A. Executive Summary 1. The National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB), constituted in 1985 under the

provisions of NCRPB Act, 1985, is a statutory body functioning under the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India. NCRPB has a mandate to systematically develop the National Capital Region (NCR) of India. NCR is spread over an area of 33,578 square kilometers (sq. km.). “Regional Plan 2012” A vision document was prepared and approved by NCRPB in 2005 for promoting the growth and balanced development of the “National Capital Region" and towards achieving the objective, NCRPB has laid down broad framework.

2. The main objective of this subproject is to Widen & Strengthen of the Road from NH-1 (Bahalgarh Chowk) to Sonepat to Gohana upto District Jind Boundary, Km 11.600 to Km 74.000 to facilitate the free and easy movement of traffic including the construction of special level crossing no. 27 at Sonepat. As part of the rehabilitation of the road stretch in Sonepat Division totaling a length of 62.45 kms is proposed for widening and strengthening from single/intermediate lane to two-lane.

3. The widening proposal in road corridor is within the existing right-of-way. The improvement work extends to all components of the road, namely, pavements, drains, structures within Right-of-Way (Row), improvement of the road geometry etc. The widening of this road stretch will facilitate smooth flow of traffic thereby reducing travel time and cost. Further, the poor pavement condition, bad geometry and the heavy traffic growth combined together warrant for an immediate protection and capacity augmentation of the project road.

4. This proposed construction project of road does not have any land acquisition issues. During detailed survey along the road corridor especially in the busy market area within the town only temporary impacts on 18 shops was envisaged. The shops have encroached upon the RoW. As per the proposed alignment sufficient width on both sides of the road is available. .

5. The encroachers who might suffer temporary impact during construction activity in the road stretch will be compensated as per the broad principals of ESMS of NCRPB and ADB Safeguard policies. According to NCRPB’s ESMS this subproject is categorized as S2 subproject which is similar to ADB IR categorization B.

B. Project Description 6. The main road network of Sonepat district consist of two national highway (NH1 and

NH71), five state highways and two major District Roads. The road selected for improvements is linking various villages to the main transport network consisting of National Highway and State Highway. In addition to the requirement for widening, the condition of the existing road is not good and needs rehabilitation.

7. The HSRDC has taken up project preparation for upgrading roads in many districts. The sub-project under consideration links many villages to major arterial roads of

2

Sonepat district. The upgrading proposal is for strengthening and capacity augmentation.

8. The road in this package is having intermediate lane width with bituminous pavement. The drainage condition of the subproject road especially in the village area requires improvement. Concrete pavements are generally provided in the village areas. The horizontal geometry of the project roads is reasonable except at village sections where many sharp curves are observed. As the project area is in flat terrain, smooth vertical profile which meets the required design standard is generally observed on the road.

9. The project road runs on medium to high embankments except in built-up areas where the road is in level with the adjoining land. Earthen shoulders and the berm dressing had not been carried out resulting in very less accumulation of rainwater at the edge of the carriageway. There is no submergence zone. Drainage condition barring village section is considered to be in fair condition. In village section, lack of drainage caused failure of concrete pavement. Thus, in village section, there is an immediate requirement to construct roadside drain. These improvements will be carried within the available RoW which is free of encroachments except Sonepat city area where during construction 18 shop owners might be temporarily impacted. No land acquisition is envisaged for this subproject.

10. The Linear Diagram of proposed Widening & Strengthening of Road From NH-1 (Bahalgarh Chowk) To Sonepat To Gohana Upto District Jind Boundary (Km 11.600 To Km 74.000) has been attached as Appendix V. The location of the shops which might be temporarily affected has been marked in the diagram as well.

C. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement 11. As per the ESMS of NCRPB and Asian Development Bank’s loan procedures for

financial intermediaries; this Short Resettlement Plan (SRP) has been prepared for the proposed strengthening and widening including reconstruction of the Road from NH-1 (Bahalgarh Chowk) to Sonepat to Gohana upto District Jind Boundary, Km 11.600 to Km 74.000.

12. The main objective is to strengthen and widen including reconstruction of the Road from NH-1 (Bahalgarh Chowk) to Sonepat to Gohana upto District Jind Boundary is to facilitate the free and easy movement of traffic including the construction of special level crossing no. 27 at Sonepat. The widening proposal in road corridor is within the existing right-of-way. No land acquisition is envisaged for carrying out the reconstruction and rehabilitation work along the proposed alignment.

13. No title-holder will be affected by the proposed subproject. There is no land or assets acquisition resulting into impact on title-holders. Transect walk was conducted between 15 to 25 February 2013 in the city limits and other build up areas to ascertain the probable resettlement impacts during actual civil works. Temporary impact was envisaged on 18 road side shops which have an extended portion towards the RoW. These shops will not suffer any form of structure loss during civil work. The extended

3

portions are temporary in nature and could be easily pushed back for a temporary period during construction. During public consultation the shopkeepers have voluntarily agreed to temporarily remove their extended portions. Sample copies of statement and other details along with the signature of the affected persons recorded during the survey period have been attached as Appendix III. However, a budget has been provisioned to mitigate any loss of livelihood on these shops during actual civil work. The location of the shops as well as important land marks along the road alignment has been presented in a linear diagram and appended as Appendix V. All the shops are located within Bahal Garh Chowk to village Nagar near Farmana road crossing. Table 1 below gives an idea about the proposed work along the alignment along with the probable IR impacts.

Note: All the works are proposed on the land belonging to Public Works Department, i.e. state government land. No land acquisition involved.

.

14. In line with NCRPB’s principals of involuntary resettlement as presented in ESMS, the subproject avoided land acquisition or impact to residential and commercial structures.

5

All the proposed improvements including widening have been proposed within the available RoW. Temporary impact on 18 shops which are encroaching upon the RoW within the city limits of Sonepat might be impacted during civil work. The details of the persons suffering temporary impact have been put as Appendix II.

15. This proposed construction for this subproject road will lead to loss of a small bus stand belonging to Haryana Roadways, a state government department. The same shall be relocated by the concerned department. The amount shall be deposited based on the estimates submitted by the concerned department. The entire process of relocation will be co-ordinated by the Divisional Engineer (Highways), Sonepat. The procedures adapted for shifting utilities shall be followed in this case as well. The local public will not face any inconvenience as the new bus stand will be constructed before dismantling the old one.

16. Some non fruit bearing trees on the road sides (4580 numbers) is likely to be cut during the widening work at various stretches. All the trees belong to forest department and the same shall be compensated after planting of 45800 nos. of trees at Baroda Minor RD 0 to 30 L&R and Bhadana Minor RD 0 to 20 L&R, a suitable location for such number of trees. These trees are not part of any designated forest area. The IA i.e. HSRDC will deposit the amount with Forest department for planting of 45800 trees in the land mentioned above. The correspondence with Forest department has been put in Annexure VII.

17. The project does not impact any common property resources. In the event of any impact to common property resources during the implementation of the project, such structures used by the community will be relocated by the respective line department and it will be coordinated by the Divisional Engineer (Highways), Sonepat. The relocation of community structures will be reviewed by the Project Engineer during the regular review meetings of the PIU and it will be ensured that all community structures and utilities are relocated prior to commencement of civil works.

18. At present necessary traffic arrangement measures with proper signage have been proposed to ensure smooth flow of traffic in this stretch. Usually traffic from Gohana, Kharkhoda, Bahalgarh and local residents use this road and will pass through this ROB after construction. At present traffic from Gohana pass through Badwasni Nehar. Traffic from Kharkhoda side pass through Nehar near Kalupur Chungi and traffic from Bahalgarh pass through Level Crossing No. 29 (near Sugar Mill). Although, ROB is also proposed on the Level Crossing No. 29 and during construction phase traffic from this level Crossing will be diverted to nearby level crossings or through the scheduled diversions. Main Traffic mostly heavy in nature, pass through Level Crossing No. 31, although light traffic move through an under pass and Level Crossing No. 28.

*Affected Trees belong to Forest department. ** Among the 18 probable affected persons, 01 tea shop is being run by a woman. But the household is not female headed. The family has other source of income and is not economically vulnerable.

D. Socioeconomic Information and Profile 19. Socio-economic survey was conducted among the affected households suffering

temporary impact. The census survey identified 18 Temporary encroachers on the road side (shops selling tea, type repairing etc.) to be affected during the construction period of the Road. Most of the shops are small entities earning their livelihood by the road side and no permanent impact on their economic activity is envisaged due to the implementation of this subproject. The details of the encroachers are placed at Appendix-II.

20. Generally principle earner for the family is men in the households who are involved in income generating activity. None of the households are below poverty line as Family

1 As per Planning Commission definition of BPL population is Rs. 965 (Rs. 32 per day) per capita/month in Urban areas and Rs. 781 (Rs. 26 per day) per capita/month in rural areas. This is based on June 2011 price level.

7

income of households is between Rs. 42,000/- and Rs. 70,000/- per annum or even more. As can be seen from Table 2, the monthly average income of the affected shop operators are approximately within Rs. 6000.00/month i.e. Rs. 200/day. All the affected shop operators would be compensated based on minimum wages multiplied by the actual number of days of temporary impact suffered. After discussion with the engineering team provision of 7 days loss has been estimated. The Government order (issued by Deputy Commissioner, Sonepat district) clearly mentions the maximum pay/wage rates for various professions. The rate of Rs. 220/day which includes dearness allowance as well has been considered as the unit rate for payment of compensation. This rate is slightly higher than the average per day income of the APs. The Government rates prevalent for Sonepat district (the subproject is located in Sonepat district) has been attached as Appendix IV.

21. There are no vulnerable persons who are getting temporarily affected due to this subproject. No Female Headed Households (FHH) is getting affected. One of the affected shops is being run by a woman but she is not the head of the family nor economically vulnerable. Based on the socio-economic information obtained during the census surveys the temporarily affected persons do not belong to any Scheduled Tribe or Scheduled caste category.

E. Information Disclosure, Consultation and Participation 22. The SRP was prepared only after focused group discussions, public meetings and in

consultation with all stakeholders. Direct interaction, interviews with the local community members, passerby and people residing nearby area, particularly people living in the villages along the road stretches was conducted.

23. The basic purpose for the widening / strengthening of road was discussed with the affected groups, members as well as villagers of the nearby area. Moreover the proposed widening / strengthening of road was explained in detail to the general public living in the area with details of improvement works proposed and the extent (two-lane) to which the roads are proposed for widening. The reason for identifying the stretch for widening or strengthening of road was discussed with the villagers in context of the volume of traffic crossing; the likely impact to land and structures along the alignment of road and its peripherals, and the efforts to be taken for minimizing the impacts.

24. The villagers as well as the daily users of the Road welcomed the proposal for widening / strengthening of Road and wanted the work to be undertaken immediately and completed as early as possible. However, there were some villagers having their shops near to the road who expressed concern about the dust pollution during road work may lead to less customers visiting their shops. They were also of the impression that the widening might require more land thereby affecting their respective business. But during detailed discussion all the concerns were properly addressed. It was shared by the HSRDC Officials that no land acquisition is required and in the buildup areas the improvements will be carried out within the available width of the road. Thus the

8

shop owners in villages near the road were largely satisfied. The queries and concern of the villagers and the response given is detailed in Appendix-VI.

25. Though no major impacts (apart from the temporary impacts on some shops in city limits of Sonepat) are envisaged at this stage; the Entitlement Framework (EF) of the ESMS and the SRP will be translated in Hindi. Both the English and Hindi versions will be made available to the villagers and the APs by the local division (Sonepat Division) of implementing agency viz. Haryana State Roads and Bridges Development Corporation Limited (HSRDC). Copies of the EF and SRP will be available at the office of the Executive Engineer, Sonepat Division, office of the concerned Sub-Divisional Engineers, office of the concerned village Panchayats, and its availability as part of public disclosure will be widely publicised through the village Panchayats. HSRDC will continue consultations, information dissemination, and disclosure. A Public Consultation and Disclosure Plan has been prepared and followed in various stages of the subproject. These stages as detailed below have been an integral part of the activity plan for this SRP.

26. Moreover a simple Public Information Brochure (PIB) incorporating the basic features of the subproject including R&R impacts and project cut-off date will be prepared by the IA (Sonepat Division, HSRDC). The PIB will be distributed among the various stakeholders especially among the community along the alignment of the road. The approved SRP will be shared with the affected shops (non titled APs) by the local Sonepat Division, HSRDC.

F. Grievance Redress Mechanisms 28. The HSRDC will constitute a three-member Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC)

comprising of the DGM, HSRDC, (jurisdictional DGM), the elected member of the project area and one member from the public who is known to be persons of integrity, good judgment and commands respect among the community. The existence of the GRC will be disseminated to the villagers through printed handouts providing details of the structure and process in redressing grievances. Any aggrieved villager can approach GRC, chaired by the DGM, HSRDC and if the grievance of the villager is not addressed, the aggrieved person will be directed to approach the District Collector. The aggrieved person will have the right to approach the court of law, if he/she is still unsatisfied with the decisions taken by the GRC and the Collector.

29. The GRC will meet every month, determine the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within a month of receiving the complaint; failing which the grievance will be addressed by the District Collector. If not satisfied, the affected households will have the option of approaching the appropriate courts of law. Records will be kept 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 final outcome.

G. Legal Framework 30. The ESMS of NCRPB is based on

(i) The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (amended in 1984),

(ii) The National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007,

10

(iii) Draft National tribal Policy, 2006 and

(iv) ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, June 2009.

(v) NCRPB Policy

31. All types of impacts on the Society related to the project includes IR impacts and impacts to IP

IR impacts:

Physical Displacement (relocation, loss of residential land or loss of shelter)

Economical Displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources or means of livelihood)

Impacts to IP:

Project-related IP impacts are triggered if a project directly or indirectly affects the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of Indigenous Peoples or affects the territories or natural or cultural resources that Indigenous Peoples own, use, occupy, or claim as an ancestral domain or asset.

32. Based on the above laws and principles, the core social safeguard principles are:

• Avoiding or minimizing involuntary resettlement and impacts to indigenous peoples by exploring project and design alternatives;

• In cases, where IR and impacts on IP are unavoidable, enhancing or, at least, restoring the livelihoods of all affected persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels;

• Improving the standard of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable group.

• Addressing through special efforts to reduce negative impacts on indigenous people; measures to ensure they receive culturally appropriate social and economic benefits, and also to ensure transparent mechanisms including consultations and actively participation in projects that affect them;

• Ensuring that affected persons benefit from the projects funded to the extent possible and they are consulted on the project at different stages of the project from its planning to implementation; and

• Integrating the RP and IPP with the overall preparation and implementation of the project and payment of compensation and other assistances prior to commencement of civil works.

33. This subproject involves no land acquisition. All the proposed improvements and widening will be carried out within the available RoW. In some portions within and near

11

to Sonepat town some encroachment were noticed within the formation width of the road. The shops (18 numbers) have either extended or using the road width for their business. But these are not permanent structures and could be easily shifted temporarily for their continued business activity. During public consultation the shop keepers have voluntarily agreed to move back within the available space. However provision for their livelihood loss has been kept as a part of the RP budget in case there is actual impact during road improvement works.

H. Entitlements, Assistance and Benefits 34. The entitlement framework of ESMS for this sub-project, based on the above policy

principles is not completely in compliance with the temporary impacts envisaged under this subproject. Hence as per the ADB’s safeguard policy principals and the provision of livelihood loss given in the entitlement framework the temporary impacts were ascertained and accordingly budget provisions has been kept in the SRP.

35. Impact on the structure belonging to one government department will be directly paid to the concerned department after final estimate is received.

36. After the survey, the census identified 18 encroachers to be affected during the construction period of the Road. The benefits shall be as per the Guide Lines of ADB, and the entitlement framework of ESMS which is tabulated below. Most sensitive stakeholder will be compensated before starting the project. Each encroacher will be given an allowance based on the livelihood loss provisions of the entitlement framework for the critical time. As per the information provided by the HSRDC, this critical time will be maximum for seven days i.e. Two days required in preparing the surface, two days in excavation, with another three days of margin for other related activities.

The provisions of temporary loss are not captured in the entitlement matrix. Hence the provision for loss under the title “Loss of employment to agricultural and non-agricultural workers” has

Haryana State Roads and Bridges Development Corporation Limited (HSRDC)

12

been followed.

Note: The entitlement framework of NCRPB’s ESMS has no provision to record and mitigate temporary impacts. During ADB’s safeguard mission (4-8 January 2013) it was decided that the temporary impacts will be recorded where necessary. Accordingly the impact under this particular subproject has been recorded and the provisions titled as “Loss of employment to agricultural and non-agricultural workers” of the entitlement framework was considered.

37. No titleholder will be affected during implementation of the subproject. If any unanticipated impact leads to acquisition of land and other assets the compensation eligibility will be limited by a cut-off date as set for this project which will be the issuance of the Section 4 (i) notification (LA notification). Compensation eligibility for non titleholders the day of the census survey (February 2013) will serve as the cut-off-date. APs who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation. However, APs will be given sufficient advance notice, requested to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation. Their dismantled structures materials will not be confiscated and they will not pay any fine or suffer any sanction.

38. Each encroacher will be required to be paid compensation based on minimum wages multiplied by the actual number of days of temporary impact suffered. After discussion with the engineering team provision of 7 days loss has been estimated. Most of the affected shops are small entities. During socio-economic data collection it was revealed that their monthly income is approximately Rs. 6000/- per Month; which is about Rs. 200/- per Day. The Government rate for minimum wages (issues by District Commissioner, Sonepat district dated 17.07.2012) which is including of dearness allowance is Rs. 220/- per day. This rate is slightly higher than the average per day income of the APs. This wage rate which is considered as the unit rate in the SRP is adequate to compensate the temporary probable impact on their income. Thus the budget of Rs. 27,720/- has been estimated for the 18 shops which might be affected in the entire stretch. The Government rates prevalent for Sonepat district (the subproject is located in Sonepat district) has been attached as Appendix IV.

39. Moreover a provision of Rs. 100000/- has been kept in the budget to mitigate any unanticipated impact identified during subproject implementation. Such impacts will be duly recorded and the affected households will be compensated as per the entitlement framework of NCRPB’s ESMS.

I. Relocation of Housing and Settlements 40. This particular subproject has only probable temporary impacts on the livelihood of 18

shops operating on the road sides of Sonepat town. The probable temporary impacts will be mitigated and required budget for the same has been indicated in the SRP. No

13

other form of impact is envisaged which requires relocation of housing or any other settlement.

J. Income Restoration and Rehabilitation 41. The basic objective of income restoration activities is that no project-affected person

shall be worse off than before the project. Restoration of at least pre-project levels of income is an important part of rehabilitating the affected persons. The census survey revealed that 18 HHs will experience impacts on their livelihood. This will be a temporary impact during a transitional period within which the shops might lose part of their income as they have to adjust/shift part of their frontage. But all the shops will continue to operate from the same location after road work is complete in that stretch.

42. Probable temporary impact on the income of the APs will be compensated as per broad principals of NCRPB’s ESMS and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009. The average income of the APs as revealed during socio-economic data collection is approximately Rs. 200/- per day. Most of them are small entities whose income can hardly be confirmed from any official records. Thus for compensation the minimum wage as prevalent in district Sonepat (issues by District Commissioner, Sonepat district dated 17.07.2012) has been considered. This wage is slightly higher than average per day income of the APs and hence adequate to compensate their income loss.

43. Although the subproject will not cause any specific gender issue and is neither focused particularly on women, implementation of subproject will have indirect positive impact on women. The subproject will augment the frequency and quality of transport services, thereby improving access of women to various services such as health care and higher levels of schooling and reduce travel time, as an immediate benefit. This will also reduce the intensity of traffic which in turn will reduce the intensity of road accidents.

K. Resettlement Budget and Financing Plan 44. The resettlement cost estimate for this subproject includes compensation for

temporary loss of livelihood. For mitigating unanticipated impacts budget has been provisioned. Contingency cost has also been made a part of the resettlement budget. Each temporary encroacher suffering temporary loss of livelihood will be compensated based on the minimum daily wages multiplied by the actual number of days of impact. As per the information provided by the HSRDC, this critical time will be maximum for seven days i.e. two days required in preparing the surface, two days in excavation, with another three days of margin for other related activities. Each encroacher will be paid for minimum allowances i.e. Rs. 220/- per day amounting to Rs. 220 x 18 x 7 = Rs. 27,720/- for the entire stretch.

14

45. The entitlement framework of NCRPB’s ESMS does not directly indicate the provisions under temporary impact. However to comply with ADB’s safeguard policy principals temporary impacts were recorded and budget provisions for the same has been kept.

46. The total R&R budget for the proposed subproject SRP works out to INR. 1,131,462.00 and presented in Table 4.

M. Implementation Schedule 49. The implementation schedule takes into account the approval accorded by NCRPB

after endorsed by ADB for the subproject subject to compliance of ESMS requirements.

50. Implementation of RP mainly consists of planning for relocation and livelihoods, restorations along with payment of all other compensation to DPs as per their entitlements. The time for implementation of resettlement plan will be scheduled as per the overall project schedule and relocation implementation if applicable. All activities related to the land acquisition and resettlement must be planned to ensure that compensation is paid prior to displacement and commencement of civil works. Public consultation, internal monitoring and grievance redress will be undertaken intermittently throughout the project duration. However, the schedule is subject to modification depending on the progress of the project activities. All compensation and other assistances will be paid to the APs prior to commencement of civil works.

51. The proposed RP implementation activities of the subproject are divided into two broad categories based on the stages of work and process of implementation. The details of activities involved in these two phases are: RP Implementation phase, Monitoring phase ─ which are discussed as following.

I. RP Implementation Phase

52. After the project preparation phase the next stage is implementation of RP which as per the requirements of the project includes issues like conducting of the negotiations with the affected persons. Payment of compensation; construction of relocation sites if required; allotment of the shops to the shopkeepers payment to all eligible for assistance; relocation of APs if required; additional assistance to the vulnerable groups; initiation of economic rehabilitation measures; site preparation for delivering the site to contractors for construction and finally starting civil work.

II. Monitoring and Reporting Period

53. As this project falls under the IR category B with insignificant Resettlement impacts, it will not require exclusive external monitoring. The subproject will have provision of internal monitoring. The internal monitoring will be carried out by the IA. The monitoring will be a regular activity throughout the project cycle. The IA shall be preparing Monthly Progress Report (MPR) of the subproject activities. RP implementation will be part of the MPR. The IA will be submitting the MPR to NCRPB. NCRPB on its part will be preparing and submitting detailed Bi-annual Social Monitoring Reports (SMR) reflecting the progress of RP implementation of each subproject, to ADB for concurrence. Moreover, Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) will be submitted to ADB for reporting physical progress of work. The QPR will also reflect broad features of RP implementation and LA issues of the subproject.

17

54. A composite implementation schedule for R&R activities in the subproject including various sub tasks and time line matching with civil work schedule is prepared and presented in the form of Table 6. Compensation eligibility is limited by a cut-off date as set for this project. Only temporary impacts on non-title holders are envisaged and the cut date of for non titleholders is the day of the census survey (February 2013). APs who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for any form of compensation. However, the sequence may change or delays may occur due to circumstances beyond the control of the project and accordingly the timeline can be adjusted for the implementation of the plan.

55. The impacts IR impacts identified under this subproject are temporary and not significant in nature. There is no need for hiring any NGO/agency for implementation of this resettlement plan. The IA i.e. HSRDC will be implementing this short resettlement plan. The officials of HSRDC were part of the census socio-economic survey and are fully aware about the need of implementing the SRP before start of civil work.

N. Monitoring and Evaluation 56. SRP implementation will be closely monitored to provide the HSRDC with an effective

basis for assessing resettlement progress and identifying potential difficulties and problems. Internal monitoring will be undertaken by the DGM, HSRDC. Internal monitoring will involve: (i) administrative monitoring to ensure that implementation is on schedule and problems are dealt with on a timely basis; (ii) socioeconomic monitoring before and after rehabilitation of the roads utilizing baseline information established through the socio-economic survey of AHs undertaken during project preparation, and (iii) overall monitoring to assess AHs status. A detailed micro level work plan with various activities required to be carried out will be given to the DGM, HSRDC. The work plan will indicate the targets to be achieved during the month. Monthly Progress Report (MPR) will be prepared reporting actual achievements against the targets fixed and reasons for shortfalls, if any. RP implementation progress will be part of the MPR which will be submitted to NCRPB by HSRDC. NCRPB on its part will be reflecting the progress of RP implementation (i) Broadly in QPR and (ii) Details in Bi-annual Social Monitoring Report (SMR). Both the QPR and SMR will be submitted to ADB for endorsement. The approved SMR having RP implementation details of all subprojects will be uploaded in NCRPB’s website. The HSRDC will be responsible for managing and maintaining AHs databases, documenting results of AHs census, and verifying asset and socioeconomic survey data, which will be used as the baseline for assessing SRP implementation impacts.

19

57. The impact evaluation will be carried out as part of the independent audit done by NCRPB in line with the ESMS. The audit will document, if the intended objectives of the SRP have been achieved.

58. Towards this the following indicators will form the basis for the assessment during the project implementation: (i) number of AHs paid compensation for; (ii) income levels of the AHs; changes and shifts in occupation/trade; (iii) changes in type/tenure of housing of AHs; and (iv) assets sold/bought. As per the ESMS of NCRPB, the independent audit will be carried out for approximately 25% of S2 projects. It will include donor-funded projects, and will necessarily include at least one project from different project types. The NCRPB will submit the independent audit report to ADB for review.

2. The queries and concerns of the participants and the response and proposed remedial measures for each of the query/concerns are presented below.

S. No. Query/Concern Response

1. The road gets damaged after each monsoon and repair works are delayed

It was explained that proper drainage has been proposed in the design and there will be no flooding on the road as drains are proposed on the both sides of the road near habitations/villages. Hence once laid, with minimum maintenance, the roads will last for a long time.

2. What is the width of the Road Two-lane road has been proposed and minimum 13-15 meters will be required.

3. What will happen in the village area where you will not have the required space

In built-up places, it is proposed to restrict widening within available space and provide realignments at later stage.

4. What will be the basis of fixing compensation

No compensation is required to be paid as there is no acquisition of land and other assets

5. Wanted the widening to start immediately and said encroachments can be demolished

Construction of road will start as per the Schedule & it was explained that adequate notice will be given before civil works start.

6. Wanted to know if construction will be carried out in one half of the Road so that the other half would be available for access

It was explained that road will be only strengthened and widened so movement of traffic will be on the other half of the road with proper signage and speed restrictions.

7. Will the construction of Road requires more land

There will be no land acquisition required as sufficient space is available.

8. What will be required to check the over-speeding of the vehicles thru stretches passing thru villages to control accidents?

Maximum numbers of speed-breakers with proper signage will be provided to check the over-speeding, which will be fulfilling the requirement of traffic rules and regulations.
