Dasu Transmission Line Project
Resettlement Action Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
The National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) of Pakistan with financial
support from the World Bank (WB) plan to undertake Dasu Hydropower Transmission
Line Project (the Project) by constructing a 250 km – 765 kV double circuit transmission
line from the proposed Dasu Hydropower Station to the proposed Islamabad West Grid
Station. Dasu Hydropower Project is already under implementation by WAPDA with the
funding assistance of World Bank and is expected to be commissioned by 2021. Dasu
Hydropower Project is the first large scale power generation project being implemented
by WAPDA in the northern region of Pakistan, on the Indus Cascade. The first Stage of
2,160 MW is expected to be online by December 2020 while full capacity of this Project
5,400 MW is expected to be completed by December 2021. Therefore, Dasu
Transmission Line Project is required to be completed 6 months before Commercial
Operation Date (COD) of first unit. The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) of Dasu
Transmission line project1 has been prepared by the National Power Transmission and
Despatch Company (NTDC), Environment and Social Impacts Cell (ESIC), WAPDA
House, Lahore through through KEPCO (Consultant) and M/s IDC (Sub-consultant of
KEPCO). RAP is the requirement of World Bank Operational Policy (OP/BP 4.12).
Project Description
The major purpose of the project is to deliver the 5,400 MW of power to be generated by
the proposed Dasu Hydropower Project to the national grid comprises one Double Circuit
Transmission Line from Dasu to Islamabad via Pattan, Thakot and Mansehra. The major
interventions in the project are construction of the towers and connecting the conductors
through the towers. The total numbers of towers are 674 Nos. in which 217 are the angle
towers and remaining 457 are the suspension towers. The average distance between
each tower (technically known as span) is about 371 m. The major components of the
project are: a) installation of transmission line from dasu to Islamabad (250 km). Out of
which, Dasu to Mansehra is around 140 km and Mansehra to Islamabad is around 110
km; b) switching station (Dasu dam and Mansehra) and c) Islamabad Grid Station. Dasu
is located in the Kohistan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. It is accessible
from Islamabad through a 350 km road through motorway and Karakoram highway.
Islamabad West Grid station is located about 30 km North West of Islamabad in
Kamalpur village in Fateh Jung tehsil, Attock district of Punjab province.
Alternatives for Minimizing the Project Impacts
The different steps were taken into account by KEPCO in consultation with the NTDC
(PMU) to minimize the social impacts of the proposed Dasu T/L project using different
alternatives: a) impact on settlements/ villages was avoided, while selecting the route
alignment for installation of transmission lines; b) efforts were made to select such an
alignment, where demolishing of private and public structures/ infrastructure could be
avoided;

Project Impacts and Surveys
The socioeconomic conditions of PAPs were derived from primary data through
conducting field survey, and supplemented through secondary data, i.e. data from
Directorate of Agriculture, Economics & Marketing, Forest Department, District
Population Census, Economic Survey of Pakistan and relevant websites. The primary
data include census survey of all affected families covering the nature and magnitude of
the impacts and impact on the livelihood of PAPs. The socioeconomic profile of the
project affected families was established based on the interviews of 257 Nos. (25%)
sample size.
The project impact was assessed based on the census of 100% affectees,
socioeconomic profile 257 nos. (25%) of 1,047 AHs of total and 146 Nos. consultations
with PAPs/ members of local community. The inventory assessment survey was
conducted from 22 July, 2016 to 31 August, 2016. Thus, the “cut-off date” was set as 22
July, 2016. This refers to the people who will settle/ started any activity after the cut-off
date will not be entitled for any compensation under this project.
Out of total 4,938 acres affected land, 2,297 acres belongs to agriculture land, 2,182
acres is barren/ hilly land, 4 acres is commercial/ residential, 71 is community land, 377
acres belongs to forest land and 8 acres is government land on which the activity of
tower spotting and stringing of transmission line will be carried out.
Total length of T/L corridor is 74,401 meters. Total number of affected household due to
stringing of transmission line is 653 PAH. Total land that will be affected due to stringing
of T/L is 1470.8 acres. Out of total 804.4 acres belongs to agriculture land, 549.1 acres is
barren/ hilly land, 1.4 acres is commercial/ residential, 33.1 is community land, 76.0
acres belongs to forest land and 6.9 acres is government land on which the activity of
stringing of T/L will be carried out.
Total 27,568 private trees were found along the 250 km route alignment of Dasu T/L,
which will need to be cut-down due to tower installation and stringing of transmission
line. Out of total affected trees 26,688 were of wood/ timber trees, while 880 were fruit
trees. Out of total 27,568 affected private trees, 11,716 trees and 15,852 trees (both
wood and fruit) will be affected due to towers installation and stringing of T/L
respectively.
Apart from the private trees number of government trees will also be affected. Out of
total 2,381 trees, 2,016 trees will be affected due to towers installation and 365 trees due
to stringing of T/L respectively.
Total 50 Nos. of building/ structure (residential/ commercial) are located within the
alignment/ route alignment of transmission line.
Total 130 vulnerable were located within the proposed route alignment of Dasu T/L. Out
of these total 130 vulnerable PAPs, 29 persons belongs to structures and 101 persons
belongs to land.
There are no indigenous people/ or group of people located in the area of this project or
its surroundings.

Dasu Transmission Line Project
Resettlement Action Plan
In the project area, about 46% of the population is women. Most of them are involved in
household activities. There would not be any impact on women related activities.
Consultations and Disclosure
A series of 146 Nos consultations (1,015 participants, consisting of 842 male and 173
female members) were carried out with the project affected persons and local community
members to share the information about the project and record their concerns/ feedback
associated with the implementation of the DTLP. In this context, the PAPs shared their
point of view regarding payment on the loss of their crops, trees and structures as well
as public utilities. A majority of the potential project affected persons/ locals had their
concerns regarding the true assessment of the losses and accordingly the
compensation. In general, local community has positive attitude towards the
implementation of this proposed project that this will help in reducing the shortage of
electricity in the country. The main concerns include the compensation of crops & trees
damages at current market rates and disbursement should be made prior to the start of
civil works; employment to the local peoples should be provided and routine working of
local women should not be hindered during the construction phase of the project. RoW
clearance for undertaking the project activities should be minimized at the best possible
extent2.
To meet the requirements of World Bank BP 17.50 Disclosure Policy/
Disclosure Handbook, the RAP in local language and in English will be sent at World
Bank INFO-Shop. The final RAP will also be disclosed at EA (NTDC) website. The
executive summary of the RAP will be translated in local language (Urdu), which is
undersatanable to all project affected persons and local community. A copy of its version
in local language will be provided to all PAPs as the disclosure is necessary for the
approval of RAP. This RAP will also be disclosed in local language to the PAPs and
some other local key persons resided in the vicinity of the project alignment, so that each
PAP could be able to understand the project activities, i.e. the project, cut-off date,
eligibility for entitlement of compensation, methods of measurement, price assessment &
valuation of losses, payment of compensation, community complaints redress system,
cost & budget and monitoring & evaluation.
Eligibility and Entitlements

Dasu Transmission Line Project
Resettlement Action Plan
Institutional arrangements for RAP Implementation
Project Management Unit (PMU), NTDC has been established in Lahore and the PMU
will responsible for the execution of Dasu Transmission line project (DTLP) including
preparation, updation and implementation of social safeguard documents including
LARF5 and RAP. The PMU will ensure the implementation of the RAP in-line with the
World Bank Operational Policies (Involuntary Resettlement, December, 2001). Capacity
building/ training workshops will be organized for the project staff/ officials involved in the
implementation of the project. The coordination involved for various institutions for the
implementation of RAP include NTDC (Executing Agency) and other line Departments,
such as Revenue, Forest, Agriculture including Horticulture wing; WAPDA, and other
concerned. The PMU (NTDC) will be responsible for the updation of this draft RAP at
final detailed design and implementation of final RAP of Dasu TL Project. At project level,
the environment & social impact cell (E&SIC) is already in place at PMU (NTDC-DTLP),
which needs to be strengthened through providing both in and outside country trainings.
A grievance mechanism will be available to allow a PAP appealing any disagreeable
decision, practice or activity arising from land or other assets compensation. PAPs will
be fully informed of their rights and of the procedures for addressing complaints whether
verbally or in writing during consultation, survey, and time of compensation.
The commencement of civil work will be subject to the satisfactory implementation of
this RAP including payment of compensation for the loss of crops, trees and structures;
as well as redress of community concerns. Based on the implementation experience of
previous projects, it is expected that the implementation of RAP of this project including
foundation, tower erection and installation of transmission line will take upto 1 year as
there is no permanent land acquisition involved.
Cost and Budget
The resettlement budget was estimated keeping in view the DTLP impacts including
crops, trees and structures as well as other assistance to the PAPs. The total amount of
RAP computed to be Rs. 3,549.90 million (US$ 33.92 M.)
Monitoring and Evaluation
RAP tasks under the Project will be subjected to both internal and external monitoring.

support from the World Bank (WB) plan to undertake Dasu Hydropower Transmission
Line Project (the Project) by constructing a 250 km – 765 kV double circuit transmission
line from the proposed Dasu Hydropower Station to the proposed Islamabad West Grid
Station. Dasu Hydropower Project is already under implementation by WAPDA with the
funding assistance of World Bank and is expected to be commissioned by 2021. Dasu
Hydropower Project is the first large scale power generation project being implemented
by WAPDA in the northern region of Pakistan, on the Indus Cascade. The first Stage of
2,160 MW is expected to be online by December 2020 while full capacity of this Project
5,400 MW is expected to be completed by December 2021. Therefore, Dasu
Transmission Line Project is required to be completed 6 months before Commercial
Operation Date (COD) of first unit.
The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) of Dasu Transmission line project6 has been
prepared by Prepared by the National Power Transmission and Despatch Company
(NTDC), Environment and Social Impacts Cell (ESIC), WAPDA House, Lahore through
through KEPCO (Consultant) and M/s IDC (Sub-consultant of KEPCO).
RAP is the requirement of World Bank Operational Policy (OP/BP 4.12).

discussed as under:
I.
Route Alignment
The length of first segment of Transmission Line, identified from Dasu to Mansehra is
around 140 km, whereas the second segment from Mansehra to Islamabad is around
110 km. Single Line Diagram (SLD) for the Transmission Line from Dasu to Islamabad is
shown in Figure 1(Annex-1.1).
Figure 1.1: Single Line Diagram (SLD) for Transmission Line from Dasu to Islamabad
The proposed transmission line consisting of about 674 towers with an average size of
tower footing is 25 m of length and 25 m of width. The average height of each tower will
be about 83 m. The right of way of the transmission line is 80 m.
II.
Width of RoW
In consultation with the PMU (NTDC), E&SIC and KEPCO, the width of RoW and tower
spotting was consided. The footprint (footing) of the towers varies by the size of the
tower type. The minimum size of tower footing is 18 m length and 18 m width and the
maximum size of footing is 25 m length and 25 m width (i.e. 25m x 25m). The average
height of the tower is 83 m and the right of way (RoW) of the transmission line is 80 m.
The height of the transmission line tower varies from 77 m to 107 m. The height to the
conductor from the ground level varies from 40 to 70 m.
III.
Location of the Project
Dasu is located in the Kohistan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. It is
accessible from Islamabad through a 350 km road through motorway and Karakoram

highway. Islamabad West Grid station is located about 30 km North West of Islamabad
in Kamalpur village in Fateh Jung tehsil, Attock district of Punjab province.
The transmission line passes through districts Upper Kohistan, Lower Kohistan, Shangla,
Bhattagram, Mansehra, Abbottabad and Haripur districts of KP province and Attock and
Rawalpindi district of Punjab province. Physiography, the transmission line location of
the line can be divided in to three sections (i) Dasu to Besham, (ii) Besham to Mansehra
and (iii) Mansehra to the Islamabad grid Station.
The brief description route in each of this section is given below



Dasu – Besham: The transmission line in Dasu to Besham section mainly
through the Indus valley along the Indus River and Karakoram Highway. The
area consists of very high elevation and steep mountains, and passes through
less populated areas.
Besham – Mansehra: Besham to Mansehra consists of high elevation but less
steep mountains in comparison to Dasu to Besham. The highest elevation of the
Dasu to Islamabad line route is present in this section. The presence of densely
and scattered population areas create obstacle for transmission line routing. Also,
the agricultural land and forest trees are present in this line route.
Mansehra – Islamabad: This area consists of low elevation mountains and plain
areas. But, the main difficulty is to avoid the very densely population as well as
scattered population areas.
The location map of the proposed project Dasu T/L is illustrated in Figure 1.2.

Alternatives for Minimizing the Project Impacts
The following steps were taken into account by KEPCO in consultation with the NTDC
(PMU) to minimize the social impacts of the proposed Dasu T/L project using different
alternatives:
-
Impact on settlements/ villages was avoided, while selecting the route
alignment for installation of transmission lines;
-
Efforts were made to select such an alignment, where demolishing of private
and public structures/ infrastructure could be avoided;
In this way, the best suitable route alignment of Dasu transmission line with minimum
impacts was selected;

PROJECT IMPACT
The assessment of project impacts is discussed in this section of RAP. This section
subdivided into; i) impact survey and cut-off date, scope of land acquisition and
resettlement, number and type of project affected persons including indigenous peopse,
gender (number of men and women affected).
3.1
Impact Survey and Cut-off-date
The project impact was assessed based on the census of 100% affectees,
socioeconomic profile 257 nos. (25%) of 1047 AHs of total and 146 Nos. consultations
with PAPs/ members of local community. The inventory assessment survey was
conducted from 22 July, 2016 to 31 August, 2016. Thus, the “cut-off date” was set as 22
July, 2016. This refers to the people who will settle/ started any activity after the cut-off
date will not be entitled for any compensation under this project.
3.2
Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement
The proposed project of Dasu T/L includes, i) installation of towers and transmission line.
Out of total 4,938 acres affected land, 2,297 acres belongs to agriculture land, 2,182
acres is barren/ hilly land, 4 acres is commercial/ residential, 71 is community land, 377
acres belongs to forest land and 8 acres is government land on which the activity of
tower spotting and stringing of transmission line will be carried out. Details are given in

Resettlement Action Plan
POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK
This Chapter summarizes relevant Government legislation and World Bank/ IFIs’ social
safeguard policies and directives.
4.1
Social Policy Framework
Social safeguard policies, local and Pakistan’s laws/ and legislation are summarized in
Table 4.1.
Table 4.1: National Policies relevant to the Project
Brief Description
Relevance to Dasu
T/L Project
Objectives of the National Water Policy (NWP) include,
amongst
others,
efficient
management
and
conservation of existing water resources, optimal
development of potential water resources and
improved flood control and protective measures.
As the alignment passes
through water bodies, the
mitigation
measures
proposed
may
be
consistent with the NWP.
Forest
The National Forest Policy (NFP) establishes the
policy framework for the restoration, development,
conservation and sustainable management of forests
and allied natural resources. It seeks to ensure the
sustainability of ecosystem functions, services and
benefits for present and future generations.
NFP may be applied
relating to the project
impact on forest-trees.
Draft National
Resettlement Policy,
2002 (Un-approved)
Resettlement and compensation rights of people
affected by development projects are presently
covered in accordance with the Pakistan Land
Acquisition Act (LAA) 1894. The draft NRP was
developed to update Pakistan’s policy on resettlement
and compensation and bring it in-line with IFIs’. The
aims of the draft NRP include:
Relevant Policy
National Water
Policy 2002
National
Policy 2010




4.2
4.2.1
Draft NRP is not approved
so far. However, NRP may
be consulted to get some
understanding
and
guidance, while the World
Bank OPs will be fully
complied-with.
To ensure project affected persons (PAPs) are
appropriately compensated for lost assets and
income
To provide development opportunities to all
vulnerable groups
To ensure that PAPs share the social and
economic benefits of projects.
The NRP will need to be supplemented by the
Project Implementation and Resettlement of PAPs
Ordinance (PIRAPO), which is to be enacted by
provincial and local governments. However, the
draft NRP specifies that the PIRAPO shall be
supplementary to rather than a replacement for,
the LAA 1894 and other established laws relevant
to land acquisition and resettlement.
Legislation on Land Acquisition
Constitution
The constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan 1973 (as modified up to the February
2012) supports the “promotion of social justice and eradication of social evils” (paragraph
21
Dasu Transmission Line Project
Resettlement Action Plan
37) and requires that the state makes “provision for securing just and humane conditions
of work, ensuring that children’s and women are not employed in vocations unsuited to
their age or sex, and for maternity benefits for women in employment” (Paragraph 37 (e).
4.2.2
National Hydropower Program
WAPDA is mandated to coordinate and give a unified direction to the development of
schemes in Water and Power sectors. The primary development role of WAPDA is now
focusing on hydropower development and water sector projects to support the national
economy and poverty alleviation. The National Hydropower Program has been
developed to deliver this aim.
Vision 2025
WADPA’s Vision 2025 program promises to develop 65 million acre feet (MAF) of
additional water storage capacity in the Indus Basin and add at least 37,770 megawatts
(MW) of hydropower generation capacity to the national grid by 2025. A major challenge
to realizing Vision 2025 is how to develop a hydropower program of this magnitude,
while meeting growing expectations from donors’ to incorporate sustainability of the
projects and maintain a broad spectrum of social values.
4.2.3
Land Acquisition Act 1894
The Land Acquisition Act 1894 provides for the acquisition of private properties for public
purposes including development projects in Pakistan. The Act comprises 55 sections
dealing with area notifications, survey, acquisition, compensation, apportionment
awards, disputes resolutions, penalties and exemptions. The acquisition of land for any
component of the DTLP will be made in accordance with the LAA 1894. The main
relevant sections of the LAA are summarized in Table 4.2.

Resettlement Action Plan
The LAC has then to direct that the land acquired to be physically marked out,
measured and planned.
The LAC gives notice to all PAPs that the Government intends to take possession of
the land and if they have any claims for compensation then these claims are to be
made to him at an appointed time.
Delegates power to the LAC to record statements of the PAPs in the area of land to
be acquired or any part thereof as co-proprietor, sub-proprietor, mortgage, and
tenant or otherwise.
Enables the Collector to make enquiries into the measurements, value and claim
and then to issue the final “award”. The award includes the land’s marked area and
the valuation of compensation.
Enables the Collector to acquire land through private negotiations upon request of
Head of the acquiring department. Upon receipt of any such request the collector is
empowered to constitute/notify a committee for assessment of market value of land
and verification of title of ownership. On agreement by Head of Acquiring
Department, with negotiated market value determined by the committee, the
collector shall then direct parties to execute sale deed in favor of acquiring
department on stamp paper.
Provides time limit of six months to complete land acquisition process from the date
of notification under Section-4.
When the LAC has made an award under Section 11, he will then take possession
and the land shall thereupon vest absolutely in the Government, free from all
encumbrances.
In case of dissatisfaction with the award, PAPs may request the LAC to refer the
case onward to the court for a decision. This does not affect the Government taking
possession of land.
The award of compensation to the title holders for acquired land is determined at i)
its market value of land, ii) loss of standing crops, trees and structures, iii) any
damage sustained at the time of possession, iv) injurious affect to other property
(moveable or immoveable) or his earnings, v) expanses incidental to compelled
relocation of the residence or business and vi) diminution of the profits between the
time of publication of Section 6 and the time of taking possession plus 15% premium
in view of the compulsory nature of the acquisition for public purposes.
Relates to the determination of compensation values and interest premium for land
acquisition.
Section 31 provides that the LAC can, instead of awarding cash compensation in
respect of any land, make any arrangement with a person having an interest in such
land, including the grant of other lands in exchange.
If within a period of one year from the date of publication of declaration under
section 6 in respect of any land, the Collector has not made an award under section
11 in respect to such land, the owner of the land shall, unless he has been to a
material extent responsible for the delay be entitled to receive compensation for the
damage suffered by him in consequence of the delay.
Telegraph Act, 1885
The Telegraph Act (1885) was enacted to define the authority and responsibility of the
Telegraph Authority. The law covers, among other activities, installation and
maintenance of telegraph lines and posts (poles). The Act defines the mechanism to
determine and make payment of compensation associated with the installation of these
lines and posts. Under this Act, the land required for the poles is not acquired (or
purchased) from the owner, nor the title of the land transferred. Compensation is paid to
the owner for any structure, crop or tree that exists on the land; cost of the land is not
paid to the owner. WAPDA has been installing the transmission lines and their towers,
and determining the associated compensation, on the basis of this Act. For the proposed
project as well, NTDC will use this Act. However, the land under the towers will be
acquired if there is loss of access, and productive use of the land by the landowners/
affectees is impacted.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework
Based on the existing legislations, the NTDC has prepared a Land Acquisition and
Resettlement Framework (LARF) for its projects supported by international financing
institutions (IFIs’) including World Bank. The LARF was prepared by NTDC in February
2013 and was endorsed to World Bank. The purpose of this LARF was to screen, plan
and define management procedures for Resettlement Action Pan (RAP) tasks for all
projects or Programs and their subprojects. These procedures are to be in-conformity to
the IFIs’ Resettlement Policies. The LARF also conforms to the IFIs’ policies regulating
the procedures and conditions, as well as the applicable laws and regulations of
Pakistan and relevant Provincial laws and rules.
Before the loan negotiations for any project, the resttlement policy framework (RPF) will
be distributed to concerned provincial government departments, and made available to
every project affected person. In addition, the RPF will be translated in provincial/ local
languages-the language the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) can easily read, and
disclosed and posted at NTDC and IFIs’ websites.
4.2.10 Administrative Framework
I.
Classification of Project
Considering the scope of work and potential impacts associated with the proposed
project, the type and magnitude of DTLP impacts, a resettlement policy framework (RPF)
and resettlement action plan11 (RAP) is required to address the World Bank safeguard
requirements.
II.
Legislation Relevant to Land Classification
Identifying the type of land affected will be an important step in determining eligibility for
compensation for land. Jurisdiction rather than use classifies land. Rural land includes
irrigated land and un-irrigated land and is governed by the Land Revenue Act (1967)
which must be read in conjunction with other legislation that may also apply, including for
example the Punjab Alienation of Land Act (1900), Colonization of Government Lands
Act (1912) and various Land Reform Regulations. Rural land falls under the jurisdiction
of revenue districts.
Land, other than rural land, is urban and including all permutations there-under such as
residential, commercial, built upon and build-able, and is governed by various regulations
and ordinances including the People’s Local Government Ordinance (1972) for each
province, Cantonments Act (1924), and Land Control Act (1952). Urban land falls under
the jurisdiction of municipal and local government authorities.

In case of minor social impacts, abbreviated RAP, while in case of major impact, full RAP is required.

Resettlement Action Plan
Concerns/ Feedback about the DTLP
During the field survey, people were asked about their views regarding the proposed
project. In general, local community has positive attitude towards the implementation of
this proposed project that this will help in reducing the shortage of electricity in the
country.
Consultations with PAPs
Consultation is a continuous process that started at the project preparatory stage and will
continue till project completion. Based on the consultations with the project affected
persons and general public, a number of concerns were highlighted and accordingly
some feedback was also provided. The main concerns include the compensation of
crops & trees damages at current market rates and disbursement should be made prior
to the start of civil works; employment to the local peoples should be provided and
routine working of local women should not be hindered during the construction phase of
the project. RoW clearance for undertaking the project activities should be minimized at
the best possible extent16.
The following are the major concerns/ issues and feedback of the PAPs/ local community
and general public of the area:
5.5.2
Stakeholders’ Concerns
The general concerns raised and suggestions documented during the meetings are
listed below:
 Relocation of settlements should be minimized by changing the design, where
possible.
 This subproject is necessary under the current local conditions;
 Compensation should be fair and should be delivered before start of work;
 Local skilled and unskilled labor should be used wherever possible;
 Damaged lands should be rehabilitated after the construction work is completed;
 Local norms should be honored; and construction work should be completed in
time.
 Compensation for the affected cropped area, houses and other private assets
should be in accordance with current market rates/ replacement cost.
 Compensation for affected trees should also be in accordance with the market
rates and the local community should be allowed to collect the wood material
from the removed trees.
 Payment of compensation for project affected person especially vulnerable PAPs
should be ensured.
 Transport for relocation of assets and timely compensation to all the affectees
must be ensured.
 Avoid the impact on structures such as housing societies, orchards/ forest and
16
At few points diversion were demanded by local communities to avoid the impact on structures such as housing
societies, orchards/ forest and villages (residential houses).
36
Dasu Transmission Line Project
Resettlement Action Plan
villages (residential houses).
 In addition to compensation the livelihood assistance to the PAPs should also be
provided.
 Compensation against all the losses should be provided prior to start the civil
work so that the impact on the livelihood of the PAPs could be minimized.
 At least one third of the local community especially PAPs should be engaged in
the project related jobs.
 Resettlement issues should be discussed in the presence of whole local
community/ local population
 If it is possible, divert transmission line route away from village, as it causes
many problems for community especially for females.
 When construction will start; economic activities will be improved in the area.
 If we will be facilitated we will cooperate as much as possible.
 For construction phase, transportation of heavy machinery to required location is
difficult task
 Temporary land acquisition will be involved for the consutruction of camp.
 Policy framework should be made and ensured to project affectees for
resettlement and compensation.
 Development activities are welcomed by the natives
 Villages situated near transmission line should be facilitated by providing the
electricity facility should be provided to locals as well.
 Authorities should avoid destruction of houses and other private property.
 No objection on project implementation
 Land owners will allow to install spotting tower and stringing transmission line if
compensation of affected crop given to them.
 The affected crops, trees and damages compensation should be properly
compensated, then local would not have any objections.
 Government should approach stakeholders and the project affected persons and
compensate them for the loss of their assets.
 Male members should be employed in the project related jobs so that they could
get the jobs in their own city/village instead of moving towards other cities for
jobs. In this way their social safety could be enhanced.
 Involvement of women in the routine activities/jobs should not be affected due to
the implementation of the project.
 It would have a positive impact on the life style but may bring about a change in
the conservative culture of women.
5.7
Addressal Public Concerns
The concerns raised by the PAPs and local community as well as general public relevant
to the project have been taken care of and the possible solutions were also documents
considering the opinion/ feedback of the people. The project may include the following
considerations pointed out by the PAPs/ and other stakeholders:
 The project route should not affect any religious and cultural site. During detailed
design, special care will be taken about this aspect;
 No group of people/ settlement should be affected by the project route. However,
the project activities may have an affect where, unavoidable scattered houses,
poultery farm etc. are present (if any). In such cases, all losses will be
compensated properly.
 The route alignment should be selected in a way that number of trees should be
cut-down.
37
Dasu Transmission Line Project
Resettlement Action Plan
 Forest should be affected by the project route, as where such a situation arises,
alignment should be changed.
 Fair, prompt and negotiated amount (current market rates) of compensation
should be paid to the affectees for the loss of their crops and trees;
 The compensation for infrastructure should also include the loss of equipment
and machinery;
 The compensation should be paid prior to the occupation of land for construction
activities;
Furthermore, the following other measures should need to be carried out in order to
protect the surrounding communities from the expected impacts of construction:
 Project facilities should be located at a minimum distance of 500 m on each side
from the existing settlements and build-up areas to avoid disturbance to local
community (women and children)
 Sensitivity towards the local customs and traditions should be encouraged to
minimize social function; good relation with the local communities will be
promoted by encouraging contractors to provide opportunities for skilled and unskilled employment to locals, as well as on-the-job training in construction for
young people;
 The contractor should ensure that the construction work does not hinder the local
people or their animal’s mobility etc in the area;
 Contractor should remain confined within the specified limits and will not park the
machinery and material except at the demarcated sites;
 Contractor should ensure the safety of the community as well as workers, under
social impacts and their mitigation measures;
 To ensure the address of the community complaints / concerns related to the
project a community complaints register should be maintained by the contractor
and should be regularly monitored by Environmental Cell and auditing Agency;
Redress of Farmers Issues
Compensation for the loss of crops and trees will be estimated by the concerned
department keeping in view the current market rates and payment will be made prior to
start of civil works; one-third of unskilled labor will be engaged from local community
especially PAPs and timing of project work will be adjusted with respect to the peak
working hours of local women.
The redressal of PAPs/ local community concerns is presented in Table 5.3.

executive summary of the RAP will be translated in local language (Urdu), which is
undersatanable to all project affected persons and local community. A copy of its version
in local language will be provided to all PAPs as the disclosure is necessary for the
approval of RAP. This RAP will also be disclosed in local language to the PAPs and
some other local key persons resided in the vicinity of the project alignment, so that each
PAP could be able to understand the project activities, i.e. the project, cut-off date,
eligibility for entitlement of compensation, methods of measurement, price assessment &
valuation of losses, payment of compensation, community complaints redress system,
cost & budget and monitoring & evaluation.
The Project office/ and SSIC will keep the PAPs informed about the impacts and
entitlement of compensation and facilitate in addressing grievance (s) of the PAPs as
well as local community members. Finally, there will be on-site community/ PAPs
gathering to monitor the entitled disbursement of the compensation to the PAPs.

In accordance with the World Bank Operational Policy 2001 and LARF, the
compensation eligibility will be limited by a ‘cut-off date’ for the proposed project on the
day of the start of the “census” survey for the impact assessment in order to avoid an
influx of outsiders. The cut-off date18 will be announced through the mass media (like
17
Resettlement assistance may consist of land, other assets, cash, employment, and so on, as appropriate.
Normally, this cut-off date is the date the census begins. The cut-off date could also be the date the project area was
delineated, prior to the census, provided that there has been an effective public dissemination of information on the area
delineated, and systematic and continuous dissemination subsequent to the delineation to prevent further population influx.

RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING
The RAP preparation and implementation costs, including cost of compensation and
administration, will be considered an integral part of project cost. This RAP will include a
budget section including; i) methodology followed for the computation of unit
compensation rates; ii) unit compensation rates for all affected items and allowances; iii)
a table showing resettlement budget including administrative costs and contingencies.

Source of Financing
Finances for compensation, allowances, and administration of RAP preparation and
implementation will be ensured by the Government. The costs for conducting
independent monitoring and engagement of social safeguard implementation consultant
(SSIC) are included in the budget. In order to ensure that sufficient funds are available
for RAP implementation, the GOP will have to allocate 100% of the cost of compensation
at replacement cost and expected allowances estimated in RAP plus 5% of
contingencies before RAP implementation.
The PMU (DTLP-NTDC) is responsible for the timely allocation of the funds needed for
the implementation of RAP.
As per the flow of RAP finances, the budget for crop compensation will be disbursed by
the PMU to the District Collector Office which in turn, through the LAC will disburse the
compensation to the PAPs/ or concerned department/ agency. In case of compensation

MONITORING AND EVALUATION
10.1
General
Resettlement Action Plan
RAP tasks under the Project will be subjected to both internal and external monitoring.
Internal monitoring will be conducted by the PMU - DTLP (E&SIC). External monitoring
will be assigned to an Independent Monitoring Consultant (IMC) to be hired by PMU, and
approved by World Bank. The IMC will be selected among local consultants/ consulting
firms.
World Bank will prepare the terms of reference (TOR) for the IMC before to start the RAP
implementation.
10.2
Internal Monitoring
Internal monitoring will be carried out by the PMU through E&SIC assisted by the Social
Safeguard Implementation Consultant (SSIC). The results will presented in the quarterly
project implementation reports and submitted to World Bank.
The internal monitoring reports include the ‘input/ process’ and ‘output’ indicators. This
information will be collected directly from the field and reported monthly by PIU to the
PMU-DTLP in order to assess the progress and results of RAP implementation, and to
prepare revised work plan/ activities in accordance with the RAP requirements as well as
implementation schedule.
The following will be the specific aspects to be covered under the internal monitoring
report.
a) Consultation with PAPs and information disclosure;
b) Disbursement of compensation for the affected items – land, structures, crops,
tree and other assets;
c) Relocation of community structures/ public utilities ;
d) Payments for loss of income;
e) Income restoration activities;
f) Status of grievance redressal;
The above information will be complied by the E&SIC (PMU-DTLP) with the assistance
of SSIC team including RS, GRS, GS, M&E/ MIS and Social mobilizers.
10.3
External Monitoring
External monitoring will be carried out by the Independent Monitoring Consultant/ agency
to be hired by the PMU (DTLP) among the local consultants/ consulting firms.
The external monitoring activities will have short and medium term tasks. The short term
tasks will occur in parallel and immediately after the delivery of RAP compensation. A
report will be prepared as a validation report for the implementation of RAP as a
requirement for the commencement of civil work.
The medium term task will include the monitoring of the effectiveness of the
compensation package.
59
Dasu Transmission Line Project
Resettlement Action Plan
As the number of impacts are limited, so that the independent monitoring report at the
initial stage of the RAP implementation and on its completion will be prepared in addition
to the periodic reports.
The proposed indicators for independent monitoring tasks include:
a) Review and validate the internal monitoring reports prepared by PMU (E&SIC,
DTLP);
b) Status of RAP implementation including payment of compensation to the PAPs
c) Review the status of relocation of community structure/ public utilities;
d) Status of redressal of community complaints and time spent to resolve the
community grievances
e) Carry out the consultations with PAPs, officials of project management and other
concerned departments to share the feedback/ lessons learnt;
f) Identify gaps regarding RAP implementation and suggest remedial measures;
and also develop an action plan along with the timelines and responsibities.
g) Assess the RAP implementation efficiency, effectiveness, impact and its
sustainability.
The IMC will also assess the status of project affected vulnerable groups such as
female-headed households, disabled/elderly and families below the poverty line.
