EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. This external monitoring report prepared based on field survey carried out from 12 - 15 June, 2013. The report reflects the implementation status of sectional Resettlement Plans (I - IV) till the period upto 15th June, 2013 and the actions agreed by NHA to complete the process of payments of all four sections. Summary of major findings of implementation status of Sectional LARPs as discussed in subsequent sections, reveals that over and above 97% of AFs are paid with no critical outstanding issues at the part of EA. Hence concluding that the LARP implementation is almost completed, it is the final External Monitoring Report for Sukkur-Jacobaabad (N-65) sub-project. Below is the implementation status of LARP in each section:
Section 1 2. In LARP Section-1, out of total 300 AFs, 295 AFs (98.3%) are paid. The left over 5 AFs include 1 court case, 1 business renter and 3 AFs in employee category who left the project corridor with unknown whereabouts. The NHA is following up the court case for its early adjudication and confirmed that the court’s decision will be implemented in letter and spirit. For the APs who left project corridor with unknown whereabouts, NHA has placed their entitled compensation in the project account and publically informed through newspapers (daily Kawish and daily Jang) the APs to come up and collect their compensation. NHA did all efforts (still continued) to disburse 100% compensation, but the leftover payments to 1.7% (5 AFs) AFs are beyond NHA’s control. However NHA is committed to make payment to remaining APs as and when the court decide the issue or the APs with their whereabouts unknown approaches the NHA and submit their claims for payment. Conclusion 3. Based on progress achieved above 98.3%, it is concluded that the Resettlement Plan of Section 1 has been implemented and the RoW has already been cleared for construction work in the Second EMA report (March, 2012). Section 2 (Including Bypass): 4. The LARP Section 2 includes 15.7 Km carriage way section (RD 17+500 to 26+100 and 31+050 to 33+250) and 4.95 Km Bypass Section (RD 17+500 to 31+050) with total 85 AFs (7 in carriage way section and 78 in by-pass section). The compensation payment progress reflects that out of total 85 AFs, 84 AFs have been paid while 1 AF in land owner category (Bypass section) left unpaid because he has filed reference in the court for enhancement of compensation. NHA confirmed that the land cost is already deposited in the treasury and the court’s decision will be binding to make payment of compensation accordingly. NHA maintained a close liaison between the land owner (AF) and the local revenue authorities to ensure timely disbursement of compensation as court decides. While as a last resort, the District Revenue Officer has already informed to all unpaid AFs publically (the daily Kawish and Jang newspapers) to come-up, submit their claims and collect their entitled compensation without delay. Conclusion 5. The overall progress reflected that only 1 AF is left unpaid due to court case which is beyond NHA’s preview. Hence it is concluded that with 99% implementation progress, the LARP for Section 2 is effectively implemented and the whole length of Section 2 including existing carriage way and Bypass sections has already been cleared for commencement of construction works as per findings of 2nd and 3rd External Monitoring Reports respectively.

Section 3 6. In Section 3, out of the total length of 20.2 km, 13.4 km with zero LAR impacts area was cleared for construction following recommendations in Second EMA report (March, 2012). While, the remaining 6.5 km area having LAR impacts was withheld till the RP has been implemented successfully in different stretches of varying lengths and the RP implementation status is confirmed through the External Monitoring Agency (EMA). In the LARP Section 3 the resettlement impacts are mainly due to clearance of encroached RoW near settlements and total 241 AFs lost their assets and sources of livelihood. Update payment progress reflects that 228 AFs have been paid their full compensation.
7. Out of remaining unpaid 13 AFs; structures of 2 AFs are excluded from inventory list; 2 AFs have incomplete documents (CNIC/ Bank Account issues); 4 AFs (i.e. one owner of abandoned industrial structure constructed in encroached RoW, one owner of POL logo, and two employees categories) declines to receive their compensation; 2 AFs under process and 3 AFs left the project area without their whereabouts known.
8. The review of the record and consultation with the AFs reflects that NHA did its best efforts to convince the unpaid APs to come-up and collect their compensation. The notices are also issued to the AFs for receiving compensation amount and vacation of RoW. As a last resort, the APs are also informed through local and national print media (i.e. the daily Kawish and the daily Jang Newspapers) to show-up and collect their entitled compensation form the project office.
Conclusion 9. The above progress reflects that except for an abandoned industrial structure of one AF (local politician/land lord)1 on encroached RoW, all the issues are resolved satisfactorily and the LARP implementation is almost completed. Now the outstanding payments of 11 APs (structure owner AP included) are beyond NHA’s control, however NHA is still making its efforts to make disbursement of compensation to remaining payable AFs whenever they are ready to get compensation. Thus, now the withheld 6.5 Km LAR section is available for construction as free from all encumbrances (Annex A). Section 4 10. In Section 4, out of the total 73 AFs, 72 AFs have been paid, while remaining 1 AF is unpaid due to lack of CNIC/ Underage. In Section 4, of the total length (14.9 km), 13.5 km of zero LAR impacts section had already been cleared in Second EMA report (March, 2012). In remaining 1.4 km with LAR impact stretches, full implementation of LARP was confirmed and validated vide Third EMA Report (September, 2013), and the RoW was cleared as free of all encumbrances for construction.
Overall Implantation Status
11. The implementation of LARP in all four sections is completed with only few (18) unpaid AFs left out of total 696 AFs2 (699 as per LARP) in all four sections. Out of these 18 unpaid AFs, two AFs are in structure owner category one each in section 1 and 3, 1 landowner category, 1 in business renter category and 14 fall in employee category. The NHA did its best efforts to ensure disbursement of compensation to all unpaid AFs, however, the payments could not be made being out of NHA’s preview. Table A below
1 Squatters occupying public safety zones can be provided with housing, land, or income-earning opportunities elsewhere.
Since the rationale is to protect vulnerable groups, the project would not compensate landlords building structures illegally in public safety zones. (Resettlement Handbook, Guideline to Good Practices, 1998).} 2 3 AFs (2 structures owners and 1 rentee in Section 3) are excluded from inventory list and making a total 696 AFs instead of
699 AFs as per RP.

RP is fully implemented and entire road length in this section cleared for construction work since third EMA report (September, 2012).
11. It is worth noting that on the whole, over 97% AFs have been paid their
compensation and other resettlement entitlements as per approved sectional
resettlement plans. Most of the affected business structures3 have been re-constructed/
re-established outside RoW by the affected structure owners and have been rented out
to the AFs from business renter category. Similarly, the affected residences of twelve
affected households (squatters)4 in Bypass Section 2, have be reconstructed at about a
distance of 500 m from affected site on the other side of the existing Sukkur-Jacobabad
road on the pieces of land purchased5 by the AFs in their names. The replaced
structures are constructed with better construction material and in general, it can be
safely concluded that the APs seem better-off in their business and employment as well
as re-establishment of their residential structures as compared to their pre-project
conditions. In addition, the compensation for loss of community structures (mosques,
schools) was paid to the Mosques committees for relocation of these structures out of
the construction limit at their own. The respective mosque committees have either re-
constructed the mosques at nearby places in consultation with the local community or
the construction of replacement community structure is at an advance stage.
12. Although the achieved Implementation progress is above 97% with only such leftover AFs/ APs, who either had filed court cases or not shown up to collect their compensation due to their own reasons. However for remaining 17 AFs, it is suggested that the NHA project team should keep their efforts continued to facilitate these AFs to collect their compensation as and when they become available and submit their claims. Thus, keeping in view the disbursement of payment to the leftover APs, the following section-wise action plan is proposed:
3 Of the total business structures (204), only 3 left unpaid, i.e.1 Court case, 2 AFs (1 local politician and 1
businessman Karachi based) declined to receive their payment. 4 The affected residential structures were constructed on the land acquired for By Pass. The land was not in the
name of the structure owners, they were verbally permitted by the land owner to construct their structures and work as farm labour on his land. With land acquisition for the bypass, the APs were left land less and were compensated for their structures only with additional assistance (equivalent to three months earning based on OPL) to facilitate them to relocate at their own in nearby area. 5 A copy of an affidavit of AFs who have purchased land is provided at Annex F as an evidence.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
1. This is the final external monitoring report prepared on the basis of field visit carried out from 12 - 15 June, 2013. Based on this survey, the results of 3rd External Monitoring report (September, 2012) was updated as of 15th June, 2013. The report reflects the implementation of RPs of all four Sections (I – IV) of Sukkur – Jacobabad road (N-65).
2. The Sukkur-Jacobabad road is one of the subprojects6 of this tranche 2 (ADB Loan 2540). The Resettlement Plan (RP) for Sukkur – Jacobabad was approved by ADB in May 2009. However, its implementation was delayed due to various reasons including discrepancies in the inventory of losses and number of affected persons. Later-on it was agreed that i) 4 Sectional Resettlement Plans will be prepared, approved and implemented to facilitate commencement of civil works. ii) For each section, prior approval of ADB Safeguard Unit will be required to commence civil works upon full implementation of Resettlement Plan verified through External Monitoring Agency (EMA).
3. In this context, NHA divided the project corridor in four sections and accordingly updated the RP in following different sections:
Section-1: RD 0+000 to RD 17+500 km (Zero to end of Lakki Town).
Section-2: RD 17+500 to 33+250 km (End of Lakki Town to end of Shikarpur
Bypass).
Section-3: RD 33+250 to 53+450 km (End of Shikarpur Bypass to end of Humayun
Town).
Section-4: RD 53+450 to 68+358 km (End of Humayun town to start of Jacobabad).
4. The proposed project road falls under the administrative jurisdiction of three Districts of Sindh province, i.e. Sukkur, Shikarpur and Jacobabad. The location map and layout plan of the project is given in Figure 1.1 and 1.2 respectively.
5. After review the ADB approved sectional RPs by close of year 2011 and NHA started the implementation of Sectional RPs in the field as per implementation schedule for each sectional RP. To confirm and validate the implementation status of the Sectional RPs, the external monitoring has been conducted in compliance to ADB safeguard requirements. The section-wise implementation status of the approved RPs is discussed in subsequent
sections. The Sukkur-Jacobabad road (N-65) is one of the subprojects of under Tranche 2.
6 This tranche includes, i) Sukkur – Jacobabad road (Sindh), and ii) Qilla Saifullah – Zhob road (Balochistan). .
The scope of sub project includes rehabilitation & up-grading the capacity of existing road section to 4- lane dual carriageway. The proposed project road falls under the administrative jurisdiction of Sukkur, Jacobabad and Shikarpur Districts of Sindh Province.

1.2 Objectives of the External Monitoring
6. The monitoring is an integral part during the implementation of resettlement plan and facilitates to assess the implementation progress and decision making. Specifically, confirmation of full implementation of RPs through an independent external monitor before commencement of civil works is pre-requisite under ADB’ safeguards requirements. Keeping this in view the implementation progress of the approved sectional RPs is monitored to determine the updated progress on implementation status and validate the sections free of encumbrances to facilitate in decision making to allow the commencement of civil works. Furthermore, suggest remedial measures and corrective action plan regarding the payment to leftover APs to achieve full implementation of resettlement initiatives.

2. METHODOLOGY
2.1 General
7. The approach and methodology part of the study covered the activities done for information gathering, data collection and analysis as well as consultation with stakeholders including APs to determine implementation status of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan. The major activities carried out to accomplish the report are: i) data collection – both primary and secondary; ii) interviews of APs; iii) consultations with APs and other local people; iv) consultative meeting with the project management, consultants and contractor; v) field survey – including interviews, physical observations/ verifications and data inputting and analysis.
2.2 Review of the Project Documents
8. The project documents, including resettlement framework, resettlement plan of Section 1, 2, 3 and 4; internal monitoring reports, status of LAR implementation, Aide Memoires and other were reviewed and relevant data was compiled to establish the monitoring objectives and validated through conducting field surveys.
2.3 Consultative Meetings
9. The consultative meetings were carried out with APs and other local people/ local
community/ representatives. In addition, the consultative meetings were also held with the
Project Director, Consultant staff and Contractor staff. In these meetings, AP’s concerns/
feedback about implementation of resettlement plan as well as actions taken by NHA
regarding the payment of unpaid APs were discussed and accordingly presented in this
report.
2.4 Data Collection and Analysis
10. Both primary and secondary data was collected about the efforts made by NHA to approach the unpaid APs for resolving their concerns and disburse compensation as well as notices issued to APs and published in the Newspapers for ensuring full implementation of LARP. The primary data includes interviews with APs, and group consultations, consultative meetings with the project management and physical observations/ verifications. The field survey was carried out from 12-15 June, 2013 covered the status of payment of compensation as of 15th June, 2013. However, some supplementary data/ supporting documents including copies of internal monitoring reports, meeting minutes and notices issued/published were collected from the office of NHA Sukkur after field survey to review and compile the report. A close liaison was maintained with NHA Project team till compilation of the draft report and thus implementation status as of 30th June, 2013 was included in this final report.

3. IMPLEMENTATION STATUS OF SECTION LARPs (I – IV)
3.1 Implementation Status of RP of Section 1
11. The LARP Section-1 (0+000 - 17+500 km) does not involve land acquisition, as an adequate RoW (110 ft. wide) was available with NHA. However, the RoW of existing road was encroached by the locals at various settlements located along the road. To implement project civil works clearance of encroached RoW warranted preparation of LARP with varying degree of impacts to identified APs. Below is detail of impacts with LARP implementation status.
3.1.1 Projects Impacts
12. The following are the project major impacts on this road section:
Dismantling of 228 commercial structures;
300 AFs, i.e. 81 structure owners, 145 business renters and 74 employees
7 community structures including 5 small mosques and 2 schools (walls)
Relocation of public structures (check posts) and utilities.
3.1.2 Status of Payment at Section 1
13. Of the total 300 AFs, 295 AFs have been fully paid, while 5 AFs are unpaid so far due to one AF has filed a court case, followed by 4 those shifted elsewhere without their whereabouts known.
14. In this context, the actions taken are as below:
The NHA has been following up with the court for early decision; however, NHA confirms that the AF will be compensated according to court decision.
Regarding those shifted elsewhere, NHA has made all good faith efforts and frequent visits to the project sites to find out such AFs are conducted time and again, but so far could not find the remaining 4 AFs. NHA has put the entitled compensation of these AFs in a project account to ensure delivery of compensation to these APs as and when they appear and accordingly the APs have been informed publically through a public notice published in a national (the daily Jang) and local (the daily Kawish) newspapers on 31 August, 2012. Vide public notice published in the Newspapers, the AFs are advised to come and receive the compensation form office of the Project Director N-65, Sukkur. A copy of the advertisement is also presented.

15. The updated implementation progress in Section one reflect that 98.3% AFs have been paid their full compensation. NHA did its best efforts to disburse compensation to leftover 1.7% (5 Nos.) AFs including publishing in news papers, the names of unpaid AFs with their whereabouts unknown to locate them. The review of record reflects that the payment to left over AFs is beyond NHA’s preview. Thus, it can be concluded that the RP of Section 1 is fully implemented and RoW is clear for construction activities based on findings of 2nd External Monitoring Report (March 2012).
16. The status of implementation of RP for Section 1 is summarized in the Table 3.1, while details of Unpaid AFs are given in Annex 1.

3.2 Implementation Status of LARP of Section 2
17. The Section 2 (17+500 - 33+250) involves land acquisition for the construction of Shikarpur Bypass, where private agricultural land to be acquired. Furthermore, RoW of carriageway has been encroached by the locals at various settlements located along the proposed road. 3.2.1 Project Impacts 18. In this section, there are total 85 AFs, out of which, 78 AFs are affected due to the construction of Shikarpur Bypass and 7 affected by carriageway. The following are the project major impacts relating to the improvement of existing carriageway and construction of Shikarpur bypass: i) Carriageway: comprises a total of 15.7 km from RD 17+500 to 26+100 and
31+050 to 33+250
- 4 commercial structures - 7 AFs (3 owners of commercial structures, 3 business renters and 1 employee) - 4 small mosques - 4 public structures (check posts) subject to be relocated from RoW
ii) Shikarpur Bypass (RD 26+100 to 31+050)
Acquisition of 35.10 acres owned by 56 land owners
Affected crops on 35.10 acres (grown by 56 land owners and 10 sharecroppers);
423 trees (109 fruit and 314 wood/ timber trees) to be cut-down owned by 13 APs who are also the owners of land
43 affected structures owned by 12 AFs
Total 78 AFs (i.e. 56 land owners, 10 sharecroppers and 12 owners of structures).
3.2.2 Status of Payment
i) Carriageway: comprises a total of 15.7 km from RD 17+500 to 26+100 and 31+050 to 33+250 (excluding bypass)
Along the existing carriageway all 7 AFs have been paid.Thus, the RP is sufficiently implemented in carriageway portion (15.7 km), which has already been cleared in 2nd EMA report (March, 2012).
National Highway Authority (NHA) Final EMA Report of Sukkur – Jacobabad Road (N-65)

ii) Shikarpur Bypass (RD 26+100 to 31+050)
There are total 78 AFs at Shikarpur bypass. Updated progress reflects that the payment has been made to 77 AFs, while remaining 1 AFs is still unpaid because he has filed a reference in the court against award for enhancement of compensation.
19. To ensure timely implementation of LARP the NHA maintained a close liaison between the AFs and local revenue authorities to resolve the petty issues of few AFs. Consequent upon NHA’s efforts DDO (Revenue), Shikarpur has published an advertisement in national (the daily Jang) and local (the daily Kawish) newspapers on 31 August, 2012 and advising the AFs to come and receive their compensation. A copy of the advertisement is presented in this section. Resultantly all AFs, except one who has filed reference in the court are paid their full compensation.
20. In case of AF who filed reference in court, NHA has been pursuing with the Local Revenue Authorities and the court for early decision on the subject matter. The land cost has already been deposited in the District Treasury by NHA which is at the disposal of DDO (Revenue) that payment will be made as court decides. However, NHA is committed to abide by the court’s decision and implement it as per its essence.
21. The updated implementation progress reflects that all outstanding issues are resolved and the Sectional LARP implementation is achieved upto 99%. The left over payment to one AF contesting in court is beyond NHA’s preview. Thus, it is concluded that the LARP for Section 2 is implemented satisfactorily. Based on achieved implementation and findings of 3rd EMA report (September, 2012) the Bypass section was cleared for construction works.
22. The status of implementation of RP of Section 2 is summarized in Table 3.2, while details of Unpaid AFs are given in Annex 2.

3.3 Implementation Status of RP of Section 3
23. The Section 3 (33+250 to 53+450 km) does not involve land acquisition as an adequate RoW (i.e.110 ft wide) is available with NHA. However, RoW of existing road at this section has been encroached by the locals at various settlements located along the proposed road.
3.3.1 Projects Impacts
24. The following are the project major impacts on this road section:
- 167 affected commercial structures
- Total 238 AFs (88, 59 and 91 were owners of business structures, business renters and employees respectively).
- 28 community structures (i.e. 17 small road side mosques, 7 boundary walls of mosques, 2 wash room and 2 hand pumps).
- 34 public structures (including police check posts, boundary walls, rooms).
3.3.2 Status of Payment at Section-3
25. In the LARP Section 3 the resettlement impacts are mainly due to clearance of encroached RoW near settlements and total 241 AFs lost their assets and sources of livelihood. Update payment progress reflect that 228 AFs have been paid their full compensation.
26. Out of remaining unpaid 13 AFs; structures of 2 AFs are excluded from inventory list; 2 AFs have incomplete documents (CNIC/Bank Account issues); 2 AFs claims are under process; 4 AFs (One owner of abandoned industrial structure constructed in encroached RoW, one owner of POL logo and 2 employees categories} declines to receive their compensation; and 3 AFs left the project area without their whereabouts known.
27. The review of the record and consultation with the APs reflects that NHA did its best efforts to convince the unpaid APs to come-up and collect their compensation. The notices are also issued to the APs for receiving compensation amount and vacation of RoW. As a last resort the APs are also informed through local and national print media (local the Kawish and the Jang Newspapers) dated 21-6-2013 and 29 June 2013 to show-up and collect their entitled compensation form the project. A copy of the same is also attached.
National Highway Authority (NHA) Final EMA Report of Sukkur – Jacobabad Road (N-65)

28. The above progress reflects that except for an abandoned industrial structure of one AF (local politician/land lord)7 on encroached RoW at RD 33+650 – 33+700 and one owner of POL logo (encroached RoW), all the issues are resolved satisfactorily and the LARP implementation is almost completed. Now the outstanding payments of 10 APs (structure owner AP included) are beyond NHA’s control, however NHA’s efforts are continued to make disbursement of compensation to remaining payable AFs whenever they are ready to get compensation. Thus, now the withheld 6.5 Km LAR section is available for construction as free from all encumbrances (RD-wise details are in table below). A copy of letters is presented at Annex B, C, D and E. The details of Unpaid AFs are given in Annex 3.

7 Squatters occupying public safety zones can be provided with housing, land, or income-earning

4. CONSULTATIVE MEETINGS
4.1 Consultative Meetings
34. The consultative meetings were held with the concerned officials associated with this project to get the todate status of progress, reasons for unpaid cases and other constraints associated with this project. The major points of feedback/ constraints regarding the disbursement of payment are as under:
Out of total, 699 AFs, the number of un-paid AFs are only 18 in all 4 sections. Out of
these 18 unpaid AFs, two AFs are in structure owner category one each in section 1
and 3, 1 landowner category, 1 in business renter category and 14 fall in employee
categoryThe reasons of unpaid cases are: 2 excluded from the inventory list, 2 having
filed court cases, 4 not showing up to collect compensation (declined to receive
compensation), 3 under process; 3 have incomplete documents and 7 shifted
elsewhere with their whereabouts unknown..
35. In order to ensure the payment to leftover APs, NHA has taken the steps as:
APs informed that funds are in the project account and payment will be made at Court
decision in case of few APs, who have the court cases.
NHA convened meetings of APCLC, to coordinate/consult AFs to resolve their issues
at local level and facilitate them to process their compensation claims.
NHA has publically informed to APs to receive their payments as it is available in the
project account and notices have also been delivered to the APs.
NHA did efforts through all means to locate the APs and finally, names of AP have
been published in a National (the daily Jang) and local (the daily Kawish) newspaper
to receive their payments.
36. The list of officials/ persons met is as below:
1. Mr. Tariq Mahmood, Project Director, Sukkur - Jacobabad Road (N-65) 2. Mr. Sohail Ahmad, AD (Engg.), Sukkur - Jacobabad Road (N-65) 3. Mr. Muhammad Arshad, AD (Land.), Sukkur - Jacobabad Road (N-65) 4. Mr. Pervaiz Akhtar, Resettlement Specialist (Consultant), Sukkur - Jacobabad
Road (N-65) 5. Mr. Shaukat Zaman (Environmentalist – Contractor staff) and Mr. Ghulam Mustafa
(Contractor staff), Sukkur – Jacobabad road 6. Other allied staff
4.2 Consultative Meetings with APs/ Locals
37. The consultation meetings were carried out with the APs and other local people during the visit survey. The following are the major feedback of the APs/ and local population:
i). In general, the APs, local population, local representatives, even other stakeholders
were found pleased with the construction of this valuable road project.
National Highway Authority (NHA) Final EMA Report of Sukkur – Jacobabad Road (N-65)
16
ii). Most of the APs who were temporarily displaced due to the clearance of the RoW
have re-established their business; as well as residences especially in case of
bypass Section II.
iii). Most of the community mosques were re-constructed/ relocated at adjoining/ nearby
places in consultation with the local community, while the construction works on
remaining few were in progress at an advance stage.
iv). The payment of compensation to almost all payable APs has been made. The left
over payments are only those where APs are contesting in court, least interested to
receive compensation, left the project corridor with their whereabouts unknown for
which NHA’s efforts are still continued.
38. In general the community showed its satisfaction with the LARP provisions and mechanism for payment of compensation different categories of AFs including Title holders, Structure owners, business renters and employees. However, during consultative meetings the community raised road side safety concerns during operation of two lane dual carriage way and proposed that the NHA should install adequate signboard reflecting reduced speed limits in and near the settlements to ensure safety of lives of the community at large and their belongings.

5. PROJECT SUCCESS
39. It is worth noting that on the whole, about 97% APs have been paid their compensation and other resettlement entitlements as per approved sectional resettlement plans. Most of the affected business structures
8 have been re-
constructed/ re-established outside ROW by the affected Structure owners and have been rented out to the AFs from business renter category. Similarly the affected residences of twelve affected households (squatters)
9 in By pass
Section-2, have be reconstructed at about a distance of 500 m from affected site on the other side of the existing Sukkur-Jacobabad Road on the pieces of land purchased by the AFs in their names. The replaced structures are constructed with better construction material and in general, it can be safely concluded that the APs seem better-off in their business and employment as well as re-establishment of their residential structures as compared to their pre-project conditions. In addition, the community structures (mosques, schools) have also been re-constructed at nearby places in consultation with the local community, while the other are at advance stage of construction.
8 Of the total business structures (204), only 3 left unpaid, i.e.1 Court case, 2 AFs (1 local politician and 1
businessman Karachi based) declined to receive their payment. 9 The affected residential structures were constructed on the land acquired for By Pass. The land was not in the
name of the structure owners, they were verbally permitted by the land owner to construct their structures and work as farm labour on his land. With land acquisition for the bypass, the APs were left land less and were compensated for their structures only with additional assistance (equivalent to three months earning based on OPL) to facilitate them to relocate at their own in nearby area.

4.4 Institutional Arrangements
40. Regarding institutional arrangements, the following are the major observations:
A Project Management Unit (PMU) has already been established at NHA Complex
Sukkur headed by a Project Director under the overall supervision of GM
(construction), placed at Karachi. The associate staff includes Assistant Directors
(Engg. & Land), Consultants, Contractors, EMA and other core staff.
As per resettlement plans, the institutional arrangements for the implementation of
RPs are in place including LAR Unit, GRC and ACLC and other committees (mosque
committees). Accordingly, the meetings of LAR unit, GRC have also taken place
periodically as well as on need basis.
The ACLC has formed further community committees including mosques committees
at field level to facilitate the process of disbursement of compensation, relocation/
reconstruction mosques as well as relocation of public utilities and other.
To meet the implementation requirement of all four sections of the proposed road
project, two Project Directors have already been deployed. One project Director is
responsible for Section 1 and 2, while the second for Section 3 and 4.
