1. Project Background

1. The Government of Pakistan availed Project Preparatory Technical Assistant (PPTA) extended by

Asian Development Bank (ADB) for development of Renewable Energy resources in the country and

feasibility studies of Marala, Chianwali, Deg Outfall, Okara and Pakpattan Hydro Power Projects (HPPs)

were updated by the Consultants M/s ENTEC AG `in 2005, hired by ADB. Accordingly a Loan Project

Agreement was signed between Government of the Punjab and ADB vide No. 2286/87 – PAK for

construction of five (05) HPPs, feasibility studies of additional five (05) HPPs and capacity development.

2. In the year 2003, the HEPO-WAPDA carried out a first Feasibility Study of the Pakpattan Canal, at

RD 112+350, for a 3.2 MW hydropower station which was considered as a potential site for Pakpattan

Hydro Power Project (PHPP) and was reviewed under ADB TA No. 4425-PAK. At tender level design, the

capacity of PHPP has been estimated 2.82 MW.

1.1. Description of the Subproject

3. This Pakpattan Hydro Power project (PHPP) is one of the potential sites is reviewed according to

tender level design by the PPMU, Energy Department, Lahore and a Short Land Acquisition and

Resettlement Plan (LARP) was prepared.

4. The Pakpattan hydropower project with an estimated plant capacity of 2.82 MW is being

constructed as a run off the canal hydropower project at right side of RD 114+000 of Pakpattan canal. The

site is located approximately 10KM upstream from the district town of Pakpattan in Punjab province.

Access to the project area is gained from Pakpattan through a metal road.

5. A total of 59.02 Acres of irrigated farmland has been acquired permanently for the construction of

the power canal including powerhouse, headrace channel, tailrace channel, substation, offices and O&M

staff residences etc. Out of total land, 52.31 acres belongs to private land owners, 4.31 acres Evacuee

Trust Land (Auqaf Land, State Land) and 2.4 acres Irrigation Department (Government of the Punjab

Land). The total numbers of Affected Households (AHs) are twenty eight (28). Out of these AHs, one AH is

lease holder of Auqaf land and 27 are private landowners. The total population of 28 AHs is 141 persons.

The subproject also involves a total of 38 private and 62 Government trees (Forest Department). No

houses, shops and community structures exist in the land being acquired.

6. Although the LARP identified that 113 private and 62 government owned trees standing in the

acquired land and right of way of Pakpattan Canal but before announcing the award of land by the land

acquisition collector, majority of the trees from the private land had been removed and sold by the

respective land owners without consultation with the project and revenue staff. On April 30, 2012, a fresh

survey with forest department was carried out to assess the quantity of trees and its compensation as per

entitlement. This survey proves that there are only 38 trees in the entire private lands and its

compensation amounting to Rs. 55,531/- has been paid to the entitled APs. Most of trees will be saved

from cutting down.

7. The 62 government trees in the Right of Way (ROW) of Pakpattan Canal and government land

(Irrigation Department) are still alive and most of them will be saved from cutting down.

1.2. Scope of Work

8. The scope of civil works activities start from the fall structure at RD 112+350 to the fall at RD

124+950 of the Pakpattan canal. The PHPP consists of combination of two falls to utilize the head for

energy output. A power canal in by pass arrangement from RD 113+000 to 115+250at right side of

Pakpattan canal and the power house will be constructed in power canal. It includes intake section, gated

spillway, power house, and tail race section etc. The bed level and the embankment of power canal



upstream of power house will be raised according to remodel cross sections up to RD 112+350. The

power canal downstream of the power house will be excavated up to RD 124+950.

9. The proposed 2.82 MW PHPP comprises the construction of the following components:

A power canal in by pass arrangement will be constructed in from RD 113+000 to RD 115+250 at right side of Pakpattan canal.

Power House in the bed of power canal at right side of the Pakpattan Canal.

Raising of existing Pakpattan canal embankments from upstream of power house to RD112+350 according to remodeled cross sections. Similarly excavation of Pakpattan canal from downstream of powerhouse to RD 124+950 according to remodeled cross sections.

Construction of new District Road Bridges adjacent to the existing fall structures and village Road Bridges at RD 112+350 and RD 124+950of Pakpattan canal.

Gated Spillway structure with Service Bridge.

Construction of protection works for sub project area including station.

Power house buildings and ancillary structures including Machine Hall , Control Building, Intake and outlet bays with cut-offs, and retaining walls.

Paving of 0.55 KM (approx) long and 405m wide access road with double surface treatment.

Construction of Offices and O&M staff Colony.

About 14 km long 11 KV transmission line (TL) to Grid Station in the ROW of Pakpattan Canal and road.

2. Objectives of the Internal Monitoring

10. The resettlement Internal Monitoring refers to the Project Inputs, Compensations paid to the

Affectees according to their entitlements and the procedures adopted for Land Acquisition and payments

of lost assets. The monitoring is an integral part during the implementation of LARP and facilitates in

assessing the implementation progress and decision making. The overall objective of the study is to

conduct Internal Monitoring of the implementation of Short LARP and ascertain the efficiency of land

acquisition process and adequacy in compensation assessed before acquiring the land and assets,

timeliness of compensation disbursement, and efficiency of consultation and grievance redress

mechanisms under ADB’ safeguards requirements.

11. In order to achieve the objectives, the following aspects have been considered:

Monitoring the implementation status of resettlement activities including eligibility, entitlements, award of compensation, adequacy of budget and timeliness;

Monitoring of community complaints/ grievance redress methods/ system of the project;

Conduct consultations with the Affected Persons (APs), community and other stakeholders.

2.1. LARP Implementation & Monitoring Status

12. To meet the ADB safeguard requirements, a Short Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan

(LARP) was prepared by the Punjab Power Management Unit (PPMU), Energy Department, Lahore. After

review, the ADB approved this LARP on 17 October, 2011 for its implementation.

13. To confirm and validate the LARP implementation status, 1st Internal Monitoring Report was sent

to ADB in May 2012 and the 2nd monitoring report titled “Due Diligence Report” was sent to ADB on

September 04, 2012, which cover the LARP implementation period from November 2011 to September 04,

2012. This final Internal Monitoring Report has been prepared which contain that all the 28 AHs have been



fully paid for all the impacts as detailed in approved LARP.

3. Monitoring Process and Implementation Status

14. Involuntary resettlement is an integral part of the PHPP for which a Short LARP has been

prepared with appropriate time-bound actions and budgets. A total of 96.29 million rupees was estimated

as the total budget of the LARP that include payment for Land (Rs.77.47 million), compensation for crops

(Rs.4.08 million), compensation for trees (Rs.0.39million) and severity of impact allowance

(Rs.3.87million). The amount for land acquisition was transferred to Land Acquisition Collector (LAC),

Pakpattan in June 2011 by PPMU while remaining compensations other than land has been paid directly

to the APs by PPMU.

15. The LAC announced award on October 12, 2011 that was followed by payment to the APs. The

land payments were processed through payment vouchers for APs accounts by the LAC. The payment

process for land was completed by mid-November 2011. The land disbursements/compensations to the

APs are given at Annex-A.

16. The internal monitoring for Land Acquisition process, payments / compensations for land and other

assets were continued during October 2011 to June 2012 and April 2013. The findings of monitoring visits

are as under;

The Deputy Director (R&E) fully involved in the inquiry under 5-A and 9 (1) and 10 of land Acquisition Act, 1894 (LAA 1894).

Involved and facilitated the AWARD under section 11 of LAA 1894.

Supervised the whole payment / compensation process

Conduct consultation meetings with the APs at project site and assessed their satisfaction level on the payment process.

The urdu version of disclosure of LARP was delivered to each AP (total 28) on March 24, 2012.

Four of the total 28 AP had taken loan from Zarai-Taraqi-yati Bank (Agriculture Development Bank) and National Bank. The agriculture loans are provided through pledging land to the bank. The land acquisition process cannot be completed without payment of loan amount by the land owner. The LAC in consultation with the APs deducted the loan amount from land compensation amount and deposited that money to the respective loanee bank. The banks after payment of loan released land ownership documents in favour of PPMU.

Two land owners died during the process. The LAC registered inheritance decree and divided the compensation amount to the inherited shareholders.

The compensations on replacement cost for the land (Rs.72.554 million) have been paid to all the 27 AHs in November 2011. The average market rate per acre in the area was Rs. 9, 000, 000/-, while in the annual valuation table, it was Rs. 9, 72, 000/- per acre. The assessment of land made by District Price Assessment Committee was Rs. 1, 200, 000/- per acre (Annex-B). The PPMU after considering all these factors including ADB’s Replacement Cost, paid Rs. 1, 380, 000/- per acre for the land taken for the project. The final price exceeded the market rate and updated price as notified in the valuation table. It can be safely concluded that the land compensation given to the AHs, meets the requirement of replacement cost of ADB.

The crop compensations along with severity impact allowances have been paid to all the 27 AHs (Private Land Owners on June 15, 2012) while a lease holder of ETPB land was paid on April 8, 2013. The actual size of the ETPB land required for the project was 4.31 acre and the



lease holder of ETPB land has been fully compensated for this land and an amount of Rs. 373, 786/- has been paid to the AP in terms of crop compensation. He has not only been provided full compensation but also salvaged the crops; and economic benefit over and above the compensation at replacement cost. The detail of private land owner and ETPB lease holder compensations is attached at Annex-C&D.

Although the LARP identified that 113 private and 62 government owned trees standing in the acquired land and right of way of Pakpattan Canal but before announcing the award of land by the land acquisition collector, majority of the trees from the private land had removed and sold by the respective land owners without consultation with the project and revenue staff. On April 30, 2012, a fresh survey with forest department was carried out to assess the quantity of trees and its compensation as per entitlement. This survey proves that there are only 38 trees in the entire private lands and its compensation amounting to Rs. 55,531/- has been paid to the entitled APs (Annex-E).

Internal & External Monitoring Reports have been disclosed to the Energy Department, Government of the Punjab Website http://www.energy.punjab.gov.pk/downloads.html on April 26, 2013.

4. Conclusions

It concludes that on the whole, the LARP of Pakpattan HPP has been fully implemented satisfactorily and the project site is cleared for the construction activities.

Of the total AHs (28), all AHs including lease holder have been fully compensated for their lost assets and there remain no outstanding claim or any issue relating to the compensation.

A Certificate may be issued in terms of fully implementation of LARP and clearance for construction activities.
