EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. Islamic Republic of Pakistan has received a loan, “Jalalpur Irrigation Project”, from Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan No.3599 PAK with the cost of US$ 274.63 Million for construction of Main Canal of 379 RDs length, 23 distributaries, 7 minors and 16 Flood Carrier Channels (FCCs) for Jalalpur Irrigation Project (JIP). The Project is expected to increase agricultural production with development of sustainable agriculture to alleviate poverty in Pind Dadan Khan and Khushab Tehsils of Districts Jhelum and Khushab by providing regular canal irrigation supplies during Kharif season and reduce the land degradation by minimizing the use of marginal quality ground water. About 170,000 acres of land will be irrigated.

2. The Main Canal would off-take from the right bank of the Rasool Barrage, for which provision for the canal head regulator already exists. The Main Canal of 1,350 cusec capacity will be about 116 km long and traverses along the foothills of the Salt Range.

3. The Project will primarily benefit over 315,000 rural people of more than 114 Mouza

falling under the three International Contract Biddings (ICBs) as mentioned below: JIP/WKS/ICB-P1 RD 0+000 to RD 52+000: Main Canal, 01 Distributary, 01 Escape and

03 FCCs. JIP/WKS/ICB-02 RD 52+000 to RD 225+500: Main Canal, 14 Distributaries, 02 Minor

Canals and 07 FCCs. JIP/WKS/ICB-03 RD 225+500 to RD 379+750: Main Canal, 8 Distributaries, 08 Minor

Canals and 06 FCCs.

4. This Internal Social Safeguard Monitoring Report # 06 is a Bi-Annual report and reflects the progress made on LARP implementation in Package-1 (Batch-1, 2 & 3) from RD 5+000 to RD 52+000 and part of Package-2 (Batch-4, 5 & 6) RD 52+000 to RD 158+000 only. The reporting period is November 2019 to March 2020.

5. Land measuring 8,730 acres is being acquired for the project (Package-1, 2 & 3). Due to land acquisition, 22 residential structures, 236 livestock sheds & tube well fixtures, 9,431 wood trees, 93 fruit plants, 02 public schools and 51 WAPDA electricity poles will also be affected. There are 127,171 DPs under project impact, amongst them, 278 found vulnerable.

1 BACKGROUND

16. Islamic Republic of Pakistan has received a loan, “Jalalpur Irrigation Project”, from Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan No.3599 PAK with the cost of US$ 274.63 Million for construction of Main Canal of 379 RDs length, 23 distributaries, 7 minors and 16 FCCs for Jalalpur Irrigation Project (JIP). The Project is expected to increase agricultural production with development of sustainable agriculture to alleviate poverty in Pind Dadan Khan and Khushab Tehsils of Districts Jhelum and Khushab by providing canal irrigation supplies during Kharif season and reduce the land degradation by minimizing the use of marginal quality ground water. Output of the Project envisages construction of a new irrigation system including a Main Canal & its system and appurtenant structures to irrigate about 170,000 acres of land in Tehsil Pind Dadan Khan and Khushab area. It also included the construction of 16 Flood Carrier Channels (FCCs) network to carry saline flood water of hill torrents (debouching over the command area) directly to Jhelum River. The project area map is shown as Figure 01 for ICB Package 1 & 2 and Figure 02 for ICB Package 3.

17. The command area of JIP is in the form of long strip of land bounded by the salt range hills on northern side and right bank of the Jhelum River on its southern side. The Main Canal would off-take from the right bank of the Rasool Barrage, for which provision for the canal head regulator already exists. The Main Canal of 1,350 cusecs capacity will be about 116 km long and traverses along the foothills of the Salt Range.

18. The Project will primarily benefit over 315,000 rural people of more than 114 Mouza falling under the three International Contract Biddings (ICBs). Its direct beneficiaries will be small farmers who would get regular irrigation supplies during Kharif season and increased agricultural production. The Project would reduce land degradation and salinization being caused due to saline flow from many hill torrents. Other beneficiaries will include farm laborers and women through enhanced farming activities.

19. Punjab Irrigation Department (PID) is the Executing Agency (EA). Feasibility study of Jalalpur Irrigation Project was prepared by NESPAK–ICS Joint Venture Consultants under grant ADB PPTA (8404-PAK) in 2015. As part of feasibility study in August 2017, PDA Consultants prepared Draft LARP for the whole project on the basis of detailed design and was submitted to ADB for Approval. Later on, JIP works were divided into three International Contract Packages (ICBs) and was agreed with ADB that LARP shall be prepared for each contract package as detailed below:

JIP/WKS/ICB-P1, RD 0+000 to RD 52+000: Main Canal, 01 Distributary, 01 Escape and 03 Flood Carrier Channels (FCCs).

JIP/WKS/ICB-P2, RD 52+000 to RD 225+500: Main Canal, 12 Distributaries, 02 Minor Canals and 05 Flood Carrier Channels (FCCs).

JIP/WKS/ICB-P3, RD 225+500 to RD 379+750: Main Canal, 10 Distributaries, 05 Minors and 08 Flood Carrier Channels (FCCs).

8 Way Forward

The remarkable percentage of unpaid DPs was caused due to many reasons which have

already been mentioned in the EMR. Although the efforts were made to contact them. The DPs

become scare in February 20 and started avoid to travel or come at gathering place due to virus. As the coronavirus situation is controlled and the LAC revenue staff resume their duty

(LAC persons of Tehsil Jhelum is not allowed to come on the duty due to above 50 years age), best try will be made with their association to cover unpaid DPs.
