EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Resettlement Action Plan has been prepared for Comprehensive Water Supply Service Improvements to Guntur Municipal Corporation- Packages-I&III taken up under APMDP with World Bank assistance.

This RAP covers project information and its impacts, R&R Policy frame work, Stakeholder’s meeting details, R&R entitlements, implementation arrangements, budget, Grievance Redressal Mechanism and synchronization of R&R and civil works.
Comprehensive Water Supply Service Improvements to Guntur Municipal Corporation is formulated with River Krishna as source with intake arrangements at Undavalli. The sub- project is aimed at augmenting the water supply by construction of Water Treatment Plants and strengthening the distribution by construction of ELSRs and remodeling of distribution system. This sub-project is taken up in 3 packages. An ARAP has already been prepared for Package-II.. Hence, scope of this RAP is limited to Packages-I&III.
The components of this sub-project have been so finalized that negative impacts are avoided as far as possible. The negative impacts are limited to displacement of 30 residential squatters on GMC land at Nulakpet and temporary displacement/ disturbance to 3 vendors on RoW during laying of pipelines. Following are the key provisions of the R&R policy frame work applied for this sub-project.
All displaced residential squatters (30) will be allotted a house in the resettlement zone at Tadepalli along with subsistence allowance and shifting allowance. Owners of the affected houses (21) will be paid compensation for lost structure. Vulnerable families will be given annuity policy / fixed deposit to yield monthly income of Rs.500. Shifting allowance of Rs.2200 and transitional allowance of Rs.3300 will be provided for affected roadside vendors on RoW.
Implementation of RAP will be done by the Commissioner, GMC. The RAP along with the budget for the same will be approved by GMC. The R&R implementation schedule has been synchronized with construction schedule. It will be ensured that compensation for the residential squatters and roadside vendors on RoW is paid before the commencement of respective civil works.
