channel along the new LCC 12. Development and improvement of the access road (about 35 km)
1.6 ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS 1.6.1 No project option/worst scenario option. 19. The Headworks, originally constructed in 1892, was a very flimsy structure. Khanki Headworks is the oldest head work of Pakistan It is shutter type structure, on outdated technique, used to control water flow and flood flow in River Chenab. It is now too old and outdated to continue providing required services. Khanki Headwork provides water to tributaries such as Lower Chenab Canal (L.C.C). It provides water to three million acres (12,000 km²) of agricultural lands by one main canal, Lower Chenab and 59 distributaries. The “no project” option is considered inappropriate. In view of the long term and wide spread benefits of safe and a long term New Khanki Barrage Project (NKBP). 1.6.2 Construction of Barrage at 4.5 Mile Down Stream 20. A new barrage is built on a new site, 4½ miles below existing Khanki Headworks, creating storage and electric power generation and present site are abandoned altogether and the existing structures are demolished to create a clear pond. Major weakness of this option is social Problems. There are 25 settlements and one main village (Kot-Natho) located within the
7 proposed storage area. The agriculture land of 38 villages‟ along with their prime agriculture land shall be under pond water. The population shall have to be shifted and resettled. The affectees shall also be paid compensation for land, houses, loss of income, shifting and resettlement. The forest land supporting elite Shisham Forest shall be lost forever. This option is dropped to large magnitude of resettlement
1.6.3 Remodeling Of Present Weir 21. Weirs is too old physically and too antique a model to stand for tenure of 50 years. The brick work and the superstructure can neither be repaired nor modernized. It has an archaic system of regulation through shutters, which is not only very cumbersome but also does not permit precise control over pond level. The transport of equipment and man power across the weir is through an aerial ropeway system which is not only very time consuming but also dangerous for the lives of crew staff. The SWR having been used for the purpose dates back to 1907. The capacity of the weir (800,000 cusecs) is not compatible with the capacities of Marala Barrage (1,100,000 Cusecs) and Qadirabad Barrage (900,000 cusecs).technically this option is not viable because this time old Headworks cannot cope with the demands on modern age irrigation techniques
1.6.4 New Barrage Construction of Same Location 22. Construction of a new barrage exactly on the same foundation, the old structure shall have to be demolished, in part or whole and it will upset the existing L.C.C. system. The effects so created may not be easily manageable. There will be a possibility of a mishap causing high floods downstream submerging villages and causing human and cattle life losses. The idea of a bridge over the barrage may have to be abandoned altogether. Also huge quantities of debris produced out of the destruction of the old weir shall have to be disposed off. And even the idea of increase of the pond capacity while keeping the structure on the same site will cause environmental and social problems. Replacing the shutters with proper operational gates will not be possible, as new foundations will be required which cannot be constructed without breaking the weir crest floors. This option is dropped on technical grounds.
1.6.5 New Barrage is Built Upstream Existing Headworks 23. The river span upstream the old weir is wider than the site where the old barrage was sited. The length of the barrage shall increase if located 1500‟-2000 ft upstream and the lands and several villages of Nathu Kot others shall be inundated, destroying 1200 houses displacing more than 100,000 persons, and creating an A Class resettlement problem. The L.C.C. Head Regulator shall also have to be shifted upstream and a link Canal shall be required to link up the new barrage to L.C.C. The link canal will pass through the Irrigation Department Colony and office which shall have to be shifted elsewhere increasing additional cost of land and buildings. By submerging more agricultural as well as alluvial lands, significant change will take place in the upstream habitat of flora and fauna. A change in the pond structure will necessitate modifications in the existing or construction of altogether new river training works, accruing exorbitant additional costs. This option is dropped due to huge quantum of resettlement issues and land acquisition.
1.6.6 Selected Option 24. The site of the new barrage is about 900 ft downstream of the old weir near the ends of the right bell bund and the left bell bund Up to this point the span of the river is as narrow as that of the old weir. It will be possible to have a barrage of almost same length but with a better design and most modern mechanism. The barrage gates can be electronically controlled through automation. The height can be so manipulated that the pond level does not change in its overall shape. The actual purpose of the project is to replace the old structure with a new and modern one so as to keep L.C.C. system running at optimal level inclusion of storage of water. Generation of hydroelectricity is additional benefit added to the original scope of the project. This is the option which is most suitable technically and has least resettlement issues.

SECTION 2
SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT
2.1 OBJECTIVES OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT PLAN 25. Main objective of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) is to assess the impacts on Affected Persons (APs), provide compensation to APs and to develop a mechanism to implement LARP. LARP is prepared by Project Management Office (PMO) for Punjab Barrages, irrigation Department. This LARP is prepared to fit the provisions of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) and the requirements of ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) for Involuntary Resettlement. All project impacts and sets out objectives, principles, compensation criteria and public participation mechanisms to rehabilitate the APs. For preparation of LARP socio- economic survey, damages survey and market prices for different assets are collected from the market and concerned departments.
26. To Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (i) land- based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based and where it is possible to give cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where these are possible.
27. For this purpose different activities of Social Development are identified like vocational Training programme for the affectees, Upgrading of the Government school in the area, construction of Basic Health Unit, Employment opportunity with the contractor at construction time, construction of Public Park to Barrage site to enhance the economic activity and for tourism development. The affectees will be given judicious compensation on market base. The government employee of Irrigation Department will be relocated in a better new constructed colony with all civic and infrastructural facilities like Sui gas, electricity, water supply and infrastructural development. Beside this approach road to Barrage will be rehabilitated. 700 ft new road will be constructed to link the Barrage Bridge with Gujrat road. By this facility distance from Mandi Bahudin to Gujrat will be shorten 15 km and people will get better employment and traveling facility of the area will and will. By this bridge and road construction about 5 million people of the area will bet benefited by directly from this trans river communication.
28. At downstream the Khanki Headworks the Chenab River has change its course and began to swallow fastly towards its left bank. Severe erosive action has been started it is a great threat for adjacent villages and civil infrastructure i.e. roads school etc. To save the adjacent villages and civil infrastructure a battery of four (4) number studs will be constructed in addition to save them from potential threat of flood.
2.2 SCOPE OF STUDY 29. The Project construction activities will consist of construction of the new barrage, construction of new bridge over the new barrage, construction of LCC Head Regulator and small bridge, construction of public park, Mosque, BHU, Irrigation Staff Colony, rehabilitation of school, Workshop, and development and improvement of the access road (about 35 km). to mitigate the negative impacts of this civil works, LARP is prepared for improvement and rehabilitation of affected population.
30. The project is committed in providing entitlement to persons who lose their land and other property/ businesses due to the Project execution. Scope of the study includes calculating the
10 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
impacts on land and land based assets, estimation of all material losses incurred by project execution, census of all affected people and families, restoration of livelihood and preparation of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Action Plan based on the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement on Involuntary Resettlement.
31. The impact assessment and LARP preparation will a part of the preparation of each tranche of funding. The LARP for tranche 2 sub-projects will be updated on completion of detailed design. The requirement is to take the completed detailed design of the intervention and carry out a measurement survey and enumeration. The appraisal will entail the following studies and investigations:
(i) Census Survey: An IPSA will be prepared for each tranche. A census of all DFs and displaced persons (DPs) will be undertaken. The Census will determine the exact number of DFs/ displaced persons and how they are affected by the specific land acquisition requirements of a subproject. The Census will also identify all vulnerable displaced families (VDFs/ VDPs).
(ii) Impacts Assessment and Inventory: This task will be based on a Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS), which identifies the nature and magnitude of loss/ impact. The survey will include all losses including land (residential, commercial and agricultural), immovable structures, communal, public and cultural/ religious facilities, crops, trees and business incomes and wages.
(iii) Updating of land records with the support of the Land Acquisition Collector (LAC) and other revenue staff.
(iv) In case the private land is acquired, compensation rates after holding enquiry of section 5 (a) of the LAA and Board of Revenue approved prices will be included in the final LARP/s.
(v) Socioeconomic Survey: A socio-economic survey of 25% of the DFs/ DPs will be carried out to provide a detailed socio-economic profile of displaced persons, which would provide a basis for subsequent monitoring studies. The information gathered will focus on: (i) household composition and demography; (ii) ethnicity/caste groups; (iii) education; (iv) land ownership patterns, (v) livelihood patterns;; (vi) income levels and expenditure patterns; (viii) displaced persons views on the subproject and various resettlement and rehabilitation options; (viii) specific impacts on the poor, indigenous people (if any), women and other vulnerable groups.
(vi) Gender Impacts and Mitigation Measures
32. In general, about one-half of the total population of Pakistan is women who have the rights to have an equal participation in the economic development of the country. In this context, in the development project, a particular attention will need to be given to the women
33. Women household heads were registered as the recipients of compensation and rehabilitation measures due to the project impact. Land titles and use rights to replacement of land were registered in the name of women if the land lost to a subproject was legally owned by women. Women was be included in the consultation process through meetings held with the women and will be encouraged to participate in the LARP planning and implementation process. The following aspects will be covered under the gender impact assessment:
Include female enumerators during the impact assessment survey.
11 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
Impact assessment of DFs/ DPs indicating the total number of families and people must be gender disaggregated to pinpoint how many women are likely to be affected by the Project and establish their pre-project conditions. Women will be the major participants in the consultation processes to determine and negotiate for compensation entitlements and implement the LARP. Special attention will be given to the impact of resettlement on women and other vulnerable groups, such as IPs, during monitoring and evaluation of the LARP. Land/ house titles was be in the name of actual owner of spouses for asset replacement/ or for relocation.
2.3 Project Implementation Conditionalities 34. Preparation of the LARP for implementation of the project for will be subjected to a number of LARP related condition as follows:
I. Finalization of LARP ready for implementation after approval from ADB. II. The implementation of a LARP, including the full completion program detailed in the document, will be condition for the provision of no objection to the initiation of civil works III. Full disclosure of this LARP to the APs.
2.4 LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT PLAN (LARP) 35. In spite of best efforts to avoid land acquisition, less or more land acquisition is involved in construction of Barrage. One of the main impacts of the project will be arising due to the acquisition of land. The project is committed to compensate to the persons who loose their land and other property/businesses and the provisions of law that apply to such situation will be followed.
36. This Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) has been developed to minimize involuntary resettlement to ensure that the persons to be displaced have their former living standards and improved income earning capacity or at least restored to original position.
37. All the development projects including the resettlement components will take into consideration the compensation aspects. Currently Land Acquisition Act of 1894 facilitate the Provincial Governments and the Project Implementation Agencies (PIA‟s) to frame rules and regulations for the development projects requirements including compensation of the Project affectees‟ assets. This has been supplemented through development of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) prepared by Irrigation Department and duly approved by Asian Development Bank (ADB).
38. For preparation of this LARP field investigations and data collection was conducted in July 2011. Rate analysis for different structures, trees and crop compensation was prepared in July 2011 based on the rates obtained from concerned departments and market rates. The prices quoted in report for land and all land based assets like houses, commercial structures, trees and crops are presently prevailing in market.

(i) Agricultural Land Impacts will be compensated as follows: a) Permanent Losses: legal/legalizable landowners (legalizable owners assessed by the DPAC include those who may have customary rights to their land which could be converted to statutory rights) are compensated either in cash at replacement cost plus a 15% compulsory acquisition surcharge (CAS) free of taxes and transfer costs; or through land for land compensation mechanisms with plots comparable in area, productivity and location to the plots lost. Leaseholders of public land will receive rehabilitation in cash equivalent to the market value of the gross yield of lost land for the remaining lease years (up to a maximum of three years). The squatters/ encroachers especially vulnerable will be rehabilitated for the loss of land use through a special self-relocation allowance (additional to all allowances detailed below) corresponding to one year of agricultural income or through the provision of a free or leased replacement plot comparable in area, productivity and location to the plots lost.
32 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
b) Temporary Land Loss: legal/ legalizable owners and tenants or encroachers assessed by the DPAC will receive cash compensation equal to the average market value of each lost harvest for the duration of the loss, and by the restoration of both, cultivable and uncultivable land, to pre-construction conditions. Through specification in the contract agreements, contractors will be required to carry out restoration works before handing land back to the original occupiers, or DPs will be provided with cash to rehabilitate the land.
c) Vulnerable Displaced Persons: Vulnerable households will be entitled to an allowance equal to the market value of the harvest of the lost land for one year (Rabi and kharif seasons), in addition to the standard crop compensation. The aim of this payment is to assist vulnerable displaced persons to overcome the short-term adverse impacts of land and asset loss, and help them to readjust to their changed circumstances while they are making replacement earning arrangements. There will be a need to closely monitor such displaced people. One-time payment should, at the absolute minimum be adequate to provide them with equivalent level of livelihood than they had previously. Other options can be considered, including non-cash based livelihood support and employment (both temporary and permanent) as well as provide some vocational training. Other additional income restoration measures can be considered based upon the findings of the Social Impact Assessment.
d) Residential and Commercial Land will be compensated at replacement value for each category of the DPs. Assessments will be conducted by the DPAC. There are complex issues when a DP may not lose all of their residential and commercial land but it is significant enough for them to consider relocating. Land will be valued at replacement cost based on current market values by carrying out a survey of transactions in the year before the date of invoking Section 5 and subsequent sections. The detailed socio-economic household surveys will need to identify when such situations occur. In such cases, compensation may need to be made for all of their land even though not all of it has to be acquired. Residential and commercial land owners will be entitled to the following:
i) Legal/ legalizable owners will be compensated by means of either cash compensation for lost land at replacement cost based on the market value of the lost land plus a 15% CAS, free of taxes and transfer costs; or in the form of replacement land of comparable value and location as the lost asset.
ii) Renters are compensated by means of cash compensation equivalent to three months of rent or a value proportionate to the duration of the remaining lease, including any deposits they may lose.
iii) Encroachers/ Squatters if physically relocated, are compensated through (a) a self-relocation allowance covering up to six months of income, or relocation within or around (whichever most viable) the existing location, and (b) provision of a leased replacement plot in a public owned land area. They will be compensated for the loss of immovable assets, but not for the land that they are occupying.
e) Land for land compensation has significant advantages that it reduces the chance of displaced people spending their compensation on unproductive items. The difficulty is that in the location of the proposed program there might be no availability of similar category of land. In cases where displaced persons desire land for land compensation, then the process by which replacement land is identified needs to be recorded. When land for land compensation is used, along with provision of replacement housing, then the replacement plots are to include all basic facilities and services such as water supply, sanitation, roads, drainage and electricity. The LARP will detail the costs for site development and for the
33 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
provision of these basic facilities.
The LARP will clearly describe the details regarding site preparation/ development and implementation schedule and tentative arrangements. In managing the land for land relocation, the socio-cultural and religious characteristics of the displaced persons and host communities will be taken into consideration and the distance between the old and new locations should be minimized, so that routine business activities and or community interaction could not be affected. If land for land cannot be found appropriate, the LARP will clearly demonstrate the lack of land. ii) All other Assets and Incomes
a) Houses, buildings and structures will be compensated for in-cash at replacement cost plus 15% CAS. There will also be a 10% electrification allowance and any transaction costs will be paid. Material that can be salvaged is allowed to be taken by the owner, even if compensation has been paid for them. For evaluation of replacement costs, a survey will be conducted to obtain the current prices for calculation of compensation. If land acquisition is through the LAA, the District Price Assessment Committee will hold meetings with displaced persons on compensation assessments. The SSU will participate as an observer and will ensure minutes are kept. The Collector will enquiry under section 5 (a) of the LAA, SSU will document the proceedings. If lease agreements are made between displaced persons, and the PIDP, formal lease agreements will be signed. Thus, the houses, buildings and other structures will be valued at replacement cost plus labor cost based on the area, type and material of the affected item. No deductions will be made for depreciation, salvageable materials or transaction costs and taxes. Rates for building structures will be evaluated by the Building Department using the latest quarterly report that is regularly published by the Building Department.
b) Renters or leaseholders of a house or structure are entitled to cash compensation equivalent to three months rent or reimbursed for any outstanding time on the lease for which payments have been made.
c) Crops compensation will be paid to the owners, tenants and sharecroppers based on their agreed shares. If permanent land acquisition, the compensation will be the full market rate for one year of harvest including both rabi and kharif seasons .If temporary for the season lost. Crops will be valued at current market rates of gross value of harvest as valued by the Agricultural Department.
d) Fruit and other productive trees will be compensated for based on rates sufficient to cover income replacement for the time needed to re-grow a tree to the productivity of the one lost. The loss of fruit bearing trees will be compensated for based on their type, productive age and the market value of the produce for the remaining period of its average life. The value of younger fruit trees will be based on the expenditure made to bring the tree to its current state. The Horticultural wing of the Agriculture Department will assess the unit rates.
e) Trees used as sources of timber will be compensated for based on the market value of the wood production, having taken due consideration of the future potential value. The value of trees that would have been used for timber will be calculated based on the average volume and quality of wood produced and taking into consideration the size classes as determined by girth, diameter at breast, height and volume as assessed by the Forest Department.
34 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
f) Businesses will be compensated for with cash compensation equal to six months of income for permanent business losses. For temporary losses, cash compensation equal to the period of the interruption of business will be paid up to a maximum of six months or covering the period of income loss based on construction activity.
Workers and employees will be compensated with cash for lost wages during the period of business interruption, up to a maximum of three months or for the period of disruption.
g) Relocation assistance is to be paid for DPs who are forced to move from their property. The level of the assistance (transition support) is to be adequate to cover transport costs and special livelihood expenses for at least 1 month or based on the severity of impact as determined on a case-by- case basis and included in the LARP.
h) Community Structures and Public Utilities, including mosques and other religious sites, graveyards, schools, health centers, hospitals, roads, water supply and sewerage lines, will be fully replaced or rehabilitated to ensure their level of provision is, at a minimum, to the pre-project situation.
i) Vulnerable people are defined as households who have a per capita monthly income2 of below Rs. 7,500 (or provincial figures relevant at the time of tranche preparation) and those who are headed by a woman/ or widow/ disabled adult or identified as vulnerable through the SIA. This figure is based on the provincial poverty line using the minimum wages that are fixed by the GOPb. These vulnerable people will be identified through the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) process and will receive a lump sum allowance, or additional assistance, to enable them to restore their livelihoods. They must be compensated and supported to improve their living standards to at least national minimum standards.
116. Detailed household level socio-economic surveys will need to be carried out prior to any land acquisition activity in order to fix the baseline condition. At this time, an assessment is to be carried out to determine the nature and level of household losses and the likely impact on livelihoods. The range of options available, including relocation, will be outlined to the displaced persons. These surveys of all displaced persons will need to be repeated if more than one year has passed since preparing LARPs and project approval and for monitoring purposes.
117. APs entitled to compensation or at least rehabilitation under the Project are:-
a. All APs losing land either with legal title/ traditional land rights or without; b. Tenants and sharecroppers whether registered or not; c. Owners of buildings, crops, plants or other objects attached to the land; and d. APs losing business, income and salaries.
118. Compensation eligibility is limited to a cut-off date of 25 July 2011 for this project as starting day of the AP census and impact assessment. APs who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation. APs are informed about cut of date in public consultation sessions and Irrigation Department staff at site is continuously conveying them about this cut of date. They, however will be given sufficient advance notice, request to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation. Their dismantled structures will not be
35 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
confiscated and they will not pay any fine or sanction. Forced eviction will only be considered after all other efforts are exhausted.
6.2 Compensation Basis 119. All components costs are aggregated to derive the overall costs of the houses and building structures accordingly. Price has been assessed on the basis of private construction cost prevailing in the area (current market rates). The rates for these categories are taken from Market Rate of Schedule (MRS) second quarter-2011 and non Schedule items are taken from rate analysis on prevailing market price for 2011 land rates are taken from latest mutation recorded in BOR record. Project affectees are allowed to take the salvaged material of their building structures for which no depreciation will be charged.
120. Unit rate is based on market prices of the area that have been collected through the field investigations and after consulting with the concerned government departments, local government representatives, revenue and forest departments of Govt of the Punjab, the private real estate agencies and village elders. Special focus is to ensure fair and just compensation to the PAPs. In addition to the above price of the land to be acquired is topped up by 15% as the land acquisition is involuntary and compulsory as per provisions of law. All the rates applied to the land and other land based assets have been assessed by the consultants as the prevailing rates applicable till 25th July, 2011. As such 25th July 2011 is treated as the cut off date for all the land and land based assets quantification. Another important aspect of the assets is that all building structures have been constructed on the agricultural land.
121. Field surveys indicate that most AFs have plans to relocate and settle down in nearby areas owned by them or make adjustments/ redesigning of the current building/ house structures.
6.3 Assessment of Compensation Unit Rate for House Building/ Structures 122. Houses/ buildings are valued at replacement value based on cost of materials, type of construction, labor, transport and other construction costs. No deductions will be applied for depreciation, salvaged materials and transaction costs. Buildings/ houses losses will be compensated at the overall cost per square feet which has been developed and applied for costing purposes, which is based on the current market rates. Keeping in view the market rates and by consulting different government engineering department following rates analysis has been developed for the compensation of the affectees.

6.4 Assessment of Compensation Unit Values of Land 123. Land is valued at replacement cost based on land sales survey in the year before compensation delivery. A District Price Assessment Committee (DPAC) is formed based on representatives of local government and affectees, which assessed prices for each village. These prices will be later on approved from BOR after considering complaints from the affectees.
37 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
6.5 Assessment of Compensation Unit Values of Crops 124. Annual crops are valued at market rates at the farm gate for a full 1 year crop. Current crops rates are received from relevant agricultural department in July 2011, which has a mechanism to update crop rates every year based on market rates. 6.6 Assessment of Compensation Unit Values of Trees 125. Fruit trees are valued based on age category (a. 1-2 year; b. 2-5; c. 5 – 12 years & Over 12+). Productive trees are valued at gross market value of 1-year income for the number of years needed to grow a new tree with the productive potential of the lost tree. For the non-fruit trees it is valued at dry wood volume basis output and its current market rates. For wood and Fruit trees unit prices are taken from Forest and Horticultural Departments in July 2011 who assess the prices every year based on market rates. Fruit trees are valued based on age category (a. 1-2 year; b. 2-5; c. 5 – 12 years & d. Over 12+). Productive trees are valued at gross market value of 1-year income for the number of years needed to grow a new tree with the productive potential of the lost tree. For the non-fruit trees it is valued at dry wood volume basis output and its current market rates. For wood and Fruit trees unit prices are taken from Forest and Horticultural Departments in July 2011 who assess the prices every year based on market rates.
6.7 Land Acquisition Act (1894) 126. The Pakistan law governing land acquisition is the LAA of 1894 and successive amendments. The LAA regulates the land acquisition process and enables the federal and provincial governments to acquire private land for public purposes through the exercise of the right of eminent domain. Land acquisition is a provincial responsibility and each province has its own interpretation of the Act. Some provinces also have their own province specific implementation rules. The LAA and its Implementation Rules require that, following an impact identification and valuation exercise, land and crops are compensated in cash at the current market rate to titled landowners. The LAA mandates that land valuation is to be based on the last 3 to 5 years average registered land-sale rates. However, in several recent cases, the median rate over the past 1 year, or even the current rates, has been applied with an added 15% Compulsory Acquisition Surcharge according to the provision of the law.
6.7.1 LAND ACQUISITION PROCESS 127. The present general law for acquisition of land for public purposes such as urban development, new roads, railway lines and canals etc, was introduced in the year 1894 as the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. This Act remains the primary law governing land acquisition in Pakistan today and is the principal general statute laying down the framework for the exercise of the right of eminent domain of the State.
128. A review of the important features of the 1894 Act is given below.
129. In accordance with the Act, the legal process is initiated by an application from the Government agency that requires the land (Requiring Body). As land is a provincial subject according to the Constitution, the next step is for the Provincial Government to deem it necessary to acquire land and it then takes the following actions.
130. Under Section 4, it causes the publication of preliminary notification notifying that the land is needed for a public purpose. This permits entry, survey and investigations of the land in question by an authorized Government servant. He shall pay compensation for any damage caused by such entry.
131. Under Section 5, a formal notification is issued that the particular land is needed for a public purpose. This notification is published in the official Gazette and the Collector is required to cause public notice to be given of the substance of the notification. Issuance of Section 5 has to take place not later than one year after notification of Section 4.
38 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
132. When the Provincial Government is satisfied, after considering the report, if any, made under Section 5-A that any particular land is required for public purpose, a declaration to that effect shall be made by an authorized officer of the Provincial Government under Section 6. This should follow within six months of the publication of the Section 5 notification.
133. After the declaration under Section 6, the Commissioner shall “direct the Collector to take order for the acquisition of land” under Section 7.
134. The Collector has then (Section 8) to cause the land to be marked out, measured and planned (if this was not done after Section 4).
135. Under Section 9, the Collector gives notice to all interested people that the Government intends to take possession of the land and if they have any claims for compensation that they be made to him at an appointed time.
136. When the Collector has made an award under Section 11, he will then take possession under Section 16 and the land shall thereupon vest absolutely in the Government, free from all encumbrances.
Salient Features of Various Sections of Land Acquisition Act 1894 and its Successive Amendments Sections Salient Features Section 4 Publication of preliminary notification and power for conducting survey.
Section 5 Formal notification of land for a public purpose. Section 5(a) covers the need for inquiry. Section 6 The Government makes a more formal declaration of intent to acquire land. Section 7 The Land Commissioner shall direct the Land Acquisition Collector (LAC) to take order for the acquisition of land. Section 8 The LAC has then to direct that the land required to be physically marked out, measured and planned. Section 9 The LAC gives notice to all DPs that the Government intends to take possession of the land and if they have any claims for compensation then these claims are to be made to him at an appointed time. Section 10 Delegates power to the LAC to record statements of DPs in the land to be acquired or any part thereof as co-proprietor, sub-proprietor, mortgagee, and tenant or otherwise. Section 11 Enables the Collector to make inquiries into the measurements, value and claim and issue the final "award". The award includes the land's marked area and the valuation of compensation. Section 16 When the LAC has made an award under Section 11, he will then take possession and the land shall thereupon vest absolutely in the Government, free from all encumbrances. Section 18 In case of dissatisfaction with the award, DPs may request the LAC to refer the case onward to the court for a decision. This does not affect the Government taking possession of the land. Section 23 The award of compensation for the owners for acquired land is determined at its market value plus 15% in view of the compulsory nature of the acquisition for public purposes. Section 28 Relates to the determination of compensation values and interest premium for land acquisition Section 31 Section 31 provides that the LAC can, instead of awarding cash compensation in respect of any land, make any arrangement with a person having an interest in such land, including the grant of other lands in exchange.
39 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
Section 17 Section 17 refers to emergency land acquisition, which will not be applied in this project.
6.8 ADB'S POLICY AND RESETTLEMENT PRINCIPLES
137. The policy principles and objectives are shown below with the key principles highlighted in bold. When land other than government owned land is to be acquired then a Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) is required. In cases, where just unused government land needs to be acquired then a LARDDP is required.
6.8.1 SPS 2009
6.8.2 Objectives 138 To avoid involuntary resettlement wherever possible; to minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; to enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and to improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.
6.8.3 Scope and Triggers 139. The involuntary resettlement safeguards covers physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas.
6.8.4 Policy Principles Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks. Carry out meaningful consultations with displaced persons, host communities, and concerned non- government organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line. These include the landless, the elderly, women and children. Specific safeguards cover Indigenous People, including those without statutory title to land, including those having communal rights, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the displaced persons' concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase. Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (i) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based and where it is possible to give cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where these are possible. Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and
40 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
community services, as required. Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing. Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status. Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets. Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons' entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule, Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to displaced persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the resettlement plan and its updates to displaced persons. Conceive and execute Involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project's coats and benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation. Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation. Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of the resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports. The external and internal monitoring report will be provided to ADB regularly. For this purpose an external monitor will be hired.
6.9 COMPARISON OF LAA AND ADB POLICY PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES 140. The land acquisition and resettlement aspects have been compared with respect to the Pakistan Land Acquisition Act (1894) and the ADB policy principles and are presented in the following table. The objective of this exercise is to identify the differences and gaps between the ADB assessment procedures and then the requirements of the Pakistan and Punjab government regulatory system. In case the Government of Pakistan and the Punjab systems are followed then there are likely to be shortfalls in comparison to the ADB requirements. The key ADB Policy Principles are (i) the need to screen the project early on in the planning stage, (ii) carry out meaningful consultation, (iii) at the minimum restore livelihood levels to what they were before the project, improve the livelihoods of displaced vulnerable groups (iv) prompt compensation at full replacement cost is to be paid (v) provide displaced people with adequate assistance, (vi) ensure that displaced people who have no statutory rights to the land that they are working and eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for the loss of non-land assets and (vii) disclose all reports.

There are special allowances for vulnerable displaced also provisions to be made for transitional persons including vulnerable groups period costs, and livelihood restoration. such as women headed households. There Particular attention must be paid to the are no requirements to assess opportunities poor and vulnerable groups, including for benefit sharing. women. A guiding principle is that DPs should at least be able to reach a defined minimum livelihood standard. In rural areas, DPs should be provided with legal access to replacement land and resources to the defined minimum livelihood level. In urban areas provision should be made for appropriate income sources and the legal and affordable access to adequate housing. 42 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP

6.9.2 Remedial Measures to Reconcile Gaps between the LAA and ADB Policy 141. Project specific resettlement issues have been addressed to assist non-titled persons and bridge the gap between existing practice and the main guidelines of the ADB SPS 2009 with respect to the involuntary resettlement. To reconcile the inconsistencies between the LAA (1894) and ADB policy, the government has drafted this LARF for the Investment Program, ensuring that compensation is provided at replacement cost for all direct and indirect losses so that no one is worse off because of the project. Provision of subsidies or allowances will need to be given for displaced households (DHs) that may be relocated, suffer business losses, or may be vulnerable.

SECTION 7
ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS
7.0 Compensation Entitlements 142. Entitlement provisions for APs losing land, houses, income losses and rehabilitation subsidies will include provisions for permanent and temporary land losses, house and buildings losses, crops and trees losses, a relocation subsidy, and a business losses allowance based on tax declarations and/or lump sums. The entitlements against each impact are detailed below:-
a. Agricultural Land Impacts. These impacts will be compensated at replacement value in cash vouchers based on current market rates plus 15% compulsory land acquisition charges. Eventual transaction taxes/fees will be paid by the EA or waived by local governments. b. Severe Agricultural Land Impacts. When an AP of the agricultural land is affected by >10% loss of land, AP (owners, leaseholders and sharecroppers) will get an additional allowance for severe impacts equal to the market value of one year‟s net income crop yield of the land lost {inclusive of both winter (Rabi) and summer (Kharif) harvest}. c. Residential/ Commercial Land Impacts. These impacts will be compensated at replacement value in cash/vouchers at current market rates free of deductions for transaction costs. Renters/leaseholders will receive an allowance corresponding to a 3 months‟ rent. d. Houses, Buildings, Structures Damages. These impacts will be compensated in cash/vouchers or cheques at replacement cost free of depreciation, value of salvaged materials and transaction costs deductions. The compensation will include the cost of lost water supply, electricity or telephone connections. When a house/ building is affected for more than 25% (or less than that but is structurally damaged) it will be compensated in its entirety. e. Income from Crops Losses.

RELOCATION OF HOUSING AND SETTLEMENTS
8.0 GENERAL 143. A detailed quantification of impacts and affectees has been made for the project execution of New Khanki Barrage and Studs construction project. Its assessment survey has been undertaken to prepare a database to assess and compensate for the losses associated with the land acquisition and displacement of population and loss of their businesses due to the construction of the Barrage.
8.1 PROJECT IMPACTS AND ASSESSMENT 144. The impacts assessment survey has been carried out through field investigations, by team comprising resettlement expert, sociologist, civil engineers, agronomist, ecologist, revenue staff comprehensive data has been collected and analyzed. Design engineering folders for New Khanki Barrage were used as the basis for field studies of the respective areas. Consequently various types of impacts have been quantified and assessed. Project impacts are mainly belonging to seven (7) categories: (i) impacts on land and land based assets, (ii) impacts on buildings structures / houses, Government buildings / infrastructure, (iii) community assets, (iv) Impacts on forest and fruit trees, (v) impacts on crops and (vi) Impacts on population. These are given in detail in the follow up sub sections related to each of these sub components.
8.1.1 Impacts on Land 145. In construction of Barrage, LCC Head Regulator, BHU, Public Park, Irrigation Staff Colony, Schools, mosque rehabilitation no land acquisition is involved. Land acquisition is involved only in tow components i.e. construction of LCC diversion channel and battery of four number studs. Rest of the construction will be done on Irrigation Department owned and possessed land. Rehabilitation of approach road, 35Km, will be carried out in already available ROW i.e. 35 feet.
146. Land required for construction of LCC East diversion channel and a battery of four number studs is almost 40 acres in total. Almost 11 acres land is required for construction of new LCC East channel in which 5 acre government land and 6 acre private land. Government land is leased out to Irrigation staff and private land is in possession of its owners. On the other hand for construction of studs 35 acres of private land is required and this whole land is in passions of its owners. This whole land is agricultural and under cultivation. Total land affected due to the Project is shown in the following Table 8.1 (Annexure-1).

147. Presently this whole land in under cultivation. Irrigation Department Land is cultivated by Departments employees and private land is cultivated by the farmers themselves. For private land compensation will go to their owners.
8.1.2 Impacts on Buildings Structures and Houses 148. The land to be acquired is all agricultural and there is no any construction on this land. There is no building on the land acquired for studs.
Irrigation staff colony is falling in the ROW of LCC East. There are 42 quarters in the colony. This colony was constructed at time of Khanki Headworks construction in 1892. The conditions of the buildings are deteriorated and most of the quarters are turned down into ruin. 12 quarters out of 42 are in use and 30 are abandoned due to their pathetic condition.
Reconstruction of the colony is also included in the scope of work of the project, New quarters will be build on Irrigation available land and these employees will be shifted in new colony before the demolishing of these quarters in first construction phase of construction.
149. There are only 5 private homes constructed on agriculture land. The occupants of these homes are encroacher. The land belongs to land lord. Data regarding building structures/ houses has been collected through physical measurements of their structure with their category. Type of building structures/ houses/ other installations are broadly divided into different categories according to the construction types.
150. The house coming in the ROW are more 80% impacted they will be compensated fully on replacement cost. The compensation for these houses is market based.
151. Houses. Through the field survey and actual interaction with the affectees, it was revealed that there are overall 19 affected houses / buildings structures need relocation. As given in Table 8.3 below. These all structures are will be relocated. Government servant quarter will be relocated because reconstruction of the colony is a component of the project and private structure are falling in the ROW. Detail is given in Annexure-2. These resident has showed their will to relocate Wazirabad which the nearest town 20 Km from the Project site.
152. Covered area for a house is that area which is under roof and considered as room/veranda. These covered areas are in homes mainly in shape of rooms. For boundary walls volume is measured in Cft.

154. There is no Hand Pump or Tube well standing in the field. Hand pumps are installed in houses. The cost of the hand pump and washrooms is included in the cost of respective structure where those are located.
8.1.3 Relocation Allowances and Livelihood Charges 155. Total 19 Aps will lose their homes. Out of them 14 are government employees. These employees will never be out of their job for a single day and need not to reconstruct their homes. They just required shifting their household to new homes for which they will be provided shifting charges only. 156. Owners of private homes are will provided with shifting charges and livelihood charges on the basis of their minimum wage rate. Based on the field survey/discussion with the APs the relocation has been set for Affectees is @ at Rs. 32,500 covering Rs. 22,500 for a three months livelihood allowance and Rs. 10,000 covering transportation expenses and government employee will be given only shifting charges allownce. The AF entitled to this allowance is listed in Table 8.7.

8.1.7 Impacts on Crops 161 In the project area of New Khanki Barrage, agriculture is predominantly carried out in all areas. The dominant crops are Wheat and rice. The agricultural year is divided in two seasons Rabi (the winter harvest) and Kharif (the summer harvest). The Rabi season is dominated by wheat while the Kharif season is dominated by rice.
162. Based on the above there in only one (1) crop annually:
a. Pattern: Wheat in winter (Rabi) summer and rice in summer (Kharif).
163. As it is assumed that each AF losing crops will be affected for the entire agricultural year the compensation given to each AF will be based on the specific cropping pattern typical of his farm. Table 8.10 below describe dominant crops, the yield/ Acres, net value (Gross value less expenses) and gross values of each cropping pattern. Average yields and income/ acre are reported from agriculture department and average expenses/ acres are estimated from field survey.

To ensure that contractors appropriately implement the agreed measures, the borrower/client will include the safeguard requirements in bidding documents and civil works contracts.
9.3 POVERTY ALLEVIATION 176. The country partnership strategy for Pakistan focuses on supporting irrigation sector reforms, capacity development for key agencies in irrigation & water management sector and investing in construction of new and rehabilitation & up gradation of existing irrigation infrastructure (Barrages & Canal Systems).
177. Pakistan agriculture performance is depending upon availability of irrigation water. Adequate, equitable and reliable irrigation supplies to cultivable lands are not only aiming to enhance agriculture productivity and sustainable development but also play role to reduce the poverty. Construction of new and rehabilitation & up gradation of existing irrigation infrastructure is a requirement to continue the process of equitable, reliable supplies to agriculture land and save the population from flood disaster. The project component will contribute directly to poverty reduction by providing employment opportunities to local people and to save them from flood disaster and indirectly by providing better water delivery to their crops and ultimately become the ground to increase in their income and reduce their poverty.
54 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
178. Construction of bridge on new Khanki Barrage is a provision of communication link across the river with MandiBahudin and Gujrat city. This link will become the source of poverty reduction with the economic and business activities/opportunities.
179. The project implementation agency is mainly focused on the rehabilitation and restoration of Project affectees for this purpose market based compensation to the afeectees for all their asset loss will be offered.

SECTION 13 MONITORING AND REPORTING
13.0 MONITORING AND EVALUATION 230. The land acquisition and resettlement process of the project will be monitored both internally and externally. Internal monitoring will be conducted by the EA (PMO) assisted by Support Consultant and Design & Supervision Consultant. External monitoring is required to monitor the livelihood compensation payments and have a significant impact. A qualified external monitor firm or consultant (EM) will be hired by the PMO and approved by the ADB. The EM will be selected among local consultants, NGOs, social research organizations or private sector companies. The frequency of external monitoring will be identified in each LARP depending on the scale and sensitivity of impacts. 231. The extent of monitoring activities, including their scope and timing, will be commensurate with the projects risks and impacts. The EA is required to carry out the safeguard measures and implement relevant plans as provided in the legal agreements. Monitoring reports will need to be prepared monthly, quarterly and annually. The EA is also required to:
(i) Establish and maintain procedures to monitor the progress of the implementation of resettlement plans. (ii) Verify their compliance with safeguard measures and their progress toward intended outcomes, (iii) Document and disclose monitoring results and identify necessary corrective and preventive actions in the periodic monitoring reports, (iv) Follow up on these actions to ensure progress toward the desired outcomes, (v) Retain qualified and experienced external monitor or qualified NGOs to verify monitoring information for projects with significant impacts and risks, (vi) Submit periodic monitoring reports (monthly, quarterly and annually) on safeguard measures.
232. The ADB reviews project performance against borrowers/ clients commitments as agreed in the legal documentation. The extent of ADB's monitoring and supervision activities will be commensurate with the projects risks and impacts. Monitoring and supervising of social safeguards is to be integrated into the project performance management system. The ADB will monitor projects on an ongoing basis until a project completion report is issued. All monitoring reports will be disclosed to displaced persons.
13.1 Internal Monitoring 233. The compliance of Resettlement Action Plan and Social Development activities are duty of Executing Agency (PMO). The results will be communicated to the ADB through the monthly or quarterly project implementation reports. Indicators to be used for internal monitoring will be those directly related to the land acquisition process, including levels of household well-being/ welfare. These indicators need to relate to the change in circumstances before project commencement, during construction and post construction. This information will be collected directly in the field by the Social Safeguard Unit of the PMO and reported monthly in order to assess the progress and results of the LARP implementation. The following are the specific times for setting of monitoring/ benchmarks data/ reports: i). During the initial information campaign and consultation with displaced persons.
66 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
ii). At the time of assessment of land acquisition entitlements, and also at the time of compensation payment for land, crops and trees. iii). At the time of compensation assessment and payment for affected structures and other non land, crop and tree assets. iv). Immediately after the relocation of displaced persons. v). At the time of payments for loss of income. vi). During the selection and distribution of replacement land areas. vii). During and after income restoration activities.
234. Based on the above information, the PMO (Social Safeguard Unit) will monitor the day to day resettlement activities related to subprojects using the following techniques: i). Review of census information for all displaced persons. ii). Consultation and informal interviews with displaced persons. iii). In-depth case studies and establishing baseline data iv). Sample surveys of displaced persons. v). Key informants interviews. vi). Public community meetings. vii). 13.2. External Monitoring 235. External monitoring and review of LARP will be carried out by a qualified EM during the implementation of LARP. The external monitoring results will be communicated in the form of a monitoring report to PMO and the ADB.
236. The external monitoring tasks include the review of internal monitoring reports and survey information, as well as the impact monitoring of LARP implementation, including displaced person and stakeholder consultations. The key issue is to ensure that the results of all monitoring are fed back into the decision making process and then allow modifications of procedures to take place in order to address the issues that have been identified. The drawing up and implementation of a Corrective Action Plan is the method by which this can be achieved.
237. The EM will also assess the situation of affected vulnerable groups, including female- headed households, with selection based upon consideration of appropriate socio-economic indicators and a review of the LARP implementation process. In the event that displaced persons will need to be relocated, the EM will carry out a post-implementation evaluation of the LARP about a year after completion of the respective tranche of the work, in order to ascertain whether the objectives of the LARP were attained. The benchmark data of the socio-economic survey of displaced persons conducted during the preparation of the LARP will be used to compare the pre and post-project conditions. The EM will recommend appropriate supplementary assistance for the displaced persons should the outcome of the study show that the objectives of the LARP have not been achieved.
13.3 ADB SAFEGUARD POLICY FOR MONITORINING AND REPORTING 238. Both the borrower/client and ADB have their own separate monitoring responsibilities. The extent of monitoring activities, including their scope and periodicity, will be commensurate with the project‟s risks and impacts. Borrowers/clients are required to implement safeguard measures and relevant safeguard plans, as provided in the legal agreements and to submit periodic monitoring reports on their implementation performance. According to ADB safeguard policy it require from the borrowers/clients to:
67 Resettlement Action Plan for New Khanki Barrage Project LARP
(i) Establish and maintain procedures to monitor the progress of implementation of safeguard plans, (ii) Verify the compliance with safeguard measures and their progress toward intended outcomes, (iii) Document and disclose monitoring results and identify necessary corrective and preventive actions in the periodic monitoring reports. (iv) Follow up on these actions to ensure progress toward the desired outcomes (v) Retain qualified and experienced external experts or qualified NGOs to verify monitoring information for projects with significant impacts and risks (vi) Use independent advisory panels to monitor project implementation for highly complex and sensitive projects, and (vii) Submit periodic monitoring reports on safeguard measures as agreed with ADB.
239. Monitoring and supervising of social and environmental safeguards is integrated into the project performance management system.
13.4 Local Grievance Redress Mechanism 240. A grievance redress mechanism has been established to receive and facilitate resolution of affected peoples‟ concerns and grievances about the borrower‟s/clients social and environmental performance at project level. It should address affected people‟s concerns and complaints promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to all segments of the affected people.
13.5 Accountability Mechanism 241. Project-affected people can also submit complaints to ADB‟s Accountability Mechanism. The Accountability Mechanism provides an independent forum and process whereby people adversely affected by ADB financed projects can voice, and seek a resolution of their problems, as well as report alleged violations of ADB‟s operational policies and procedures. The Accountability Mechanism comprises two separate, but related, phases, namely: (i) a consultation phase, led by ADB‟s special project facilitator who reports directly to the ADB President, to assist project-affected people in finding solutions to their problems; and (ii) a compliance review phase, led by a three-member panel that reports to the Board of Directors.

Additionally, in the event of a problem occurring in resettlement/ rehabilitation activities, as perceived by the monitoring teams, a Special Resettlement Monitoring Report (SRMR) will be prepared and sent to the concerned quarters for immediate action. In the event that major problems slip through this safety net, the monitoring process will pick them up and bring them to the attention of the PID/LAC and other appropriate authorities.
249. Formal midterm evaluation of the Project will be carried out in the middle of the project i.e. by early fourth quarter 2012 to assess the implementation of the resettlement activities and to ascertain if the PAPs have been able to successfully restore the standards of living.
13.12 LESSONS LEARNT 250 Resettlement and Rehabilitation programs are an important aspect of this project. This project is also serving as learning seat for planning and implementation of such projects within the country. During the implementation of LARP, it is likely that some observations may indicate some aspects which will be unique in its own way for which project specific mitigation measure are adopted. These would provide scientific base and guidance for planning and implementation of similar projects. Lessons learnt from this project, are essential, will be documented and published, for use of the project managers, experts, specialists, academicians and students. It will hence be important to evaluate this project and keep a track of the developments and experiences gained during the implementation of the project. Mostly the land acquisition and resettlement plans as envisaged under LARP will gain more importance as these are addressing the problems of the affectees and precisely focused towards mitigating the adverse affects of the implementation of the project. Consequently evaluation of the LARP implementation will provide immense guidance for future projects involving resettlement related issues.
