EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed project – Haryana Power System Improvement Project, funded by the World Bank and implemented by Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL), aims to improve the accountability, efficiency and quality of electricity services in Haryana through investments in power supply infrastructure, training/capacity building and technology-transfer, and overall institutional strengthening. Scope of the Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan This plan looks into the resettlement issues for the transmission lines based on the walkover surveys provided by the HVPNL. The Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan has been prepared for G-6 package consisting of 10 transmission lines1, in compliance with the Environment and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP) of the HVPNL. The RRAP for G-6 has been prepared Circle-wise. This RRAP deals with the proposed transmission lines located in Gurgaon Circle. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Social issues associated with power transmission line projects are mainly related to land required for footing towers, without any acquisition of land. Transmission line alignments have been finalized by avoiding/ crossing villages and settlement areas and trees. Official estimates indicate that for these transmission lines in Mahendragarh district, a total of 79 towers shall be footed for which the landowners would witness insignificant impact on their land. A total of 0.474 acres of land would be required for footing these 79 towers. Each landowner will lose only a small area for a tower and will be able to cultivate under the transmission lines and towers. The Project will not have adverse impact on livelihood or income. The outcome of social impact assessment carried out for these transmission lines indicate that the, adverse impacts shall comprise: loss of crops during construction, temporary disturbance during construction and erection of transmission towers and stringing and potential change in land prices. These lines pass through 12 villages in the rural areas of these districts. A total of 42.84 acres of agricultural land will be covered by these transmission lines, thereby impacting standing crops during the construction period. Standing crops observed by the survey team were mainly mustard and wheat. However, HVPNL may like to avoid these standing crops by scheduling the timing of the construction works between two crops. Community Consultations Consultations constituted an important tool to gauge people’s perceptions and to record their views with regard to the important infrastructure development that shall take place in their area. In addition, they were used as a medium to convey the ESPP and its relevant provisions. Community consultations were carried out in 11 villages with the respective Panchayats, village communities and women groups. These consultations brought forth the necessity of project intervention of this kind. Two distinct perceptions emerged from these discussions. At present 1 These transmission lines include Under Faridabad circle: 220 KV D/C Sector -72 Gurgaon to Rangala Rajpur (Firozepur-Zirka) line with 0.5 Sq. inch ACSR (Moose) via Nuh – 80 Km; Const. of 220 KV D/C Line with “ACSR (Moose) from proposed 400 KV substation Nawada (Faridabad) to 220 KV sub-station A-5 Faridabad – 6 km. Under Hisar circle; LILO of both circuits of existing 220 KV D/C 400 KV Mayar (PGCIL Hisar) S/Stn to Isherwal S/stn at 220 KV S/Stn Sangwan (Tosham) with 0.4 sqm “ACSR (Zebra) 2 x 20 = 40 Km; LILO of 132 KV Isherwal – Jui S/C line at 132 KV sub-station Kairu (Bhiwani) with ACSR (Painther) – 4.2 Km; LILO of 132 KV S/C Hansi-Narnaud line at Masudpur (Hansi) with 0.2 Sq.inch “ACSR (Painther) – 13.620 km. Under Panchkula circle: 220 KV D/C line from 400 KV S/Stn PKL to 220 KV S/Stn Rawail (Panchkula) with 0.5 Sq.inch ACSR (Moose) – 13.2 Km; LILO of one circuit of 220 KV D/C Panchkula – Tapla line at 220 KV S/Stn Raiwali (Panchkula) with 0.4 sq. ACSR (Zebra) – 4.5 Km. Under Karnal circle: LILO of one circuit of 132 KV D/C PTPS – Chandauli line at 132 KV S/stn Kabri (Panipat) with 0.2 Sq.inch “ACSR (Painther) – 2.305 Km.

power supply is inadequate and demand for more power was unanimous to meet the domestic and agricultural needs of villagers across Mahendragarh regardless of their socio-economic status. Largely, communities were similar in their expectations of the project. They expressed concern about the compensation for land besides standing crops. They appreciated the efforts made by HVPNL in routing these lines. Safety emerged as major concern for most people and in particular for women folks, while they acknowledged the overall benefits that will accrue from these lines. Resettlement Principles and Policy Framework This project is based on the resettlement principles of avoidance, minimization and alleviation. Among other principles, special attention has been paid for the improvement of living standards of marginalized and vulnerable groups and ensuring delivery of R&R entitlements and compensation for lost assets based on HVPNL’s entitlement framework. This project has taken into account the HVPNL’s Environment and Social Policy and Procedures, which covers the mandatory social requirements for HVPNL transmission works including Land Acquisition Act 1894, Haryana Government Rehabilitation & Resettlement Policy for land acquisition, WB OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement and OP 4.10 on Indigenous Peoples. Besides, these policies, National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy 2007 too had been consulted while framing the ESPP. Public is informed about the project at every stage of execution by press notes and media release etc. Entitlement Framework HVPNL’s framework is to ensure realistic rehabilitation and compensation of the acquired assets of the affected assets covering categories such as loss of land (homestead land, agriculture land, tenants, lease holders, encroachers/ squatters etc), loss of structure ( with valid title, tenants, lease holders, squatters, cattle sheds, workshop sheds etc.), loss of livelihood, Loss of standing crops/ trees, loss of access to common property resources (CPR) and facilities, losses to host communities, panchayat land and additional benefits for vulnerable persons. The entitlement for this subproject adopts and complies with the HVPNL’s framework. For this sub-project, only compensation for standing crops falls under the framework. Institutional Framework and Grievance Redressal A three-tier set up is proposed in the ESPP of HVPNL viz., Divisional, Zonal and at Headquarters, comprising of Officials at respective levels. At the Head Quarter Level it is Environment, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Committee (ERRC), at Zonal level it is Environment and Social Monitoring Committee (ESMC), and at the Division level it is Environment and Social Implementation unit (ESIU). The grievance if any will be first addressed by the ESMC. Compensation and Budget Estimates Compensation for this package pertains to standing crops only. These were calculated keeping in view the yield of crops and their rates. Compensation for land for tower base has not been calculated as it is not mandatory as per ESPP. Any claimant for compensation of tower land has to put up his/her case to the District Collector and only after assessing the impact on that particular family, the DC will decide on the compensation. Total compensation for crops has been estimated at Rs. 9,07,956/- (Rupees Nine Seven Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Six) only. Options for budget have been provided by taking cognizance of the alternative that HVPNL can schedule such as timing of the construction works between two crops, in which case compensation amount payable would be nil.

CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY

1.1 Background The power demand in Haryana on an average has been of the order of 7 to 8% in the past. Now it is in the range of 14% for the state as a whole and between 20-25% in certain pockets like in Gurgaon district. In response to this increasing demand, HVPNL has prepared a comprehensive transmission program that proposes power load growth and evacuation of the proposed capacity addition of power at an estimated cost of Rs. 7643 crore during the 11th Five year plan. Under this program HVPNL will undertake construction of new sub-stations, installations of additional transformers and laying of new transmission lines interlinking of lines of existing substations. The state of Haryana in the northern part of India is located strategically close to the National Capital of India New Delhi, and one third of its area falls within the National Capital Region (NCR). It is bordered by Himachal Pradesh and Punjab to the north and by Rajasthan to south and west. Its borders to Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal in the East are defined by the River Yamuna. The capital of the state is Chandigarh which is administered as a Union Territory and is also the capital of Punjab. 1.2 The Project- HPSIP The proposed project – Haryana Power System Improvement Project (HPSIP), funded by the World Bank, aims to improve the accountability, efficiency and quality of electricity services in Haryana through investments in power supply infrastructure, training/capacity building and technology-transfer, and overall institutional strengthening. Major objectives include improving service delivery; enhancing operational efficiency and institutional capacities. The improvement of service delivery of the transmission company i.e. HVPNL is aimed at by ensuring efficient transmission of additional power to be available within the state over the next 4 years; providing greater grid stability and system security; and by facilitating the transmission to an open access regime within the state. Another important objective, which the project has envisaged includes enhanced operational efficiency and customer service levels in selected geographical areas of Haryana through investments. This project’s third important target is to enhance institutional capacities of three utilities in the transmission lines and distribution sub-sectors through introduction of modern management practices. In this context, the World Bank is supporting the strengthening of transmission system for enhancing reliability and system security as well as to reduce transmission losses, by constructing new sub-stations and transmission lines. The project is being executed by the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL). HVPNL has divided the current phase of work into 13 packages consisting of substations and transmission lines. 1.3 Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited In 1998, the Haryana State Electricity Board (HSEB) was re-organized into State owned corporation namely Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL) for Transmission and Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited (HPGCL). HPGCL was made responsible for operation and maintenance of State’s own power generating stations. HVPNL was entrusted the power transmission and distribution functions. Simultaneously, an independent regulatory body i.e. Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC), was constituted to aid and advise the State Government on the development of the power sector, to regulate the power utilities and take appropriate measures to balance the interest of various stake-holders in the power sector, namely electricity consumers, power entities and generation companies etc.

HVPNL was further reorganized on July 1, 1999 by carving out two more Corporations, namely Utter Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd. (UHBVNL) and Dakshin Haryana Vitran Nigam Ltd. (DHBVNL) with the responsibility of distribution and retail supply of power within their jurisdiction. While UHBVNL is responsible for Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, Panipat, Sonepat, Rohtak, Jhajjar and Jind districts, DHBVN caters to Hisar, Fatehabad, Bhiwani, Sirsa, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Mewat, Rewari and Narnaul districts.

1.4 Package G-6 (Transmission Lines) Under this package, ten transmission lines are proposed. These lines are spread in five HVPNL circles in the state of Haryana. Circle-wise lines are given below sub-packages under Package G-6 as listed below:

1.5 Measures Taken to Minimize Impacts Alignments of transmission lines in rural areas have been finalized in accordance with HVPNL’s R&R policy of avoidance, minimization and alleviation, wherein efforts were made to minimize the adverse impacts of the project, while selecting the route. Criteria considered for selection of optimum route, are the following:

(i) The route of the proposed transmission lines does not involve any human habitation;

(ii) Any monument of cultural or historical importance is not affected by the route of the transmission line;

(iii) The proposed route of transmission line does not create any threat to the survival of any community;

(iv) The proposed route of transmission line does not affect any public utility services such as playgrounds, schools and other establishments;

(v) The line route does not pass through any sanctuaries, National Park, Biosphere reserves or eco-sensitive zones; and

(vi) The line route does not infringe with area of natural resources.

1.6 Objectives of the Study The main objective of the study was to:

identify the impacts of land acquisition and other adverse impacts for various civil works on the people, who own properties to be acquired or used for the project; and

present an action plan for delivery of the compensation and assistance as outlined in the policy to the persons identified as entitled to such assistance.

Scope of the study The scope of the present study is to conduct a survey for these transmission lines for.

a) identifying potentially affected populations with special attention to vulnerable group such as scheduled caste, landless households and women headed/physically handicapped households.

b) gathering information on various categories of losses and other adverse impact likely under the project. These are:

loss of land and other productive assets such as trees; loss of structures, temporary or fixed; loss of access to public services (roads, drinking water, schools, medical, etc); loss of access to common property resources; and disruption of social, cultural, religious or economic ties and networks

1.7 Approach and Methodology Approach and methodology mainly consist of qualitative and quantitative tools and techniques. The study was conducted in three phases. Phase I - Collection and review of documents: This involved collection of documents from client such as walkover survey and relevant topographic maps. This phase was important to scope the activities. It also included preparation of social assessment tools, questionnaires and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) guidelines. The Questionnaires and Checklist for FGDs are presented in the Annexure-E1 & E2. Phase II - Survey Activities: The phase combined field visitg using the walkover survey and holding consultations, in order to assess the impact if any on any private/ community/government assets. The survey team walked along the route to observe and record socially sensitive receptors, current land use and cropping pattern. The survey, assessed the


Page 10

likely impacts of the project, the socio-economic conditions, and living standards of the impacted population. Consultations were held with key informants and the qualitative survey included focus group discussions and in depth interviews with various sections of people such as women, knowledgeable persons, community leaders. It sought to elicit their expectations and suggestions, willingness to contribute, their perceptions of the project and also to convey the likely benefits from the project. Phase III - Post Survey Activities Analysis and Reports: The information collected through structured interviews and questionnaires was systematically validated, analyzed and processed. Wherever required, the observations were supported from the information collected through desk research.

CHAPTER 3 – SELECTION OF TRANSMISSION LINE ROUTE: ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

3.1 Introduction This chapter deals with the selection of optimum route for transmission lines and an overview of the generic anticipated impacts in context of these lines. Following which, it analyses the already finalized alignment for each of the transmission line by comparing it with alternative explored, if any. Wherever, the alternative was not explored, the smallest distance from the two points was taken as another route for the purpose of analysis. It does so by stating the features observed en-route and the resultant potential impacts on features such as: impacts on land, structures properties, common property resources, crops and trees. The impact assessment includes landholding size/cropping pattern/standing crops, estimated impact on crops, anticipated impact on aesthetic appeal of the project affected area. As per the provision contained in Haryana Electricity Reforms Act 1997 & Electricity Act, 2003, HVPNL has authority to install transmission towers in any kind of land. In transmission projects land is not acquired for footing towers. For selection of optimum route and siting of towers, HVPNL exercises certain flexibility, by taking the following criteria into consideration:

The route of the proposed transmission lines does not involve any human habitation; Any monument of cultural or historical importance is not affected by the route of the

transmission line; The proposed route of transmission line does not create any threat to the survival of any

community; The proposed route of transmission line does not affect any public utility services such as

playgrounds, schools and other establishments; The line route does not pass through any sanctuaries, National Park, Biosphere reserves

or eco-sensitive zones; and The line route does not infringe with area of natural resources.

In case of transmission lines in Gurgaon circle, the potential impacts are:

i) Land for footing the transmission towers: The amount of land required for footing2 a tower for 220 kV line and 132 kV line is 49 sqm. (approx. 0.012 acre) and 25 sqm. (approx. 0.006 acre) respectively. As per official estimates a total of 79 towers are to be placed for the transmission line in this circle. A tower is placed every 300-350 meters;

ii) 7 meter Right of Way: The RoW for line through different areas whether it be the agricultural fields or semi-urban areas;

iii) Height: 4.6 metre for a 220 kV tower and 4.0 meter for a 132 kV tower is the minimum clearance between conductors and tops of trees and need to be maintained during the operation stage;

iv) Restrictions imposed on the area under the transmission lines and height of trees and crops, though usage of such land continues as before;

v) Land holding could become unviable, particularly for the vulnerable groups; vi) Damages that occur to standing crops and other trees during construction and

operation; 2 Depending upon the tower type – A or B or C or D used, the area of land required for footing a tower could vary, but is likely to be between 25 sq.m or 49 sq.mtr

vii) Cutting and trimming of trees to maintain the proper clearances in ROW.

3.2 Analysis of Alternatives The survey team walked along the proposed route of the two transmission lines (see Annexure A3 for walkover survey). Details regarding length of the line, with number of villages and towers that required to be footed are provided in Table 3.1 below.

CHAPTER 4 – IMPACT ON LAND AND PERSONS

4.1 Introduction Like any investment in linear projects transmission lines impact inhabitants. This chapter provides details on the potential impacts that have been assessed during the survey and in consultations with the villagers. Socio–economic assessment of the proposed transmission line brought forth three types of impact on affected persons:

1. Agriculture land owner will experience insignificant impact due to tower erection; 2. Agriculture land owner will experience loss of crops during implementation; and 3. Reduced/potential drop in agricultural land rates through which the line is passing.

4.2 Social Impact Assessment of the Proposed Sub-packages 4.2.1 Const. of 132 KV S/C line on D/C tower with 0.4 sq. “ACSR (Zebra) from 220 KV Dhanonda to proposed 132 KV substation Nangal Mohanpur (Mahendragarh) – 11.260 km Impact of footing of towers shall be felt 4 villages namely – Nangal Mohanpur, Jhagroli, Gurha-Kemla, Malra and Dhanonda. The land use is predominantly agricultural with nearly 90% of the area en-routte under cultivation wherein crops such as Mustard and Wheat were observed. Other features road, canal, railway track and barren comprise the balance area. While HVPNL shall and can make efforts to minimize the crop damage by starting the work following the harvest season, it shall not be possible in all cases. Habitations have been avoided as per the policy. It is expected that 36 towers would be laid across the 11.26 km stretch and would have the following impacts in terms of area as given in table 4.1.

4.2.2 Const. of 132 KV S/C line on D/C tower with 0.4 sq “ACSR(Zebra) from 220 kv Dhanonda to proposed 132 KV Sub-station Pali (Gurgaon) – 13.515 km The line starts adjacent to the road between Mahendragarh and Charkhi Dadri and the entire length of the line is falls over the agricultural area. It crosses the road that leads to village Malra as well and near the end of its length it crosses an existing canal. There are a total of 7 villages – Jhook, Dhanonda, Agihar, Malda, Lawan, Pali, Bhagdana and Pathera en-route. Habitations are nearly 3-6 km away on either side of the line and are clearly avoided. Impact on crops is the only impact that shall take place. During the implementation after tower points are fixed, an assessment by the implementing agency will give the exact number of plots impacted and extent of impact in terms of number of PAPs owning the land, particularly on BPL families. 43 towers are expected to be laid across the 13.515 km stretch and would have the following impacts in terms of area as given in table 4.2. As indicated in the table, the entire route passes through agricultural land for nearly 90% of its entire length. Crops observed by the survey team during the visit were Mustard and Wheat.

CHAPTER 5 – STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS

5.1 Introduction Consultation refers to the two-way transfer of information or joint discussion between project staff and the community in concern. It helps identify impacts in general and on vulnerable groups, in particular. It provides some of the details that planners cannot foresee. Besides information provided during such consultations help allay fears and misinformation. Under this package, three sets of consultations were held – with the officials, with Panchayats and community members and with women’s groups. Consultations with officials were carried out to understand the coverage of the lines, the proposed route, the difficulties felt in selecting the most appropriate alignment, criterion adopted therein and the alternative routes explored, if any. Consultations with Panchayat/Village community members were carried out based on the list of issues that were part of the consultation checklist developed (see Annexure E1), and covered a host of issues, such as current land holding, BPL status, education, health, types of crops cultivated, likely employment opportunities, etc in order to assess the impact, identify vulnerabilities and understand their perceptions. Consultations with women’s groups were held to understand their perceptions and understand the variations in their perceptions towards a similar infrastructure development. An attempt was made to understand the current power supply status, development schemes of government and other on-going development work in the village. This chapter presents the summary of consultations held.

5.2 Consultations for Sub-package VII 132 KV S/C line on D/C tower with 0.4 sq. “ACSR (Zebra) from 220 KV Dhanonda to proposed 132 KV substation Nangal Mohanpur (Mahendragarh) – 11.260 Km

Consultations with Officials: Consultants met with Superintending Engineer T/S Circle, Gurgaon, SSE, 220 kV substation, Mahendragarh, Executive Engineer (EE), Civil, Mahendragarh and XEN, T/S Division, Rewari (See Annexure D for List of Officials met). Consultations with officials indicated that the line was one of the two lines that shall begin from Dhanonda sub-station to the proposed 132 kV sub-station at Nangal Mohanpur. Further they indicated that the route of the line shall take it over agricultural fields of village such as Pathera, Jhagroli, Gurha Kemla, Agihar and Dhani. It shall also cross certain other features en-route such as Mahendragarh canal, the Nangal distributory and also a railway line near Gurha Kemla. They indicated that, in particular, sharp deviations have been taken to avoid habitations. In fact the reason for the length of the line to be longer than required is to circumvent the villages of Pathera and Gurha Kemla before terminating at Nangal Mohanpur village. Consultations with Community: Of the villages that fall en-route this line, consultations were held at Gurha Khemla and Pathera villages. Consultations were held with Panchayat members and village community to inform them about the project, understand their view and the benefits that they are likely to receive. Attempt was made to see if the project would impact them positively or negatively. These covered a host of issues such as current land holding, crops sown, land area and holdings, and potential employment opportunities. Agriculture is the primary occupation of the all these villages. Crops such as mustard, wheat and bajra are grown. Electricity supply is only available for about 4-5 hours of power is available in


Page 19

a whole day. Difficulties are faced by many in the village on different aspects such as crop failure due to poor irrigation, studies of children get disrupted due to poor supply. Electrical appliances such as televisions and coolers are non-functional either due to no supply or they are not in working order due to sudden fluctuations. They observed that water is saline and not good for consumption and therefore better water supply is as critical a need just like better power supply. Summers are often difficult as the heat is unbearable. Consultations included information dissemination on the 220 kV line, details on likely period of commencement of construction works; height of the towers; time duration of construction, the ROW that would be required. Other information that were highlighted included the requisite safety norms such as ground clearance of transmission wires from trees/structures, potential restrictions on land use, height of trees were also covered. They were informed of the selection criteria adopted for routing these lines where the overriding principle was to avoid habitations as these were high tension lines.

Other impacts: On impacts, they were informed about the land below the towers, potential depreciation of prices of land, restrictions and other trees that are grown. These included aspects such as trimming of trees for maintenance purposes. They accepted the restrictions on the heights of crops and trees.

They were informed of the process of erecting transmission towers – stubbing, erecting and stringing of wires. It was informed that the process required excavators that remove the earth for footing the four legs of each tower. Movement of equipment shall result in damage to crops particularly if there is no other access available. Whereas attempts shall be made to ensure that such works are taken up during the post harvest season and thereby ensure minimum damage, it would not be possible to do so in all cases. Compensation will be calculated as per the prevalent rates and will be disbursed to the eligible owner of the plot. The villagers in response accepted the information and requested that compensation for crops should be given, though they preferred that such works be taken during the off-season. Safety: They understood this development as necessary to providing the crucial infrastructure of power supply. However, they requested that safety norms be adhered to. They also observed there have been a few instances of a cattle dying because of accidents due to wires, but people have been safe thus far. Perceived benefits: Benefits of the project too were highlighted and majority of the consulted stakeholders stated better power supply would positively impact their lives in many ways and this was a much needed development. They summed it up by saying that in these modern times, electricity is as essential as water and no work is possible without it. They emphasized that the electricity was the key to diversifying beyond agriculture. Among other issues, water supply was a major issue. While some villages stated schools were at a distance, others were satisfied on this account. They indicated that installation of handpumps and deep tubewells have been the outcome of this scarcity which has further depleted the ground water.

Consultations with women: No specific consultations with women were held in villages enroute this line.

5.3 Consultations for Sub-package VIII

132 KV S/C line on D/C tower with 0.4 sq “ACSR(Zebra) from 220 kV Dhanonda to proposed 132 KV Sub-station Pali (Gurgaon) – 13.515 km

Consultations with Officials: Consultants met with Superintending Engineer T/S Circle, Gurgaon, SSE, 220 kV substation, Mahendragarh, Executive Engineer (EE), Civil, Mahendragarh and XEN, T/S Division, Rewari. Officials indicated that the line was other transmission line that shall commence from the Dhanunda station. This line, shall terminate at the proposed 132 kV sub-station at village Pali. The line travels along the existing road and hence no deviations were required as the entire route is adjacent to a road. Habitations or villages of Pathera, Agihar, Buwana, Jhook, Malda are at a 2-3 kms from the line. Consultations with Community: Consultations were held in 4 villages i.e. Pali (site for proposed 132 kV sub-station), Malra, Pathera and Dhanunda (starting point of this line). Consultations were held with Panchayat member and village community to inform them about the project, understand their view and the benefits that they are likely to receive. Attempt was made to see if the project would impact them positively or negatively. These covered a host of issues such as current land holding, crops sown, land area and holdings, and potential employment opportunities. Agriculture is the mainstay of the majority along the proposed route though in the village of Pali, there are many who are employed in the defense services. Mostly crops such as Mustard, Wheat, Bajra and Chana are grown. Problems faced and impact of the project: They reportedly receive only 3-4 hours of power supply in a day. Summer months are very difficult for them particularly as demand for electricity and water – two precious commodities that are essential but are in short supply. It becomes a nightmare to live through the scorching summer months. While they feel the heat within their houses, their cattle feel it even more as they are tied outside and the shade is insufficient. Winter months are better as they can make do with the available power. They reported that when approach officials often sited overload on existing transformers as the reason many a times, but it is something that the government and officials should attend to. A related outcome of this many of the village youths prefer the neighboring towns and cities to work in and even live in. Those in defense services are certainly better off as they are given priority and this is the reason why many from the village have opted for defense services almost like a family tradition. Information dissemination: Consultations included information dissemination on the 220 kV line, details on likely period of commencement of construction works; height of the towers; time duration of construction, the ROW that would be required. Other information that were highlighted include requisite safety norms such as ground clearance of transmission wires from trees/structures, potential restrictions on land use, height of trees were also covered. Villagers were unaware of such projects though they were familiar with the 11 kV lines in the vicinity which brought them power supply in their homes. Information on impacts was also elaborated upon. These included impacts such as on the land below the towers, potential depreciation of prices of land, restrictions on crops and other trees


Page 22

that have been grown in these villages, particularly Pali village. Persons in these villages understood this as part of the development process that the government is carrying on with. However, they requested that two aspects to be ensured i) better power supply to their villages than what they have been receiving before ii) land under towers should be compensated for. They were informed of the process of erecting transmission towers – stubbing, erecting stringing of wires. It was informed that the process required an excavator that removes earth for footing the legs of each tower. Movement of such equipment shall result in damage to crops particularly if there is no other access available. Attempt shall be made to carry out such works during the post harvest season and thereby ensure minimum damage. It might not be possible to do so in all cases. Compensation would be calculated as per the prevalent rates and disbursed to the eligible owner of the plot. The villagers in response accepted the information and requested that compensation for crops be given, though they preferred that such works be taken during the off-season. In addition, any trees that might be cut during construction, these would also be compensated as per applicable rates. Safety: With regard to safety, they observed that there have been a few instances of a cattle dying because of accidents due to wires, but people have been safe thus far. Perceived benefits: Benefits of the project too were highlighted and majority of the consulted stakeholders stated that there were many benefits of power supply and this would significantly positively impact their daily lives. They reckoned that there were very few activities in today’s modern life that could be carried out without power and better power supply would make a major difference in all spheres of life such as education, irrigation, television, etc. They perceived benefits of power to be employment opportunities for other youths who do not wish to join the defense services besides other domestic chores that could be carried out more efficiently with the help of appliances. Consultation with women: Women were consulted in only one village of Pali as in other villages they were at work. These women were wives of many persons working in the defense services. They stated that there was in total of 5-6 hours of electricity. Many houses have electrical appliances for carrying out a range of activities. Drinking water from a govt. source was also available but a distance. They stated poor water supply and inadequate facility for education for children as the two main fall outs of the poor water supply. Water level is low since underground water is the only source of water. Depth of ground water is too a matter of concern because of shortage of other water bodies in the vicinity of the village.

CHAPTER 6 – RESETTLEMENT POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK 6.1 Policy, Legal and Regulatory Framework This section presents the legal requirements of Land Acquisition Policy and the Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy and entitlements for affected families. The legal framework for any project includes process of land acquisition and measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Haryana government had published its R&R policy in 2007. As a result HVPNL has joined a list of other entities in power transmission business to have an Environment and Social Policy and Procedures document. The features of the R&R Policy are indicative of the kind of impacts that have been felt by such companies over many years. HVPNL undertakes its transmission activities within purview of Indian laws keeping in mind appropriate obligations and guidelines of statutory and funding agencies. As per provision contained in Haryana Electricity Reforms Act 1997 & Electricity Act, 2003 Acts, HVPNL has authority to install transmission towers in any kind of land. Electricity Act, 2003 seeks to create a framework for the power sector development by measures conducive to the industry. However, HVPNL integrates environmental protection as a part of its project activities. Power transmission schemes are planned in such a way that the power of eminent domain is exercised responsibly. Mandatory environment requirements for HVPNL transmission works include: Mandatory social requirements for HVPNL transmission works includes Land Acquisition Act 1894, Haryana Government Rehabilitation & Resettlement Policy for land acquisition Oustees and funding agencies requirement like WB OP 4.12 involuntary resettlement, WB OP 4.10 Indigenous People. National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy 2007 has also been consulted while framing the ESPP.

6.2 Procedure for Land Acquisition All land acquisition for any public purpose in the state is governed by the Land Acquisition Act 1894 as amended from time to time by the State Govt. This empowers the government to acquire compulsorily any land not owned by it which is required for a public purpose. The definition of land includes benefits to arise out of land & things attached to earth or permanently fastened to any thing attached to the earth. This act applies to those with legal entitlements to land and structures thereon. (i) For any LA the Act under Section (u/s)-4(1) stipulates publication of a notification to that

effect in the official Gazette and in 2 daily newspapers circulated in the locality, at least, one shall be in the regional language. Such a publication authorizes an authorized officer to enter upon such a land make a preliminary survey ascertain its suitability and determine the exact position of land to be acquired. However, person can enter into any building or any enclosure attached to a dwelling house either by giving notice of seven days to the occupant or with the consent of occupant. The substance of this notification is given as public notice at a convenient place in the locality in which the land to be acquired is located, such a notification provides an opportunity to the parties interested in the land to file objections if any, u/s-5A to the proposed acquisition.

(ii) In order to proceed with the acquisition of the land (as notified u/s-4) it is followed by declaration u/s 6 of the ibid Act specifying that land is required for public purpose. Every declaration is published in the official Gazette and in two daily newspapers with circulation in the local area, thereafter revenue Department issues direction to the Collector u/s-7 of the Act to take order for the acquisition of notified land to be marked


Page 26

out, measured land/or other immovable properties, which is done under the provision of Sec.8 of the act in question. Thereafter under the provisions contained in Sec.-9 notices are served to the concerned persons stating the intention of the Government to take possession of the land and that any claims for compensation should be made to the Collector, Finally, the award of compensation is made by the collector u/s-11 of the Act after inquiring into objections(if any) in pursuance of the notice given u/s-9 to the measurements made u/s-8 and into the value of the land on the date of publication of the notification/s4(1). The award u/s-11 is made within two years from the date of publication of the declaration and if no award is made within this period, the entire proceedings of the LA is lapsed and fresh notification u/s-(4) needs to be initiated. Once the award is passed, the collector takes possession of the land which there upon vests absolutely in the Government free from all encumbrances. However, in case of urgency Section-17 of the Act empowers the Collector to take possession of the land even though no award has been made. Such land thereupon vests with the Government free from all encumbrances.

However, this Act further provides remedy for seeking enhancement of compensation by the person to seek enhancement of compensation in lieu of acquired as per provisions contained in Sec.18 of ibid Act. This act was further amended in 1984 with respect to sections 4,23,28 and 34 which deal with publication of primary notification determination of compensation; power of the court in determining the amount of compensation; interest on compensation and payment of interest respectively. To sum up the amended provisions have resulted in the following:-

The publication of the primary notification, apart from the Official Gazette, has to be made in two daily newspapers circulated in that locality of which at least one shall be in the regional language.

In addition to the market value of the land the court is to award a sum of thirty percent as solatium on such market value in consideration of the compulsory nature of the acquisition.

The amount of compensation awarded by the court is not to be lower than the amount awarded by the collector.

The interest of excess compensation has been enhanced from 9 per cent to 15 per cent after the date of expiry of a period of one year from the date on which possession has been taken.

HVPNL strictly follows procedures laid down under the Land Acquisition Act (LA Act), 1894, when land is acquired for sub-stations. Once the award is passed, the collector takes possession of the land which there upon vests absolutely in the Government free from all encumbrances. These are further reinforced taking into consideration HVPNL’s entitlement framework and public consultation process apart from inbuilt consultation process of LA act, public consultation/information by HVPNL is an integral part of the project implementation. Public is informed about the project at every stage of execution by Press Notes and media etc. During socio-economic survey taken up in parallel with land acquisition process, HVPNL’s site officials meet people and inform them about the Land acquisition details, proposed R&R measures and compensation packages 6.3 World Bank Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) The objectives of the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement are as follows:

Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs.


Page 27

Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs. Providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits.

Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.

Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation whichever is higher.

6.4 HVPNL Environment and Social Policy and Procedures The ESPP of the company has been developed following consideration of all the mandatory requirements of the national and state policies and acts and also the guidelines of funding agencies in addressing the social and environmental issues arising out of its activities. The company is committed to identify, assess, and manage environmental and social concerns at both organization and project levels by strictly following the basic principals of avoidance, minimization and mitigation of environmental & social impacts with the improvement of Management Systems and introduction of State of the Art and proven technologies. The key principles of HVPNL’s social policy are: 1. Avoid any disruption of socially sensitive areas with regard to human habitation and areas of

cultural significance; 2. Wherever losses are suffered, assistance will be provided to the affected persons to improve

or at least regain their living standards; 3. Consultations will be held among local population regarding finalization of proposed route of

the transmission lines and sub-stations; 4. Ensure in delivering R&R entitlements and compensation for lost assets based on HVPNL’s

entitlement framework. 5. Involuntary resettlement will be avoided or minimized by exploring all viable alternative

project designs. 6. All adversely affected persons including those without title to land will be provided

assistance to improve or regain their living standards to the pre project levels. 7. Special attention will be paid for the improvement of living standards of marginalized and

vulnerable groups. 8. If any person’s remaining land holding becomes operationally non viable, the entire holding

will be acquired and compensated accordingly, if the Affected Family (AF) desires. A similar approach will be adopted for structures affected partially.

9. Physical works will not commence on any portion of land before compensation and assistance to the affected population have been provided in accordance with the policy framework.

6.5 Social Entitlement Framework The prescriptive social entitlement framework derives from the aforementioned constitutional directives national R&R Policy, State R&R Policy and relevant policies. Physical displacement of people is not, and will not be, a major consequence of the company’s projects as has been the experience in the case with the other transmission companies. Regardless of displacement occurs, the entitlement framework will be a base for all its management procedures. The objective of the HVPNL’s framework is to ensure realistic rehabilitation and compensation of the acquired assets of the AFs covers categories such as loss of land (Homestead land, agriculture land, tenants, lease holders, encroachers/ squatters etc), loss of structure ( with valid title, tenants, lease holders, squatters, cattle sheds, workshop sheds etc.), loss of livelihood, loss of standing crops/ trees, loss of access to Common Property Resources (CPR) and facilities,


Page 28

losses to host communities, Panchayat land and additional benefits for vulnerable person. Based on review of literature – walkover survey and Topo maps and surveys carried out by the team, it is to be stated that for the transmission lines in Gurgaon circle under Package G-6, the applicable provision shall be relating to the compensation for loss of standing crops. See Table 6.1 that provides HVPNL’s social entitlement framework applicable for all kinds of impacts.

CHAPTER 7 – INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AND GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISMS

7.1 Introduction This section deals with the institutional arrangement and grievance redressal mechanisms as enunciated in the ESPP of HVPNL. These would be applicable to all the sub-stations and transmission lines that get funded under this proposed World Bank project. 7.2 Institutional Framework The company will have three levels of Institutional bodies to oversee and implement ESPP. The bodies are constituted at Head Quarter level; Zonal level; and Divisional Level At Head Quarter Level: Environment, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Committee (ER&R) under the chairmanship of the Director Technical includes the concerned Chief Engineer/TS and CE/P&D HVPN, Panchkula and Deputy Secretary/Projects as the Committee members. Deputy Secretary/Projects will be the Member Secretary of the R&R committee At Zonal Level: The Environment and Social Monitoring Committee (ESMC) constitute of concerned Chief Engineer/TS , concerned Superintendent Engineer/TS, concerned Executive Engineer/TS, Land Acquisition officer and two representatives of the AFs and ESMC would report to Director Technical, HVPNL, Panchkula At Divisional Level: In addition to above, Environment and Social Implementation unit (ESIU) will be there consisting of Executive Engineer/TS and SSE/SDO/Construction of concerned place. The role and functions of the ER&R, ESMC and ESIU include but are not limited to:

Coordinate among the various agencies involved in implementation of the ESPP programs

Monitor and review implementation of the ESPP plans Function as a grievance redressal body; and Provide overall guidance and leadership for smooth implementation of the resettlement

and rehabilitation plans To ensure effective implementation of ESPP, HVPNL focuses on

strengthening the implementation of the ESPP by redeployment of appropriately trained persons at key levels

reinforcing in house capabilities by working with specialized external agencies reviewing progress of the ESPP internally or through external agencies

7.3 Social Procedures HVPNL has developed comprehensive Environmental and Social (E&S) Management Procedures and incorporated them to its project cycle, to ensure that its operation eliminates or minimizes adverse environmental and social impacts. The E&S management procedures identifies the relevant issues at early stages of project cycle and follow the basic philosophy of sustainable development through Avoidance, Minimization and Mitigation.


Page 33

HVPNL’s project cycle forms the operational framework and background through which the environment & social issues are addressed. Key milestones in HVPNL’s transmission projects include project conceptualization; planning; approval; design; tendering; implementation and operation; and maintenance. 7.3.1 Project Conceptualization During project conceptualization, HVPNL identifies the project. Identification of a power transmission project is on the basis of demand and supply in regions and links between new power generating projects and availability of state’s quota of power from the Powergrid. HVPNL carries out feasibility studies encompassing demand for energy, prioritizing for different sectors and regions, environmental and social impact assessment; economic and financial analysis; and an implementation schedule. During feasibility studies, HVPNL identifies and weight various line options on a survey map such that there is shortest distance between origin of the proposed transmission line and the substations sites. At all times, while considering line options, HVPNL keeps in view its policy of avoidance of socially (including environmentally) sensitive areas. 7.3.2 Project Planning During project planning, HVPNL carries out a Reconnaissance survey. A number of alternatives are studied to minimize possible environmental impacts of transmission line. Adequate care is taken in the route alignment to avoid forests and areas of natural resources completely, if not possible, allow to traverses minimally. The planning exercise also ensures that the route does not involve human habitation and areas of cultural importance. Field officers verify critical issues e.g. river, hill, railway crossings; power and telephone lines etc. and finalize the optimal route on the map. Once the route is finalized, HVPNL, will carry out a Environment & Social Assessment with its own field staff and prepare a Environment & Social Impact Assessment. Based on the assessment and the provisions under ESPP, HVPNL will formulate an EMP (Environment Management Plan & Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) in consultation with AFs. HVPNL considers various sites for substations. On the basis of data for various parameters considered during selection process, a comprehensive analysis for each alternative site will be carried out. Weightage will be given to various parameters for finalizing alternative sites which are often site specific. Due consideration is given to availability of infrastructure facilities such as access roads, railheads etc. type of land viz. government, revenue, private, agriculture, environment and social impacts such as number of families affected as well as cost of compensation and rehabilitation. 7.3.3 Operation and Maintenance HVPNL continuously monitors the transmission lines and substations. The lines are patrolled regularly to identify any defects in the components. Monitoring of the line is carried out by the respective HVPNL field offices. 7.3.4 Project Review The social components of the project will be reviewed by the ESMU of HVPNL on regular basis.

7.4 Capacity Building Training and development of employees is integral to implementation of ESPP. In the beginning, training would be imparted to the executive/non-executive from NPTI/PGCIL so as to enable them to understand the ESPP document, to take necessary steps in right time to implement.


Page 34

It is recommended that the HVPNL carries out periodic orientation and refresher courses that comprise of social and environmental issues applicable to such projects. Content of these courses should also comprise of the mitigation measures that are required to be adopted in the case of sub-stations and transmission line projects.

7.5 Grievance Redress Mechanism It is expected that through a participatory process and good compensation and support mechanisms, acceptance of the project will be enhanced and complaints reduced. In case of issues related to land acquisition, the LA Act provides adequate provisions at different stages of the LA process for the AFs to object to the proposed acquisition of land and other properties, compensation rates, etc. The LA Act also allows the affected persons to receive the compensation under protest and then refer the case to the court for settlements. However ESMC at the Zonal Level will hear complaints and facilitate solutions. If the grievance is not redressed at zonal level, the affected person can appeal to the Environment R&R committee at Corporate level. He/she can further appeal to the court if his/her grievance is not redressed at either zonal or corporate level. In addition to the proposed grievance redressal under the ESPP, it is recommended that another level of grievance redressal be added at the Division level to help record complaints. The advantage of such a mechanism would be receive, and forward it to the ESMC at Zonal level for redressal. Past experiences in other such and other infrastructure projects too indicate handling of issues at lowest possible level have proved more effective than if they are let to scale up.

CHAPTER 8 – BUDGET ESTIMATES

8.1 Introduction This chapter presents the cost and budget for implementation of RRAP. The costs used for the budget are based on information collected during the site visit and also from the revenue department. It is suggested that during implementation, an independent assessment should determine the cost and accordingly the budget be modified.

8.2 Compensation Compensation for Land: The land required for footing of 79 towers shall require marginal amount of land as stated earlier. This land would not be compensated for as per the Electricity Act, 1948. Titleholder(s) affected by transmission towers in urban/ rural areas may approach to the District Collector for compensation for the loss of land. The DC will assess his/ her economic condition and decide the case as per the provisioning of works of Licenses Rules 2006. Compensation for damage to crops: Though attempts shall be made to minimize the damage to crops by planning the construction work in such a way that harvest is completed, ensuring this would not be possible in all cases. Besides, movement of machinery would cause damage to crops. Compensation shall be as per the Land Acquisition Act. The quantum of crops damaged will be assessed by collecting per acre yield figure of that crop in that area from Tehsildar (Revenue) and the equivalent amount of damaged crops will be calculated by ascertaining rate/quintal from the office of the Secretary Market Committee of the concerned area. There is a standard proforma (See Annexure E3 for Format) that the villager needs to fill in and obtain signatures from Sarpanch of the village and also from Patwari. Compensation would be calculated as per the prevalent rates and disbursed to the eligible owner of the plot. A list of crops yield per acre and applicable rates is attached as Annexure C23 and this would form the basis for compensation. Estimate for the loss of crops has been made on the basis of field visits, observations and site assessment. Compensation for loss of trees: After the finalization of tower bases and transmission line route, the Contractor/executing agency shall enumerate the trees lost and compensate based on the rates released by Haryana Van Vikas Nigam Limited (Govt. of Haryana) and that are effective since July 2008. See Annexure C2 for list. This list provides zone wise prices for different types of trees such as Safeda, Paplar, Khair, Shisham, Kikar, Mango, etc. department. It is to be noted that PAPs shall be notified of any revision to these rates shall and be compensated accordingly.

8.3 Budget and Costs HVPNL’s ESPP provides the legal framework to establish eligibility criteria for entitlements and other forms of assistance. Based on this framework two budget options for implementation of RRAP have been presented below. Option 1: It includes the cost of compensation for ‘current’ standing crops based on the ROW calculated, net crop area, yield per acre for different types of crops and market (harvest) rates. (See Annexure C2 for rates of crops and trees). Yield per acre for other crops too have been

Page 37

provided as it can be used to calculate cost of standing crops as identified at the time of construction. Option 2: An alternative budget too has been provided by taking cognizance of the option that HVPNL can exercise such as timing the construction works between two crops, in which case the compensation payable would be nil. Table 8.1 & 8.2 presents separate budget estimates for the two sub-packages.

CHAPTER 9 – IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

9.1 Introduction This section deals with the implementation schedule for the RRAP for the two transmission lines that cross areas in Mahendgarh district of Haryana. The breakdown of each activity according to a specific time frame has been provided in the Implementation Schedule. Implementation Schedule will require detailed coordination between the project authority – HVPNL and other relevant line departments. Key issues in implementation are likely to be the following:

(i) Census Survey by contractor – enumeration of tower land owner and standing crops (ii) Clearance of any claim for compensation for land acquired for footing of towers as per

The Works of Licensees Rules, 2006.

9.2 Tasks and Schedule Implementation schedule has been spread over a period of 1 to 1-1/2 years in respect of these ten transmission lines that are expected to complete in terms of construction and running. Construction works on different sub-packages are likely to commence at different points of time over the project period. Therefore a list of implementation activities in sequence have been indicated which shall continue over the project period. Activities in sequence

Census Survey by contractor – enumeration of tower land owner Estimation of standing crop Finalization of Affected persons & Final notification Clearance of any claim as per Workers License Act 2006 Compensation

After compensation, the construction activities may begin. Activities such as disclosure of project information, redressal of grievances and dissemination of safety measures shall continue throughout the project period.
