EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Social Monitoring Report represents the status of the activities of the Land Acquisition and

Resettlement Plan (RP) of Chittagong – Cox‟s Bazar Railway Project, Phase 1 (Dohazari Cox‟s Bazar Railway Project) in Chittagong and Cox‟s Bazar District of Bangladesh. The project‟s target is to construct 101.477Km of new Single Line Dual Gauge Railway Track from Dohazari to Cox‟s Bazar via Ramu, to establish connectivity with the famous Tourist spot of Cox‟s Bazar and provide access to the proposed expected Trans-Asian Railway Corridor. The Government of the People‟s Republic of Bangladesh with the financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has launched Dohazari - Cox‟s Bazar Railway Project (DCRP).

The project requires new acquired land to construct a railway line and other structures which are shown in

the report details. The resettlement impacts include, but are not limited to (i) permanent loss of residential,

social and commercial structures, (ii) loss of income and livelihood, (iii) displacement of people and (iv)

loss of land.

The salient features of ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS 2009) and Resettlement Plan have been discussed in this report. At present, all the 10 (Ten) Land Acquisition (LA) cases are almost finalized

and the land of 6 (six) LA cases were already taken over by the Bangladesh Railway from DC‟s office. Compensation payment of CCL is going on. It is expected that land handover of the rest LA cases will be

completed soon. A Resettlement Plan (RP) was prepared in accordance with ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) and the Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance 1982 (ARIPO) of the Government of

Bangladesh (GOB), detail engineering design and Census survey. The RP was approved by the Ministry of

Railway on 17 August 2016 as per concurrence of ADB. In accordance with ADB Safeguards requirements, the government of Bangladesh agreed to implement

“The ADB safeguard Policy” for the purpose of avoiding involuntary resettlement wherever possible; to

minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; to enhance, or at least

restore the livelihoods of all displaced persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and to improve

the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups. Bangladesh Railway engaged an NGO for the Implementation of the project's Resettlement Plan.

Accordingly, the Implementing NGO (INGO) commenced their activities effective 8 February 2017. This

Social Monitoring Report covers the status of Land Acquisition and Resettlement activities from November

2017 to June 30, 2018, including an action plan to speed up the compensation payment so that the civil

works are not delayed. BR, CSC and INGO are working to address the Affected Persons (Aps).

As of June 30, 2018, BR has taken over about 396.95 acres of land out of 1367.36 acres of land from the

DC office. CCL payments were made to 436 awardees out of 3442 identified awardees. Resettlement

compensation was paid to 56 NTH EPs out of 211 EPS following the recommendation of JVC. ID Cards,

were, 7750 leaflets and 3700 booklets were distributed to 150 EPS in the project area.

J. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM (GRM):

The Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) was formed to voice and resolve all concerns linked to

the project, and ensure accountability towards affected persons. This mechanism will be readily

accessible to all project- affected persons or other concerned people. The GRM will be composed

of a series of local-level committees (at municipality or local administration level) and one project-

level committee (based in Chittagong). Cases that are not resolved at the local-level will be

escalated to the project-level committee. The contact information of the local level committee focal

person will be posted on sign boards in different relevant locations along the alignment. In the

meantime, BR established GRCs to resolve any grievance during the project intervention.

Grievance Redress Committees (GRCs) will try to resolve amicably by bringing together the

contestants. The GRCs will however not provide legal advice to the contestants. Decisions made

by using this mechanism will be binding on Bangladesh Railway. Unless the land acquisition

process is completed, grievance petitions can‟t be enumerated. Until now, no petition has been received by any of the Grievance Redress Committees. Total 32 of GRC have formed and

circulated notice mentioned in the below table -12;
