(Meeting minute is attached to the Appendix 1; List of participants is attached to the

Appendix 2; and Picture of public consultation is attached to the Appendix 3 of this

report).

F. Compensation and implementation plan

19. The Subproject only acquires land managed by Yangon City Development Committee

(YCDC). On 4 September 2019, MOEE has issued an official letter to request YCDC to transfer

the land to MOEE for the construction of the New 230/66kV Kyaikkasan substation (The letter

is attached to Appendix 4 of this report).

20. The guesthouse built on this land is property of YCDC. Department of Power Transmission

and System Control (DPTSC) will not pay compensation for this land, guesthouse and trees but

they will have to pay the money for replanting trees affected by the construction work.

21. According to the regulation of Forestry Law, as the affected trees are planted on the public

land, when cutting down, compensation is not required. However, two trees will be replanted to

replace each tree that is cut down. Therefore, DPTSC will have to pay for the replantation of

affected trees at the total amount of MMK 230,000 according to forestry law will. This amount

will be transferred to YCDC.

22. The subproject is expected to commence construction in Quarter 2 of 2020 and complete

by the end of Quarter 2 of 2021. MOEE will inform subproject activities to ADB through semi-annual

monitoring reports.

G. Conclusion

23. The land plot proposed for the New 230/66kV Kyaikkasan substation is YCDC and free

from encumbrances. The guesthouse and 23 trees on the land are belonging to the YCDC.

24. The construction of New 230/66kV Kyaikkasan SS will not cause permanent and

temporary land acquisition impacts to any household. There is no private house and/or structure

affected by the subproject. There is also no household affected on their livelihoods or income

due to the subproject implementation.

25. There are one guesthouse and 23 trees affected by the subproject and a total amount of

MMK 230,000 will be paid for tree replantation and DPTSC/contractor will transfer this budget to

YCDC for replantation.

26. MOEE/DPTSC will inform subproject activities to ADB through semi-annual monitoring

Response

Community Leader

There are squatters near Yangon East District Court, so what will you do for them if the power line crosses over them?

DPTSC

The power line will be underground line so there is nothing to worry about that.

Community Leader

Will there be any safeguard if the power line will be underground line?

DPTSC

It is 230kV so it shall be done according to international standards and designed by skilled engineers.

Community Leader

When will the project be started?

DPTSC

The project has been running for 2 or 3 years starting with negotiations and waiting for permission from YCDC.

Ward Administrator

There are water distribution pipes along with the road buried in both sides, so I concern about water shortage during the project period because I believe that the pipes are within the range of project. I suggest that the project should be implemented from 2020.

DPTSC

The grooves needed for power line are small so there won’t be any problems. We will implement the grooves according to the map of water distribution pipes.

Ward Administrator

It would be better if the grooves come from Lagon Pyin.
