7. CONCLUSlON AND RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 Conclusions

Contractor has moved and civil works have started at Fortabbas, Faqirwali, Dahranwala

and chak 83/12-L subproject sites. Surveys are being conducted to get the transmission

lines route finalized. Contractors have been asked to implement the environment and

social management plan. Contractor was akd directed to make sure the provision and

use of all safety gadgets/PPEs. Onsite orientation/training session was arranged for the

use of PPEs. They were also instructed to take into the account of local norms and

values.

7.2 Recommendations

From the findings of the Monitoring Visits„ the following mitigation measures are

proposed to be implemented in order to minimize any potentially significant impacts:

• It is also recommended that the process of communication and consultation with

the community representatives is aggressively maintained.

• Construction work of new T/lines should be planned in accordance with LARPs"

and DDRs to minimize the affect of construction activities.

• Site should restore properly after the completion of construction activities.

• Proper housekeeping can avoid littering.

• To avoid any accident contractor should make the use of PPEs compulsory.

• Timely compensation to the affected persons can avoid any hindrance and may

lead towards in time execution of the project.'

• d 6:so oboorqed thr:t contrac(or(s),does not give to environmental and

social aspects and considered it unnecessary burden over them

• All pertinent bills with reference to EMP management should be vetted by the

Environmental and Social Safeguard section after on site verification.
