INTRODUCTION 1. This is the Bi-annual monitoring report on involuntary Resettlement for (July- December 2019) covering works needed to be monitored identified IR issues in DDR August 2017 for 6 subprojects and DDR July 2018 for three additional provincial road sections: (i) road from Jahan Khan to FaizuLarro via Chak town, (29.1 km connecting N- 65 with N-55); (ii) road from Sehwan to Dadu (32 km); and (iii) road from Tando Allahyar to Chambar (19 km). 2. For this purpose, frequent field visits along with field staff of Supervision Consultants were undertaken from July to December 2019 to assess if project impacts are avoided based on design changes and if there are emerging IR issues during implementation. For this purpose all the 9 subproject roads were visited. 3. Public consultations with communities living around LAR areas and in project area were held with 36 shopkeepers and local people to seek their views on construction /rehabilitation of project roads. Meetings were also held with local residents of three additional roads to discuss probable project impacts and their mitigation measures. 2. STATUSOF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AT THE TIME OF FIELD VISIT 4. The progress of construction works up to December 2019 in all the 6 sub-projects and three additional roads is given below which are at different stages of implementation. ICB-01: Thull to Kandhkot Section (44.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-02: Sheranpur to Ratodero Section (36.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 96% ICB-03: Khyber to Sanghar Section (64.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-04: Sanghar to Mirpurkhas Section (63.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-05: Tando Muhammad Khan to Badin Section (67.0 Km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-06: Digri to Naukot Section (54km) Achieved Progress: 100% ICB-07: LOT-1 Tando Allahyar- Chamber Road (18KM) Construction Work is in progress ICB-07: LO-2 Sehwan- Dadu (32KM) Construction Work is in progress ICB-07: LOT-3 Jahan khan to FaizuLarro (29.1 KM) Construction Work is in progress 3. IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSTRUCTION ADJUSTMENTS TO AVOID IR IMPACTS 5. It has been observed that construction works in the encroached areas of Package- 1 sub-projects Thull to Kandhkot, Pacakage-2 Sheranpur and Package-6Digri to Naukot have been fully completed by effectively avoiding IR impacts as identified in DDR August 2017. 6. In Tando Jan Muhammad built up area of Package-6 sub-project Digri-Naukot road number of illegally extended portions of shops (encroachments) were demolished by the District Administration Mirpurkhas, Government of Sindh under its anti- encroachment drive, as per order of Supreme Court of Pakistan. Construction work has been completed, monitoring Team observed that the contractor has strictly followed the approved design of 7.3 meters of carriageway throughout the built up 4 Bi-Annual Monitoring Report (Jul-Dec 2019) area of Tando Jan Muhammad Bazaar. In this connection Special Due Diligence Report was prepared as required by ADB Mid-term Review Mission (MTR) and has been submitted to ADB. 4. INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON ADDITIONALSUB-PROJECTS 7. Construction activities have been started on proposed additional three sub- projects 8. On LOT-1 road Tando Allahyar To Chamber subproject, available road width was measured which is found11.30 meter throughout the road section with an exception of 10.5 m at village Fazul Mandri chainage10+500 where a mosque is located at the edge of road. Damage to the mosque has been avoided by reducing shoulders by about 0.40 m on both sides. 9. On LOT-2 Dadu-Sehwan road, available road width is sufficient for the main carriageway i.e. 7.3 meters particularly in local bazaar areas while at other bazaar areas more than 7.3 meters was available. However, At Wada Manhayoon town chainage 16+873 and chainage 17+00 only 7.0 to 8.5 m width is available. Therefore, the width of carriageway is reduced to 5.5m to avoid any IR impacts.
