1. INTRODUCTION

1. This is Third Bi-annual Monitoring Report on Involuntary Resettlement for the period

from July 2018 to December 2018 as required by ADB for the implementation of the works

needs to be monitored to ensure that the adjustments and measures provided in the approved

Resettlement Due Diligence Report (DDR) approved in August 2017 by ADB regarding

Sindh Provincial Road Improvement Project under Loan 3305-PAKhave been implemented.

The project involves the rehabilitation of six major provincial roads in Sindh covering about

328 km of the provincial highway network. These six roads include: i) Thull to Kandhkot,

(ii) Sheranpur to Ratodero, (iii) Khyber to Sanghar, (iv) Sanghar to Mirpurkhas, (v) Tando

Muhammad Khan to Badin, and (vi) Digri to Naukot.

2. DDR identified IR issues in 6 subprojects where some sections have been encroached by

road-side structures. In encroached areas, construction works have been reduced to 7.3 m

carriage way having 1.5 m paved shoulders and 0.5 m unpaved shoulders on either side of

the road to avoid resettlement impacts. The Resettlement Due Diligence Report approved in

August 2017 by ADB confirmed that with the adjustment in the construction works in

encroached areas of the road sections, IR impacts from the works can effectively be

avoided. These included 15 commercial (small shops), 3 religious structures (mosques) and

a graveyard.

3. The DDR also indicated that care is required in the implementation of the construction

works along settlements to avoid accidental impacts during construction, and that in case of

accidental impacts a corrective action is required to compensate for such impacts. All

contractors have been notified by the PMU of the adjustments required to ensure that

impacts are avoided. An effective grievance redress mechanism and engagement of

stakeholders along the road sections being upgraded by the Project is also required.

4. For this purpose, frequent field visits along with field Supervision Consultants were under

taken from July to December 2018 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

6 subproject roads were visited.

Public consultations with communities living around LAR areas and in project area to

seek their views on the project and to discuss probable project impacts and their

mitigation measures.20 consultation meetings were held with 86 shopkeepers and local

people.

Review of available information including safeguard policy statement (SPS) 2009, earlier

documentation work prepared by PMU’S consultants, project design, cross-sections and

design parameters.

Discussions and consultation on social safeguard aspects of Sindh Provincial Road

Improvement Project (SPRIP) were also held with the PMU field staff and Supervision

Consultants (SC).

2. STATUS OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AT THE TIME OF FIELD

VISIT

The progress of construction works up to December 2018in all the 6 subprojects is given

below which are at different stages of implementation.

ICB-06: Digri to Naukot Section (54km) Achieved Progress: 80.64%

2.1 Implementation Of Construction Adjustments To Avoid IR Impacts

The team visited all 6 road subprojects where adjustments in construction work have been

proposed to avoid IR impacts (Thull to Kandhkot with 13 sections requiring adjustments;

Sheranpur to Ratodero with 10 sections requiring adjustments; and Digri to Naukot with

15 Sections requiring adjustments). In urban sections, interviews were made with some

roadside shop owners. The Monitoring Team observed that contractors have paid special

attention to avoid any damage done to commercials (small shops), religious structures

(mosques) and graveyard fully in compliance with the mitigation measures to avoid

impacts. No residential structure/dwelling unit was affected due the construction of

project. Similarly, there were no public buildings (e.g. schools and hospitals) were

affected due to project. Shop owners were also asked whether anti-encroachment

activities by the districts and province have been undertaken in the area. No new

encroachments were noted in the road sections. Details on observations made during the

field visit are provided in Table-1 Below. Photos of the structures that were having no

impact are also shown in figure-1 though figure-4.

Monitoring team observed that contractors acquired temporary land required for

establishing facilities including camp; workshop, plants, earth material and dumping

excess spoil have been acquired directly by contractors from private landowners. The

provisions of the land acquisition act, 1894 was not be invoked, as the acquisition of the

land is temporary and covered by short–term lease agreements between the landowners

and contractors under the approval of the Resident Engineer. It was observed that non-

agriculture land was temporarily acquired.

DAMAGE

The DDR also identified urban sections where there is a high risk of accidental damage to structures

during construction and proposed measures to address the risk. Project Team visited all the sections

mentioned in DDR and verified measures taken by contractors in compliance of ADB Safeguard

Policy Statement to avoid potential damages as given in Table-03 below

8. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

13. In compliance of ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009, the main functions of the GRM as

per DDR are:

Provide a mechanism to the local people on problems arising as a result of project

activities,

Record the grievance of the APs, categorize and prioritize the grievances that need to be

resolved, and

Report to the aggrieved parties about the developments regarding their grievances and the

decision of the project authorities.

The project management will adopt a policy of preventing grievances rather than going

through a redress process. This will be achieved through careful development of the

compensation procedure and its implementation, by ensuring full participation and

consultation with the people by maintaining effective communication and coordination

between the communities.

14. A Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)has been established under Deputy Director

(Safeguards Quality Control) of PMU, as chairman assisted by Executive Engineer, SPRIP

(Upper Division), Executive Engineer, SPRIP (Lower Division), Assistant Engineer-SPRIP,

Resettlement Specialist PMC and Environmental Specialist PMC the Social Complaint

Register (SCR) is maintained at all the six work sites.

15. Under the GRM, a Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) has been notified and established

at the project sites. The GRC’s function as open forums for hearing complaints and

exploring quick resolutions to conflicts. Thus, the main objective of the grievance redress

procedure is to avoid conflict and resolve the issues or complaints, which often delays such

infrastructure projects. It will also provide community a public forum to raise their

objections and through conflict resolution, address these issues adequately.
