Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background Planning is now a part of Punjab’s local government system with the planning responsibilities of TMAs, clearly set out in PLGO. Under the devolved system, the newly created office of TO(P) has the following function to; (i) develop plans; (ii) develop and apply building controls; (iii) manage CCBs; (iv) implement commercialization rules; (v) operate Punjab housing development schemes; (vi) develop site development schemes. In addition, The PLGO identifies the preparation of spatial plans (Article 54 a), development plans (Article 54 c) and budget plans, long term and annual municipal development programs (Article 54 j) as key functions of the TMAs. Unfortunately, in majority of TMAs TO(P) office has not been able to perform as envisioned in the PLGO. Some of the reasons are inadequate skilled staffing, lack of up-to-date maps, necessary equipment, and of management/ regulation/ and enforcement mechanisms. As a result, development works are taking place in a piecemeal manner and lack integrated and coordinated approach. Under the devolved system, TMAs remain deficient in terms of adequate staffing, equipment, financial management, regulations, enforcement mechanisms and service delivery. Therefore, planning and development works are in piece meal manner and lack integrated and coordinated approach. The Government of Punjab has launched ‘Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project’ (PMSIP) through Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC).

1.2 PMSIP Planning The PMSIP thus aims at institutional development of TMAs through improving systems directly related to their functions and through investments in service delivery. This objective will be achieved by granting eligible TMAs both capacity grants and development grants. The World Bank and the Government of Punjab are funding the Project. Apart from providing funds for improvement and development of municipal infrastructure, the key initiative of PMSIP is to assist TMAs in developing their institutional capacity by providing management support tools like GIS, computerization of TMA functions, testing laboratory equipment, trainings, establishment of performance management systems etc. The most catching feature of the planning exercise is the involvement of the stakeholders. The objective behind their involvement was to endorse the plan for which it was prepared. The Planning exercise is a comprehensive account for the TMA to identify sectors for efficient allocation of resources on one hand and enhancing their capacity to run the


2

projects, on the other hand. This process is hence the amalgamation of technical inputs and the aspiration of the stakeholders.

1.3 Limitations of PMSIP Planning

The PMSIP development grants will fund municipal services. These are largely confined to the urban areas or CO units. The plan that will be developed will be restricted to the UCs falling in CO Units. The other CO units will be taken later on. The staff stationed at the CO unit headquarter will cover the entire Tehsil.

PMSIP requests the TMAs to prioritize projects based on improved service delivery. The plan will develop a general list of required Infrastructure projects for planning and I&S departments. However, it will also specifically identify those projects and programs that are eligible for PMSIP funding.

1.4 The Planning Process The PMSIP Action planning process is a short term process for the rapid assessment/identification of infrastructure projects. The Urban Development Plan for Jhelum has been prepared by active participation of all stakeholders including elected representatives, UC Nazim, Naib Nazim, councilors, and TMA officials through meetings, discussions, formal & informal interviews and workshop. To involve the stakeholders in the plan preparation process, PMDFC made entry point through meetings with Tehsil Nazim and formulation of Working Groups. Frequent Meetings were also held with the TMA officials including Tehsil Municipal Officer (TMO) and the Tehsil Officers (TOs), particularly TO (P&C) and TO (I&S). The technical consultant with his staff from PMDFC worked very closely with second line officials of the TO(I&S) office to collect the service delivery data through pre designed forms. For socially acceptable and sustainable planning, it was important to penetrate in the community to understand their priorities, living styles, attitude, norms, gender sensitivity, and perceptions of people about community and physical development. PMDFC therefore, where possible, ensured informal consultations and information sharing with the common man. Apart from consultations with the stakeholders, data relating to urban planning and infrastructure (both secondary and primary) was also collected for plan preparation. The available information through secondary sources was collected through various documents and publications of the Government, TMA records, and private sector. In addition, GIS map of Jhelum was procured by PMDFC and data layers were developed. This proved to be a powerful tool for spatial analysis, identification of deficiencies in different sectors, and identification of projects. The projects identified on technical grounds were then presented in a Stakeholders Consultative Workshop for validation and prioritization. The capacity building projects were finalized on basis of consultations with Tehsil Nazim, TMO and other officials. The planning process is summarized in the attached flow chart.

1.5 Methodology A bottom up planning approach has been adopted to derive a list of projects for the TMA. In this process the political leadership and the community has a significant role, for which the development is meant for. The prioritized list of projects would facilitate the TMA to make investment decisions. This list was developed through a comprehensive exercise of data collection and analysis, which was then presented before the stakeholders to prioritize.

Sources of Data In general, there were two sources for data collection:

Primary source

Secondary sources

Primary source

The methodology for the collection of data was to verify the available information with the TMA and PMDFC in the field surveys. However, much of the information was added by actually taking the observations in the field. For example for solid waste management data for secondary collection points was collected. Same is for the condition of roads, as information was already present through PMS, which was verified and updated.

Secondary sources

The secondary sources for data collection were TMA record, District Census Report, information from PHED, Housing and Physical Planning department, PMDFC Field Appraisal Report (FAR), Feasibilities produced by PMDFC etc. Another important source was the data available through Performance Management System by PMDFC. In this system a set of indicators was selected for each infrastructure sector and primary data was collected against it. For example, data for number of persons visiting the park each day and level of satisfaction of people for maintenance of parks was collected.

Visioning The whole planning process stems from Nazim’s vision for identification of development projects. Therefore, a preliminary meeting was conducted by PMDFC with the Tehsil Nazim in order to shape his vision statement which was then communicated to all of the stakeholders in the planning process. PMDFC and Nazim jointly discussed the prospects of the planning process with the Nazim and translated his vision in concrete and tangible targets. PMDFC worked very closely with Nazim through out the planning process and directed him to steer the planning process towards a clear cut well defined and unified goal as envisaged in the planning TORs. Therefore, the Nazim was involved right from the beginning of the planning process and continue to be until the prioritized list was developed.


5

At the end of the planning process, another meeting was conducted with the Nazim in which whole planning process was reviewed in the light of actual field experiences and ground realities and all those issues that were not visualized at the start of the planning process.

Interviews with the focused groups/stakeholders

To assess the overall situation of TMA Jhelum, PMDFC held interviews with stakeholders, i.e. UC Naib Nazims, member of Tehsil council and NGOs. In one of the meetings with female representatives of Tehsil Council, Ms. Rizwana Kausar had \reservations for the drainage system. It was reported that the main Jhelum city and Bilal town are adversely affected after rains. Water stays on roads and vacant plots for many days. The sewerage problem was one of the acute problems of the town. She mentioned that condition of street lights was not satisfactory through out the town. In another interview with member Tehsil Council, Ms Naheed karim and Ms Samina Imtiaz declared sewerage as the most important sector that needed immediate attention. They told that in some cases accidental deaths that happened due to overflowing sewers, drains and stagnant storm water. The other sector that needed attention was roads. Most of the roads of the town were broken especially of Bilal town.

Formation of the Working Group A working group comprising of second line officials from the planning and I&S offices worked very closely with the planning professionals from PMDFC in the preparation of the plan. The working group composed of Rana Ashfaq - sanitary inspector, Raheel Kiani - sub-engineer, Muhammad Akram - light inspector, Riaz Ahmad - sub-engineer.

Prioritization Workshop This list that was developed based on technical recommendation by PMDFC was then presented before the stake holders including Nazim, UC Nazim, Naib Nazim, councilors, etc, as they were the best to determine their priorities. This exercise was done in a workshop, arranged by PMDFC, where the service delivery needs in the existing system, together with costs, advantages, disadvantages of the development projects were presented and discussed with the stake holders.

PROFILE OF JHELUM

2.1 General

TMA Jhelum is one of three TMAs of District Jhelum. Jhelum is the main town of the TMA. There are 16 Union Councils in the Tehsil out of which 06 fall in urban areas/ CO unit. According to 1998 Population and Housing Census total population and urban population of the Tehsil is 516,942 and 129,440 respectively. The TMA has only one CO unit (Jhelum). Deena, which has now been declared TMA recently, was one of the CO units of the Tehsil earlier.

2.2 Location

Jhelum city is located at right bank of river Jhelum at N-5 highway previously called G-T road (Rawalpindi – Lahore section).It has got a distance of 165 km from Lahore and 115 km from Rawalpindi. This is an ancient city and is a district head quarter. .

2.3 Demography Jhelum is an important town in the Northern area of Punjab, situated in plateau range with its borders joining Azad Jammu & Kashmir. The city population was 129,440 persons as per 1998 Census with a growth rate of 1.99 percent per annum. The present population (year 2007) is estimated to be 148,586 persons, which is expected to grow up to 180,950 persons up to year 2015. Population of Jhelum town has been projected over the next 20 years using the following formula:

Pn = Po (1+r/100) n

Where Pn = Population of the desired year, Po = Population of the base year, r = Population Growth Rate, n = Number of years.

INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF TMA JHELUM

3.1 Capacity Building at TMA Jhelum Situational Analysis

TMA Jhelum was no different than other TMAs of Punjab in terms of lacking institutional and individual capacity required to meet post devolution challenges. Initial field appraisal carried out by PMDFC revealed that: 1. TMA staff was never offered much needed computer training and necessary

hardware essential for creating an automated office environment. 2. Information flow within the TMA and with its stakeholders was quite rudimentary

and means of communication adopted were notice board and word of mouth. 3. The complaint center, a mandatory requirement of PLGO 2001, was not

formally established. Although the TMA was maintaining a complaint register but complaints’ resolution was without a set of standard operating procedures and lacked coordination amongst TMA staff.

PMSIP Interventions

As PMDFC is geared towards improving the skills of TMA staff and considers improvement in service delivery inconceivable without a strong human resource base, it introduced human resource development initiatives unprecedented at TMA level under the umbrella of PMSIP. Since, PMSIP aims to improve performance and service delivery of TMAs - office automation is identified as the first step towards achieving these goals.

3.2 Computer Hardware & IT Trainings As IT skills are integral to efficient and effective office management in present times, PMDFC imparted I.T. training to the TMA Jhelum staff. It was complemented with the provision of office equipment so that they were able to use it efficiently. Moreover, the said IT trainings are an important step towards the computerization of office records and are resulting in efficient office management. It is hoped that analysis of data would become easy and errors in record keeping would be decreased considerably. Furthermore, I.T. skills are also a pre-requisite for PMSIP interventions such as: Financial Management System, Complaint Tracking System, Performance Management System etc. PMDFC arranged for the basic computer training of 22 staff members, nominated by the TMA, at the Micro Institute of Computer, Jhelum. The trainees attended a 2 month


9

short course. An interim assessment of trainees was done by PMDFC and their performance and level of skills gained was found to be unsatisfactory.

3.3 Complaint Tracking System & Trainings Section 188 of PLGO 2001 lays down for the establishment of a complaint cell at the Tehsil level. It states: “Every District Government, Tehsil Municipal Administration, Town Municipal Administration and Union Administration shall set up a complaint cell for redressal of grievances within the ambit of their responsibilities under this Ordinance.” The Tehsil Nazim and the TMO were involved in setting up a complaint cell at the TMA office. The complaint cell was established under the supervision of the TO-I&S Mr. Tanveer Iqbal and Mr. Yousaf Shad, Tiller Operator was nominated by the TMO to record complaints at the complaint cell. A standard design of complaint register was developed by PMDFC and the register was handed over to the TMA. A 1 day hands-on training was given to the officials in accordance with the standard operating procedures developed by PMDFC for complaint resolution. PMDFC hopes that its ground breaking interventions will go a long way in the human resource development of TMA Jhelum and its staff once equipped with right skills set can be expected to provide timely, cost effective and reliable services to the citizens of Jhelum.

3.4 Performance Management System Performance Management System in TMAs is one of the key institutional development components of performance improvement plan (PIP) that PMDFC is implementing in partner TMAs. PMDFC has taken the initiative of implementing PMS in its partner TMAs, under the guidance of Mr. Harry P. Hatry and Ms Rittu Nayyar Stone from Urban Institute Washington and World Bank. In March 05, a team of experts from Urban Institute visited PMDFC and arranged a two days workshop (19 & 21 March 05) at Hotel Avari, Lahore on Performance Management System.

PMS in TMA Jhelum

PMDFC has arranged several workshops, meetings and visits for awareness and consensus building among the TMA staff. The details of workshops/ seminars in which TMA Jhelum was invited were;

Data Collection & Analysis

Before initiation of PMS, there was lack of data collection and reporting culture particularly in municipal service delivery. After development of performance indicators and selection of core indicators, data collection formats were developed and shared with the TMAs during the two workshops held in July 05 (3 & 10 July). Trainings were also provided to TMA staff where required for data collection. The last two workshops were arranged to train the nominated TMA staff for road rating and parks survey. TMA Jhelum was then asked to collect and report data on core performance indicators by the end of July 06, which was used as baseline for year 2006-07. The status of baseline information provided by TMA is.

Source: PMS, PMDFC It almost takes more than four months to clean the data and get the reports in given reporting formats. The reporting formats were developed as per discussions with relevant TMA officials. Data for the reported period was analyzed and its cleaning was done.

3.5 Financial Management System Currently TMAs all across Pakistan are using manual bookkeeping system which is out dated, and involves extensive duplication of work. This system relies heavily on the registers and one entry is made in several successive registers for meaningful reporting. TMAs are lagging behind in office automation due to lack of technical know-how and lack of equipment. The introduction of computer culture in the TMAs is long overdue. Under Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project, PMDFC developed a computerized Financial Management System (FMS) which is being rolled out for implementation in the partner TMAs. In this regard, initial work has been started for the implementation of FMS in TMA Jhelum. An important aspect of the implementation process is that TMA staff is not only being trained in the operations of the software but hardware has also been provided to the TMAs. Provision of Computers and Printers: Office of the TO (F) at Jhelum received latest computers and printers from PMDFC. This initiative was planned by the PMDFC for the capacity building of the Staff of the TO (F) and the staff of the TMA. With this undertaking, PMDFC launched a massive program for the training of the TMA staff.

TMA Jhelum was also part of this training program and its staff has already received basic computer training in the use of computers.

From the above analysis we can gather that for the last two years TMA Jhelum is consistently increasing its own source revenue which is positive aspect. As far as expenditures are concerned, non-development expenditures are on the rise. However there is great variation in development expenditure. This variation on the development

side is mainly due to the fact that government grants for development projects are not consistently given out to the TMAs every year and due to financial constraints TMAs cannot start development project on there on.

3.6 Management Analysis 3.6.1 Staff Turnover Staff turnover since 2001

TMO TO(I&S) TO(P) TO(F) TO(R)

4 6 8 7 5

Staff turnover as evident from the above table is much more then desired as staff members are transferred in quick succession. The result is not a good working environment for the TMA.

3.6.2 Staff Perks Staff Residency/Accommodation

TMO and TO(F) has an official residency.

Transportation Facility

TMO has an official vehicle as well as TO (I&S) who has an old jeep. TO (P) and TO (R) don’t have any vehicle and are facing problems in commuting to their official tasks.

3.6.3 Office Structure Building/Independent Offices

TMA has its own office at Civil Lines road. It has a hall that is used for Tehsil council meetings and other TMA functions. Work space

All TOs have independent office that equipped with requisite furniture, telephone connections.

Computers There was only one computer in TO(F) office and PMSIP provided four(4) more computer with printers. Therefore, each TO office has now computer and a printer. It is expected that with the provision of these computer hardware and related IT trainings, TMA working efficiency would be increased substantially.

URBAN PLANNING

4.1 TO(P) Office As the Planning office is newly created in the devolved set up, the planning practices are not common with the TMA. The most important function of the planning office is the development control and sanctioning of the building plans.

Source: Budget Book

The table 5 shows the comparison of available posts against filled posts. It is clear that there is no building inspector in TMA Jhelum. The planning activities are hampered due to non availability of building inspector, as regular up to date information does not come to TO(P) office. Moreover, the commercialization fees (i.e. change of use from residential to commercial) is relatively high. People are reluctant to pay that. It is hence a financial loss for the TMA.

4.2 Mapping

A comprehensive mapping exercise under Geographic Information System has been undertaken in Jheum by PMDFC. Previously, the maps available with the TMA were obsolete and out dated. But now the TMA is equipped with latest up to date maps. The maps developed through GIS are base map for roads, land use map, UC boundary map, Map with Mohallah Names and maps for all service like water supply, sewerage, solid waste management and street lights.

4.3 Land use Characteristics The land-use pattern in Jhelum is generally undefined and haphazard. The major commercial activities are concentrated in the southern part of the town as linear strips along the roads, which are though quiet wide, but due to encroachments and congestion create further chaos. The hub of commercial activities is the Shandar chowk. This chowk lies at the intersection of two main roads of the town i.e. Old GT road and Civil lines road. This is very congested area. The internal road pattern is irregular and haphazard, which creates further congestion. The slow moving traffic mixed with fast moving traffic makes the situation even worse. Vegetable market located in extreme south. Jamia Asria mosque lies at the Asria Chowk. Jamia Dar ul Ulooom is situated on the other side of the road, opposite to Jamia Asria. This is a big mosque and serves the entire part of the town. Another mosque lies near Shandar chowk. The area adjacent to Jinaz Gah chowk, which lies at the intersection of Qabristan road and Dhok Jumma road road is the congested area with irregular street pattern. The commercial activities lie along Dhok Juma road and Qabristan road. But it is not purely commercial, rather the upper portion is residential and the lower part of the building is used for commercial activities. There are three main graveyards in the town. The one lies near Jinaz Gah chowk in the hub of the old city in the south. The other lies on Islam pura road in the north and the third one lies in the north south of the town on the road to Kala gujran. The largest graveyard of the town is situated on either side of the Qabristan road. Mohammadi chowk is another important chowk at the intersection of Akram Shaheed road and Qabristan road. Islamia High school and Girls college are located along Akram Shaheed road. This road is also commercialized on either sides. To the extreme end of Akram Shaheed road is the Katchehry chowk. To the North of this chowk lies the Institutional buildings like, Police lines, Katchehry and DCO office. From Katchehry road emerges the Kareem pura road which goes towards the North west of the town, touching the institutional zone and some of the commercial activities. This road leads to Kala Gujran. This is the northern part of the town. Most of the future growth is thus likely to take place towards north west of the town. There are a number of vacant pockets in this area as sporadic development has taken place in this part of the town. At present only two open spaces exist in the eastern part of the town near the main drain. To the west of the town lies the Jada Town. It is a densely populated part of the town, which is predominantly residential. Boys High school and DHQ civil hospital is situated along Old GT road. Bilal town is situated in the North east of the Jhelum. It was developed by Housing and Physical Planning Department. The entire road network is on Grid iron pattern. But the condition of roads is very poor. There is only one open space in Bilal town which is not maintained. There is one main market and Mosque ( Bilal mosque) adjacent to it.

4.4 City Zones Functionally Jhelum can be divided into three zones:

Southern part (Old city)

Eastern part

Western part

Old City (or southern Zone) is a high density zone bound by Civil lines road towards south-east. River Jhelum is situated along south-east of the town. Drain is towards the south. The zone is predominantly residential, includes main commercial areas. This area has been haphazardly developed due to the lack of systematic planning and effective development control, resulting in narrow and zigzag streets. The Mohallas that exist in this part of the town are:Mohalla Baig, Mohalla Khawaj Ghan, Mohalla Madni,Mohalla Shumali, Nia Mohalla, Machine Mohala, Dhok Juma, Mohalla Peera Ghaib. The eastern zone is bounded by Civil lines Road and River Jhelum is adjacent to the south eastern part of the town. On the south west of the town the Army Cantonment area is situated, which is bifurcated to the entire town by a railway line. The North west of the town is sparsely developed and relatively new developments are taking place. There are many vacant pockets in between. The density is lower as compared to old city. In this zone a main hospital, District Health Quarter is situated along Old GT road. The condition of the residential area is relatively better in this zone. However, the construction activity is taking place in a piecemeal fashion, resulting in many vacant parcels of land. This zone has easy access to major public and private services or facilities. Mostly the government offices and public buildings like Tehsil Municipal Administration, Police Station, Government Boys School, Hospital, parks, post office etc have been constructed.

4.5 Housing Typologies In order to have some idea of existing housing situation in retrospect, some information was gathered from secondary sources like District Census report. The following information in following table was collected from District Census report, Jhelum. Table 6: Type of Housing Structures

Type of structure Number Percentage

Pacca 17,917 89.7%

Semi pacca 1003 5.02%

Katcha 1042 5.1%

Total 19,962

Source: Jhelum DCR


18

The number of housing units in Jhelum were 19,962 according to census report,1998. The type of structures that are pacca comprise 89 % of the total housing structures, where semi pacca are 5% and 5% are katcha.

4.6 Growth Directions

The future expansion of Jhelum is taking place to the North-west of the town. The town’s expansion is restricted in the northern side as to the South – East lies the River Jhelum and to the South-West is the Army Cantonment area. Therefore the town is mainly expanding beyond Bilal town, along Talian Wala road, in north-east direction. Newly constructed houses can be found in this area. Other non residential uses as educational, commercial, petrol pumps etc are being developed with the passage of time. The other direction for the expansion of the town is taking place in the area between road to kala Gujran and Islam Pura road. This area is called Islam pura. This area is sporadically developed. There are a number of vacant plots in this belt which are mainly used for agricultural purposes, but due to rapid urbanization its use is being converted into residential. Some more expansion is taking place to the north of Jada town, along GT road and road to Kala Gujran.

Chapter V

STATUS OF MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE & RECOMMENDATIONS

For determining the existing status of infrastructure, PMDFC developed pre designed formats. The data was collected by engineers who worked very closely with the second line officials of the TMA staff. This information was utilized to determine the status of service delivery, including required improvements and extensions. Based on the analysis, PMDFC identified the following areas (separately for each service):

1. Areas with no service 2. Areas with partial coverage. 3. Areas such as new residential colonies where services are planned to be

provided. Based on the above analysis, the status of infrastructure services is described below:

5.1 Road Network

Jhelum is well-connected to other areas through a network of inter-city roads. The town is linked to Islamabad/Pindi and Lahore as it lies on G T Road (National Highway Road). It is also connected to PD Khan by Jhelum - PD Khan Road managed by the Provincial Highway Department.

The mixture of fast and slow moving traffic causes delays, traffic jams, congestion, pollution and accidents. The overall condition of roads in the city is unsatisfactory. Main roads of the town are without footpaths and proper street lighting. The main bazars of Jhelum include Main Bazar, having intense commercial activities along them.

Details of road data in Jhelum are shown in Annex-A. Roads in main Jhelum town are satisfactory except areas such as Kala Gujran and Bilal Town.

5.2 Water Supply Under PMSIP an improvement water supply network in Jhelum town has been initiated. Following data has been taken from feasibility reports of the consultants. The project area consists of two sub areas i.e. Main Jhelum City and Kala Gujran Khan. Both the areas are situated at a distance of approximately 2-3 km from each other. For evaluation and planning, both the areas will be considered independently.

Source

Ground water is the only source and is being used for supplying of potable water to the Jhelum City.

Tube wells Presently twenty tube wells are installed and working at different locations in the City. The detailed inventory regarding these tube wells is given in the Table 7. These tube wells were designed for discharging capacity of 1.0 cusec each and were providing the total discharge of twenty (20) cusecs after their installations. But now the total discharge has been reduced from 20 cusecs to 15.15 cusecs.


21

Out of twenty (20), seventeen (17) tube wells are installed in the Main Jhelum City area, whereas the remaining three (3) tube wells are working in Kala Gujran khan area and presently supplying a total discharge of 12.95 and 2.2 cusecs respectively. Over Head Reservoirs Total three (3) No. overhead reservoirs of total storage capacity of 250,000 gallons are present in both the project areas. Out of three (3), two(2) over head reservoirs each of having capacity 100,000 gallons are located in the Main Jehlum City whereas remaining (one) of capacity 50,000 gallons is located in Kala Gujran Khan. Over head reservoir situated near Tablegh-e- Islam of Main Jehlum City. All the overhead tanks were in working conditions except minor repair and maintenance that can be done by TMA. Water produced / capita of present population = 24 GPCD Water Supply Pipes Piped water supply is available for the distribution of potable water for both the areas. As per available data/ information pipe sizes ranging from 3” to 12“ i/d have been used in the distribution systems in both the areas. Different pipe materials have been used in distribution system transmission mains like Cast Iron (CI), Asbestos Cement (AC), PVC pipes and Galvanized iron (GI) pipes. According to TMA officials no major problems exist in the Distribution Network. However some pipe line of CI and GI material that were laid in 1970 need to be replaced, because during physical examination it was found that some pipes are leaking and rusted up. This was informed by TMA that such pipes have been replaced while some are being replaced when ever it is required. So replacing of GI, CI pipes is a continuous process being done by TMA. During site visit water contamination problems have been seen and presented in the Exhibit .

Distribution System

Water is being provided either by direct pumping or by pumping through over head storage reservoir. In Main Jehlum City, six (7) tubewell are connected with overhead reservoirs and the remaining seven (10) tubewell are directly connected with the system. Similarly in Kala Gujran khan two (2) tubewells are connected with the overhead reservoir and remaining one (1) tubewell is directly connected with the system.

5.2.1 Storm Water Drainage Existing Situation Storm water drainage is the main problem of the city as there is no proper disposal of storm water. The existing drains are filled with silt and debris. There is a severe ponding


24

problem in low laying areas due to lack of drainage facilities. Existing Storm water drains are flowing from north to south in the city and ultimately terminate into River Jhelum. The top soil is hard clay mixed with pebbles and percolation into sub-soil does not take place and all precipitation is converted into storm water run off.

Present storm water drainage system consists of open channels passing through the city and discharging into the River. Some sections of the existing drains are lined or constructed in brick masonry whereas the remaining are natural earthen channels.

The field visits were helpful to ascertain the catchments areas, length and slope of drains, flooding areas, deposition of silt /debris in bed of drains. These parameters were considered for evaluation of existing storm water drainage system. Physical conditions of drains and outfall structures were also checked. It was observed that the low lying areas are facing severe problems of flooding during rains, long stagnation periods and consequently damage of properties.

Problems Problems observed during site visit are given as under: Improper disposal of rain water Under size drains Unlined Earthen Channels Encroachment along drains At some places existing bed levels of drain higher than road level Mostly the drains are filled with silt and debris due to lack of solid waste

management system Loading of sewage from houses due to lack of proper sewerage system in

some areas Due to choking of sewerage system, the pipe lines are connected with drains

Present condition of the drains is shown in the following Exhibit 2.

Proposal for Drainage System

In Storm Water Drainage System, rectangular channels have been recommended with proper slope suiting the ground topography and discharge requirements. Maintenance of these sections is quite easy with lesser cost. It is recommended to construct drain walls

Exhibit: 3 Drainage Nullah


25

with brick lining and drain beds with concrete lining respectively to make them stable, economical and long lasting. At certain places, drain with RCC covered slab is also proposed for people to have easy access.

Existing Drain Routes Detailed leveling was carried out along existing drainage routes of the project Area. Different drains were selected for survey and leveling and measurement of their cross sections, which were plotted for further analysis, planning and design purposes.

Proposed Drain Routes Proposed drainage routes selected for leveling include the routes of all the proposed main drains, which follow the existing main roads and proposed planned roads.

Right of way of Existing Drains

Drainage Routes and right of way of existing drains was selected by Consultant’s team along with TMA, Jhelum.

5.3 Sewerage Presently sewerage facilities provided in the city are very poor. There is an interconnection of nullahs, drains and sewers. Existing sewerage network was laid by PHED. Further, extension of sewerage scheme has been approved and would be implemented by PHED and would cover rest of town except Bilal Town that has its own sewerage network. Topography & Surface Drainage The natural topography is sloping towards old city but due to blockage of roads and new Abadies on the way the rain water and domestic waste find no way and creates ponds in depressions. Existing Sewerage System The existing network was designed in 1974 and was completed in 1985 and cover old city along Machine Mohallah Road up to Jada, Dhoke Jumma Road, Islamia School road with trunk and lateral sewer. The population at north side of Islamia School Road and beyond Jada up to Kala is without sewerage facilities. Present system has passed its design life. There is only one Disposal station located near kachi abadi, stadium and Altaf park and has the following features;

The natural topography is sloping towards old city but due to blockage of roads and new abadies on the way the rain water and domestic waste find no way and creates ponds in depressions. Flooding problems occur during rainy season at various parts of town. A number of ponds with stagnating waste water are still observed in the town, deteriorating the environment, polluting subsoil water and causing water borne diseases. The waste of PTC has further deteriorated this situation and people are living in an unsanitary condition in Kala Gajran. Major Problem Areas Chowk Ahl-e-Hadees and Muhammadi Chowk. Mohallas with problems are: Mohallah Mujahabad, Machine Mohalla No. 3, Shumali Mohalla, Dhok Juma, Madni Mohalla. Details of sewerage connections was collected through PMS, PMDFC and is shown in Annex –C. Needs Present sewerage network has passed its design life. Population has increased in the main city and new areas have been developed where there is no sewerage. Old areas having sewerage are facing wit flooding problems. Therefore, detailed study is needed to improve sewerage in the present network. In addition, sewerage network is needed to extend to areas such as north side of Islamia School Road and beyond Jada up to Kala.

5.5 Solid Waste Management

This report provides an assessment of the present facilities of solid waste management, problems and needs of the town, and improvements needed. In order to collect primary data on project features and existing facilities, PMDFC team members visited TMA Jhelum and had detailed discussions and site visits.

Map 5: Solid Waste Collection Map – Jhelum


31

If we consider regular service in areas that are fully served collection is estimated to be around 35-40 tons. Existing System

The existing solid waste management system of the town is quite inadequate. A snapshot of it is given below:-

Collection System

After sweeping the streets and roads the sanitary workers carry the solid waste in wheel barrows driven manually and collect at certain collection points.

Disposal

No composting is being done for the organic contents of the solid waste. The collected solid waste is disposed of by various methods explained as below. There is no proper disposal site and solid waste is dumped along bank of river Jhelum near kachi Abadi. TMA recently bought 10 containers (5’ x 7’ x 5’) and placed all over the city. It has a door that opens for waste to be placed inside. Purpose was that citizens would throw waste inside as well as they would serve as collection points for the New Holland (35 HP) Tractor-loader. The experiment, has not received desired results according to the sanitary inspector. Citizens have not been trained successfully and trash is thrown outside these bins. Two containers have been taken off from district hospital site and are lying at the disposal site near stadium for repair. Tractor Trolleys From certain collection points established at comparatively spacious sites, accessible to tractor trolleys, the solid waste is transported to dumping sites by tractor trolleys. TMA has presently only two (2) nos. tractor trolleys. The entire solid waste generated cannot be transported by these trolleys because of shortage of mechanical equipment and manpower. Available Equipments

The under mentioned equipment is available with TMA Jhelum:-

Existing Service Level Due to shortage of equipment and manpower TMA Jhelum is not able to serve the entire area of the town. Some areas have good service delivery level whereas other having lesser attention gets poor service. The service level in the town is stated as under: Served Areas

Main town of Jhelum comprising of following areas is fully served and streets are swept daily. 1. Kachi Abadi 2. Model Colony 3. Madni Mohalla 4. Shumali Mohalla 5. Mohalla Peera Ghalib 6. Machine Mohallas 1,2,3 7. Railway Colony 8. Lalazar Colony 9. Dhok Jumma 10. Jadah Town 11. Professor Colony 12. Mujahid Abad 13. Dhok Mubarak 14. Islam Pura Poorly Served Areas

34

These areas are not served properly due to shortage of equipment and collection vehicles. These areas comprise of two UC councils with population around 50,000. Data of daily collection points is shown in Annex D.

Existing Land Fill Sites No proper land fill site is available in or outside the town. The solid waste is dumped in open space along river Jhelum near stadium and Kachi Abadi, creating total in-sanitary & unhygienic conditions, degrading the environment of the town, emitting obnoxious smells and breeding mosquitoes and flies, causing spreading of communicable diseases. Discussions with Tesil Nazim and Chief Officer revealed that TMA is trying its best to procure land for final disposal but has to date unable to succeed as there are no available land holdings that people are willing to sell. TMA has even advertised for the procurement of land.

Needs

The town is generating about 60 tons of solid waste / day which is expected to increase to around 74 ton/day by 2016 and 90 tons/day by 2026. The TMA has capacity of managing only around 14.5 ton/day with the existing equipment and manpower. If the management capacity of TMA is not improved, the town will face serious environmental threats with heaps of solid waste emerging up in street, bazaars, open spaces and even in play grounds.

5.6 Fire Fighting

Existing Fire Fighting Arrangements The existing fire fighting system in Jhelum is located adjacent to TMA office. There are two sheds for fire engines. The one is serving as office for fire supervisor in which there is no furniture or equipment for fire staff to function efficiently. Fire equipment is scattered all around the congested room. Record of fire incidences has been kept up to date by the staff. Discussions with fire supervisor indicated that present location of fire station is quiet feasible, but it needs few more rooms that can be built to adequately place the equipment and record. Office also needs more furniture.

Overall situation of Fire Fighting Arrangements Situation is satisfactory as far as staff is concerned. It is being supervised by a very experienced Fire Superintendent. It is being run at full capacity i.e. in three shifts for 24 hours. The location of fire station is also central and fire hydrants are placed all around the town. One of the obsolete fire engine needs to be replaced. More rooms need to be added to upgrade office and stores.

5.7 Parks Presently, one park is being maintained by TMA. PMDFC trained TMA staff to do visitors count and trained them to do customer satisfaction survey for the said parks. The training sessions were held in Lahore on 19-07-2006. Further information was collected by the planning team by field visits.

Akram Shaheed Park This park is located at very central location. It’s located on Old G. T. Road just off Shandar Chowk. It’s a small park and is spread over just 4 kanals. The park was renovated by district government and handed over to TMA for operations and maintenance. TMA has efficiently kept the park. The park has beautiful marble pathways with well kept grass lawns. There are benches for park goers as well as toilet facilities.

Further Needs

Although, two well maintained parks is an achievement for the TMA, but, the areas such as Bilal Town and Kala Gujran don’t have maintained parks. Billa town do have space allocated to parks and parks can be developed over there.

5.8 Slaughter House

Slaughter house was visited by planning team, PMDFC with chief sanitary inspector. During discussions with Tehsil Nazim and sanitation staff it was noted that TMA has realized that slaughter house has now been surrounded by inhabitants and schools causing public nuisance and could lead to spread of infectious diseases. TMA has started process to shift slaughter house outside city. Some place in mallot for the purpose has been earmarked that is around 12 km from town. Though, slaughter house employee had the view that it was far off for butchers to carry their animals for slaughtering and may cause decrease in animals that are being brought there. Existing slaughter house is located at Islam Pura on the road that leads to Kala Gujran from Muhammadi Chowk. The slaughter house was developed when there were not many residential areas around it. Now it is surrounded by population. It was developed by TMA at its own property and had served the town well. At back of the slaughter house there is a plot that TMA owns. The existing land available for slaughter house is 120’ x 60’


40

containing three sheds. All three sheds are used as skinning halls. Middle shed is smaller. Left and right sheds are larger. Usually, large animals are slaughtered in the middle smaller shed. There is no solid waste storage area. There is one office but is not used. There is one room at back where the slaughter house attendant lives. There is ample parking space at front of the slaughter house, though, it is uncovered.

Exhibit 13: Slaughter House

There are two shifts (i) early morning and evening. Large animals are mostly brought in the evening. The lighting facilities are also not sufficient to carry out slaughtering during night or early morning. 200 – 300 small animals are brought each day along with 25-50 large ones.

Exhibit 14: Interior of Slaughter House

Water Supply System Water is available from TMA public water supply system by of ¾” dia pipeline connection having length of 150 ft. There is a water storage tank at top of the right shed. It is 7 x 5 x 5 feet. There is usually water shortage due to electricity shortages. There was 15 days beak in electricity and TMA had to bring water from outside to clean the place.

Drainage System

Effluent disposal is not connected to sewerage system and is discharged into open area at back of the slaughter house without any treatment causing very unhygienic environment. Effluent is pooling mixed with solid waste from the slaughter house into a mess at back of the slaughter house. Water bodies may be contaminated by the waste generated by slaughterhouse.


41

Exhibit 15: Disposal of blood

in open channel

Exhibit 16: Disposal in ground The main pollutants are blood, animal dung and body parts. Although contaminates are not toxic in natures, but they can introduce bacterial contamination and increase nitrates, phosphates and sulfates concentration in water, leading to health problems.

Solid Waste

Solid waste is being dumped at back of slaughter house in heaps. TMA dug the place few months back to clean the place but it has again returned to its original state. No treatment is being done on the solid waste generated. Soil is also being contaminated where solid waste is being dumped.

Exhibit 17: Solid Waste Dumping

in Open Ground

Existing Establishment The veterinary doctor is on honorarium of Rs. 800/- per month which is extremely low. Due to this reason he is not available during slaughtering and he has deputed a dispenser to check the health of animals. There is one supervisor who is under sanitation staff but deputed there to look after the slaughter house.

Operation and Maintenance The present system is being maintained by TMA Jhelum out of its own resources as the fee of slaughtering is very nominal. Fee for small animals = Rs. 5/ animal Fee for big animals = Rs. 10/ animal

Problems

Presently, people are forced to purchase unhygienic meat which is slaughtered illegally. Shopkeepers avoid going to slaughter house due to inadequate facilities. Due to inadequate disposal of solid waste and effluent mosquitoes and flies breeding is enormously high. People of this area specially school children face difficulties due to nuisance, mosquitoes and flies. Hence shifting of this slaughter house is justified and needs immediate attention. The population of TMA Jhelum has grown rapidly in recent years. The nutrition needs of the population have multiplied and efforts are being made by the TMA to cater to the same. The complaints of from locals are increasing day by day due to The presence of this slaughter house is a nuisance to local people. Existing slaughter house is not capable of fulfilling the present slaughtering requirements as well as social issues are increasing each day. Keeping in view, these problems, TMA Jhelum has decided to shift the slaughter house outside the city premises at Mallot. It is about 12 km from TMA office.

Chapter VI

WORKSHOP ON PRIORITIZATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE SUB-PROJECT

Project Prioritization Projects identified were based on surveys, analysis and ‘technical judgment’. The projects identified needed validation and prioritization by the elected representatives of the people through consultations. The following methodology was adopted for the prioritization process.

6.1 Pre-Workshop Consultations PMDFC held meeting with Tehsil Nazim to discuss and finalize the workshop methodology. The purpose was to develop a common understanding and build consensus about the workshop methodology and the proposed projects. The Tehsil Nazim was requested to invite the participants for workshop and make available suitable venue for it. PMDFC briefed how the workshop would proceed, including details about formation of groups, inter-sector prioritization (i.e. roads vs water supply vs sewerage etc.), followed by intra-sector prioritization, e.g. in case of roads sector, individual road projects for the whole town were prioritized.

6.2 Workshop Proceedings

6.2.1 General The work shop was held on 27th march, 2007, in TMA complex, Jhelum. It commenced at 1:30 p.m and was concluded at around 3:30 p.m.

6.2.2 Workshop Participants The number of participants was 18. The stake holders were mainly the representatives of the Tehsil Council and Union Naib Nazims, from 6 urban UCs of TMA Jhelum. List of participants is appended at the end of this report.


44

6.2.3 The Session After interviews, the workshop was formally started in which a presentation was given by PMDFC on the existing situation of the town and proposed list of projects. During the presentation, the participants took a keen interest, and asked a number of questions about the working of, and already projects under taken by PMDFC. They further updated the information about the existing situation, e.g. they added projects for street lights, as it was their priority in this particular sector.

6.2.4 Group Formation The participants were divided into 4 groups at random, but it was ensured that people form same UC may not be included in the same group. Each group comprised of 4-5 persons.

Exhibit 19: Prioritization Workshop

In the first round, inter-sector prioritization was done. Each group was given a list of sectors i.e. roads, water supply, sewerage etc. They were to label their priority before each sector e.g. if they thought drains was the most important problem of the town they were to assign 1 before drains, etc. The results of the Inter sector prioritization were entered into a ‘priority matrix’. In this matrix, the group-wise sector priorities were entered as assigned by the group members. Based on the frequency of responses, the inter-sector prioritization was finalized. In the second round, group members were asked to prioritize intra-sector projects. Thus in case of roads, name of individual roads identified were written Intra sector prioritization matrix. The participants suggested some new projects to be included, e.g. street lights,

Exhibit 18: Consultations with the Stakeholders


45

which had not been identified by the PMDFC. The priority-wise projects were then entered in intra-sector priority matrix, and sub-projects finalized on the basis of frequency of responses.


46

6.3 Prioritized List of Sub-Projects Thus a prioritized list of projects was developed for TMA Jhelum, as shown below: Table 26: Prioritized Projects- Jhelum

The prioritization process calls for the road map for the allocation of resources for the TMA. It is important to mention here that in Jhelum, water supply was one of the most important problems of the town. But as PMDFC had already taken up the scheme for water supply, therefore, the prioritized list thus developed has the top priority for sewerage and water supply has gone down to no 4. Nazim’s vision was very much clear about shifting the slaughter house at Mallot. Nazim’s perception was that there will be no urban expansion towards Mallot for so many years to come and hence nuisance created by slaughter house will remain isolated. The Planning process adopted rules out the selection of projects at random or biasness, rather it reflects the ground realities and is demand driven. If the projects are not need


47

based, they are not sustainable for long period of time and become redundant without any benefit to the community or the user. Even if such projects survive, they benefit only a specific group of people. It is therefore important for Infrastructure projects to be need based and both beneficial to and acceptable to the community. To make it mandatory, the involvement of stakeholders was ensured at all stages of planning, including the process of prioritization of the development projects.
