EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
1. The 26 Megawatt Shagarthang Hydropower Project is proposed to be financed by the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) under Renewablele Energy Development Sector Investment Program
(REDSIP) through a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF). The REDSIP aims to contribute in the
economic development of Pakistan through increased production and use of clean energy. This Land
Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) has been prepared in accordance with ADB‟s Safeguard
Policy Statement (SPS 2009), the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) prepared for
the Program and applicable national laws. The LARP sets out the objectives, involuntary resettlement
policy principles, eligibility criteria and entitlements, public consultations and grievance redress
mechanisms and compensation disbursement and LARP implementation schedule.
Project Components
2. The proposed 26 MW Shagarthang Hydropower Project is located on right bank of Kachura
Lungma (stream), District Skardu which is about 50 km from the Skardu city.The Kachura lungma is a
left tributary of the Indus River with its confluence located about 40 km northwest of Skardu. The
project facilities will consist of a weir intake, a connecting channel, a de-silting basin, a daily storage
pond, a spill channel, an approach channel, a headrace tunnel, a powerhouse, a tailrace channel, a
surge tank, a penstock, transmission line and a grid station. To facilitate construction activities, partial
widening and surface improvement of an existing road is also part of the project.
Compensation, Eligibility and Entitlements
3. All project impacts/losses are entitled to cash compensation at current market rate and
resettlement allowances in line with SPS policy requirements and the LARF. The matrix indicate only
the actual project impacts/losses.

Dumping Sites Acre 3.000 - - - 3.000
Total Acre 15.28 21.680 3.03 2.485 42.475
5. Other than land, the project will also affect 2.073 acres farmland comprising crops, a total
of 1150 fruit and shade/wood trees, and 62 structures of different types including 5 shops made up of
stone masonry with mud roofing measuring 102.91 square meter, boundary wall 740.71 cubic meter
and agriculture/livestock sheds measuring 160.50 square meter. Based on these land and non-land
impacts, the project will impact a total of 110 families with a total of 1196 family members.
6. Nonetheless, the project will not affect any residential house. All AFs are Muslim and
ethnically Balti and Shina speaking. As they have a similar livelihood and same culture of peoples
residing in other parts of Baltistan therefore, they are neither tribal nor minority people. The ADB‟s
Policy on Indigenous People, as specified in the SPS 2009, is not triggered.
Significance of Impact
7. The project impacts are insignificant in nature, as none of AFs is losing equal to or more
than 10% (except one) income generating assets including land and non-land assets. There is no
restriction on use of and access to land and other income generating resources and no residential
houses will be impacted. All project impacts will be compensated at current market rate including
replacement value for affected assets. To sum up, none of 110 AFs will experience any significant
impacts. Therefore, the project has been categorized as “B” and accordingly this land acquisition and
resettlement plan (LARP) has been prepared for implementation.
Public Consultation and Disclosure
8. A public consultation program and census survey held earlier in April, May & June, 2008
was followed up in Sep, 2011, when the project consultant team assessed the correctness of the
inventory of affected assets subject to final verification by the Revenue Department. The staff of land
revenue department together with PMU and consultant staff have finalized the inventory of affected
assets and actual demarcation on the respective sites. The District Land Collector has been asked to
initiate the process of compensation accordingly the DLC announced the cut-of-date with imposing
section 4 of LAA 1894 on March 14,2012. (Notification of Section-4 from DLC Skardu is attached as
Appendix-7)
9. A summary of LARP will be translated into Urdu and displayed to AFs at various locations
in the project area specially in Kachura Bazar,Soq Primary School and Primary School at Staqchan
villages. In addition the translated summary will be displayed at Project Director (PD) office , local
Union Councils and will be posted on ADB website and project websites. Gilgit Baltistan (GB) WPD
will be responsible to ensure that LARP as a public document is available to the affected communities
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
ES - 3
for the duration of the project. During consultation meetings, AFs were thoroughly informed in Balti
and Shina local languages on the results of the census and inventory of impacts and their preferences
on compensation. The concerns and issues raised by AFs have been documented in this LARP.
Further consultations will be continued during the implementation of the LARP.
Institutional Arrangements
10. A Project Management Unit (PMU) office has been established in Skardu headed by
Project Director and has been entrusted with the responsibility of the overall management of the
project. The PMU will carry out the implementation of the compensation program at local level. An
Environment and Social Development Cell (ESDC) will be established in project coordination office
to steer the process in organizing and implementing the delivery of compensation provisions in
collaboration with the Land Revenue Department (LRD). The PMU will internally monitor and report to
the PCU at Gilgit on LARP implementation. The PCU will report to ADB monthly or quarterly, as
required.
Grievance Redress
11. Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) will be established at the project level with the
primary objective of providing a mechanism to mediate conflict and disputes concerning
compensation payments to avoid lengthy litigation. The function of the GRC will be to provide support
to AFs on problems arising out of their land and property acquisition; record the grievance of the AFs,
categorize and prioritize the need to be resolved by the Committee; and report to the aggrieved
parties about the development regarding their grievances and the decision of the project authorities.
LARP Budgeting
12. The total estimated cost of this LARP including compensations for the affected Land, crops,
structures and trees (with 15% compulsory acquisition surcharge and 10% contingency) has been
estimated as Rs. 10.53 million. Project component wise summary of LARP Budget is as follows;

LARP Implementation
13. Physical project implementation works can only commence upon completion of
compensation measures. The entire project will be implemented in following three stages:
i) Widening of Access Road and Contractor’s Camp
14. At this stage for widening of existing access road truck-passing areas (39 crossing points)
at every 200-m between Kachura and Soq, as well as from starting point up to SCO exchange will be
constructed. The land will be handed over to contractor on signing of the contract after completion of
all payments and submission of a monitoring report to ADB.The already designated and identified
government land which is free of liabilities will also be provided to contractor for a site camp.
ii) Construction of weir, channel, tunnel and powerhouse
15. Upon submission and approval of the Contractor‟s design for weir intake, connecting
channel, power channel, daily storage pond, tunnel, surge tank, penstock powerhouse and tailrace
the GBWPD will conduct a due diligence and update the LARP if there were any changes or variation
between feasibility design and contractors design and acquire the land. The land will be handed over
to the contractor after completion of all payments and submission of a monitoring report to ADB.. The
process of due diligence and LARP revision will take place simultaneously with widening of the road.
By the time the road is widened and machinery is mobilized the land for Project structures from weir to
powerhouse will be handed over to the contractor.
iii) Transmission Line
16. The 66 kV power transmission line is proposed to transfer the electrical power of 26 MW
Shagharthang Hydropower Project over a distance of 30 Km to the proposed 66 kV grid station at
Gamba Skardu. The EPC contractor will submit a field map of towers and RoW of Transmission line
which would be followed by the EA. The LARP will again be updated on the basis of actual design of
EPC Contractor for land acquisition.
Monitoring and Evaluation
17. A monitoring and evaluation system will be established to assess LAR progress and to
identify potential difficulties and problems during project implementation. Regular monitoring will be
conducted internally by GBWPD through PMU
.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. BACKGROUND
1. The Renewable Energy Development Sector Investment Program (REDSIP) is proposed to
be financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF).
The proposed investments in renewable energy are aimed to contribute in the economic development
of Gilgit Baltistan (GB) through increased production and use of clean energy in a financially
sustainable manner. The first tranche of the MFF that included small to medium hydropower projects
in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab are now under implementation.
2. ADB is facilitating the Government of Pakistan (GOP) in the process of preparing a
proposal under the third tranche of REDSIP, for the development of hydropower projects (HPP) in
Gilgit Baltistan (GB) on Kachura Lungma (stream) in Skardu District and on Thak Nullah in Diamer
District. The projects identified under 3rd
tranche of the MFF for the investment program (REDSIP) will
closely follow the ADB operational policies regulating MFF procedures and conditions and applicable
laws and regulations of Pakistan.
3. This LARP has been updated by Gilgit Baltistan Water and Power Department (GBWPD)
in line with ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS 2009) to avoid involuntary resettlement
impacts, and or minimize and mitigate such impacts, if these cannot be avoided. The LARP provides
a framework within which the households and communities adversely affected are identified, their
location and assets are recorded, the compensation measures are defined and the implementation
process is explained. The compensation entitlements provided in this LARP requires compensation to
be paid to the AFs at current market rate/replacement values. Such compensation and livelihood
restoration or resettlement allowances are envisaged to improve or at least restore the AFs pre-
project living standards.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
4. The proposed Shagharthang HPP project is situated at the middle stretch of Kachura
Lungma (Figure 1). The proposed site is on the right bank of Kachura Lungma, about 50 km from the
Skardu city. Kachura Lungma is a left tributary of the Indus River with its confluence located about 40
km northwest of Skardu. The proposed project is a run-of-river design with a planned capacity to
generate 26 MW of electricity. The project facilities will consist of a weir intake; a connecting channel,
a desilting basin, a daily storage pond, a spill channel, an approach channel, a headrace tunnel; a
powerhouse; a tailrace channel; a surge tank; a penstock; transmission lines and a grid station. To
facilitate construction activities, partial widening and surface improvement of an existing road is also
part of the project.
5. Weir: The weir intake is proposed to be constructed just downstream of
wooden bridge on Shagharthang Lungma near Staqchan village. A 1,000 year return period flood of
327 m3/sec is planned to pass over a 3m high and 45m wide concrete overflow weir with crest level of
3,225m amsl and maximum surcharge of 2.42m. For energy dissipation 17m long stilling basin has
been proposed.

Figure 1: Project Location
6. Headrace Tunnel: Tunnel has horseshoe shape having 3.4 m width, 3.4 m height and
length of 5,760 m from inlet. It has design capacity of 4.60 m3/s and act as low pressure tunnel. It will
be concrete lined with slope of 1:1000.
7. Daily Storage Pond: To produce 26MW during winter months, the daily flows need to be
stored during off-peak hours and used for power generation during peak hours. Before start of
headrace tunnel, a daily storage pond (150m x 40m x 6m deep) has been proposed with an effective
storage capacity of 35,000 m3. This storage would provide additional flows of 2.43 m
3/sec during peak
hours, so that designed capacity of 26MW can be produced during winter months. The whole
structure would be concrete with proper wall and floor thickness. It is observed that storage of pond
35,000 m3 can be utilized for four hours taking 2.43 m
3/sec of water in addition to the perennial flow
during winter.
8. Penstock: A penstock is a steel pipe to convey the water from surge tank to powerhouse.
To convey a design discharge of 4.6 m3/s, penstock pipe has been proposed. The flow in the pipe is
pressure flow. The initial 35 m of penstock would be through horizontal portion of tunnel and the rest
of 1,315 m length would be supported/ embedded.
9. Tailrace Channel: The flow from powerhouse will be disposed off through a tailrace
channel into the Kachura nullah. The proposed length of tailrace is 35 m. It has a rectangular section
of 3.0 m wide and 2.0 m high. The bed slope of channel will be 1:500 and the velocity of flow is 1.80
m/s. The depth of water level will be kept at 1.6 m for full discharge. The tailrace will join the
nullah at an elevation of 2,546 m.

10. Power Plant: The main components of Shagharthang HPP is powerhouse ,would be
developed on abandoned unencumbered government land. The permanent land acquisition for the
power plant is 0.741 acres .
11. Tower Foundations: Shagharthang Powerhouse will be connected to the proposed grid
station at Sondus, Skardu by a 66 kV transmission line. The average distance between the towers will
be 300m. A total of 97 steel towers will be installed for the 30-km transmission line. Each tower will
have a foundation of about 25 m². Thus a total of 0.582 acres of land will need acquisition for the
tower foundations.
12. Grid Station: The 66 kV line of Shagarthang HPP will be linked to the proposed grid station
at Sondus, Skardu. The proposed grid station at Skardu will be constructed in the private land which
is a sandy undulating terrain and lying barren at present. Permanent land acquisition of a total of 0.22
acres will be acquired and compensated at current market rate/replacement value fixed by DLC.
13. Access Road: The existing access road to the project site is identified as a katcha /
jeepable track. About 23 km long road off-takes from the Skardu-Rawalpindi road near the Kachura
village, requires up-gradation of katcha track as it is a single lane, winding, tortuous and rough
angular gravel-boulder track resulting in a bumpy and bouncy ride. The road starts from Lower
Kachura village, passes near the Shangrila Resort and then running along the Kachura Lungma,
snakes through Upper Kachura, Soq Village and then leads to weir site. The first 10-km of the road,
from Kachura to Soq village, is relatively in good condition. It has a width of 5 m. The remaining 13 km
of the road, from Soq to Staqchan is dilapidated; the surface is rocky without any compaction and the
width at places is less than 3 m. The road beyond Soq village becomes inaccessible during winter
months due to snowfall. The present width of the existing road and its surface conditions are not
suitable to transport material and supplies for the construction of the proposed project.
14. Transmission Line: A total of 97 towers will be erected for 30 km transmission lines that
will traverse from Shagharthang to Sondus in Skardu town. The land to the extent of 11.77 acres will
be acquired temporarily and compensated accordingly. Crops cultivation within the corridor can
continue after the stringing of lines has taken place. During stringing operations it is anticipated that
installation will affect only negligible small area of private seasonal agricultural crops. The detailed
census survey of agricultural land, grassland and wasteland affected permanently/ temporarily will be
finalized after the approval of final design submitted by the EPC contractor.

II. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
A. PAKISTAN’S NATIONAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS
1. THE LAND ACQUISITION ACT, 1894
15. The Government of Pakistan‟s current legislation governing land acquisition for public
purposes is the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1894 with successive amendments. The LAA regulates
the land acquisition process and enables the Federal and Provincial Governments to acquire private
land for public purposes. Land acquisition is a provincial subject and each province has its own
interpretation of the Act, and some have their own province specific implementation rules and
regulations.
16. The LAA specifies a systematic approach for acquiring and compensation of land and other
properties for development project. It stipulates various sections pertaining to notifications, surveys,
acquisition, compensation and apportionment awards and disputes resolution, penalties and
exemptions. The LAA under eminent domain deals with the matters related with acquisition of private
land and other immovable properties existing on the land for the public purpose. The public purpose,
inter alia, includes the construction of development project of public interest.
17. The LAA with its successive amendments provides a framework for facilitating land
acquisition and enables the State government to acquire private land for public purposes. The LAA is
the most commonly used law for acquisition of land and other properties for development projects. It
comprises of 55 sections pertaining to preliminary area notifications and surveys, acquisition,
compensation and apportionment awards and disputes resolution, penalties and exemptions. The
steps involved in the process of land acquisition along with time line for different sections given by the
DLC Skardu vide letter No.DK-1(1)/2012-SHPP dated March 16,2012 are attached as Appendix-8.

18. The framework of the LAA is generally considered to be constricted in scope and
inadequately take into account the rehabilitation and resettlement of displaced populations and
restoration of their livelihoods. The LAA also does not specifically provide any assistance for the poor,
vulnerable or severely affected DPs, nor does it cover for livelihood losses or resettlement costs for
rehabilitation. Generally, it is limited to cash compensation policy for the acquisition of land and built-
up property, and damage to other assets such as crops, trees, and infrastructure. In addition, the Law
does not cover DPs without titles or ownership records such as squatters or roadside encroachers the
LAA procedures do not entail the consultation and participation of affected people, but leave the entire
process to the discretion of the revenue department and implementing agency. In order to fill the
vacuum, currently some transient measures are taken to compensate adversely affected non-titled
people, non-registered tenants, businesses and wage workers under project specific arrangements for
their rehabilitation, payment of resettlement costs and assistance for livelihood restoration.
2. THE TELEGRAPH ACT (TA) OF 1910
19. The Telegraphic Act (1910) was promulgated during the British period to define the
authority of Telegraph Department for installing and stringing. After the partition the act was further
broadened to include electric poles and towers. Originally, in the Act there was no provision of land
compensation except for crop compensation, however, it was ensured that land under the
transmission lines is accessible and can be used productively. Water and Power Development
Authority (WAPDA) has been installing the transmission lines and towers and the provision of land
compensation was extended following the inclusion of transmission towers. The Telegraphic Act could
accommodate DPs needs by avoiding loss of land in Gilgit Baltistan through the use of towers with
maximum vertical clearance to allow the continuation of unrestricted animal grazing and farming.
B. ADB’S SAFEGUARD POLICY STATEMENT AND RESETTLEMENT PRINCIPLES
20. The policy principles and objectives are shown below with the key principles highlighted in
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 6 -
bold. When land other than government owned land is to be acquired then a Land Acquisition and
Resettlement Plan (LARP) is required.
Involuntary Resettlement Safeguards (ADB SPS, 2009)
Objectives: To avoid involuntary resettlement wherever possible; to minimize involuntary
resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; to enhance, or at least restore, the
livelihoods of all displaced persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and to improve the
standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.
Scope and Triggers: The involuntary resettlement safeguards covers physical displacement
(relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land,
assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary
acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks
and protected areas.
Policy Principles:
1. Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement
impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census
of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts
and risks.
2. Carry out meaningful consultations with displaced persons, host communities, and
concerned non- government organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements
and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring
and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable
groups, especially those below the poverty line. These include the landless, the elderly, women
and children. Specific safeguards cover Indigenous People, including those without statutory title
to land, including those having communal rights, and ensure their participation in consultations.
Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the displaced
persons' concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host
population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive,
compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase.
3. Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (i) land-based
resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based and where it is possible to give
cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine
livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii)
prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv)
additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where these are
possible.
4. Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including
the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at
resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities,
integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and
extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development
assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities;
and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required.
5. Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups,
including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal
and affordable access to land and resources and in urban areas provide them with appropriate
income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing.
6. Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 7 -
through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements
will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status.
7. Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to
land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land
assets.
8. Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons' entitlements, the income and
livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework,
budget, and time-bound implementation schedule,
9. Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a
timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s)
understandable to displaced persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the resettlement plan and
its updates to displaced persons.
10. Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or
program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project's costs and benefits.
For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the
involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation.
11. Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or
economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout
project implementation.
12. Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of
displaced persons and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by
taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of the resettlement monitoring.
13. Disclose monitoring reports.
Source: ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009.
21. The above principles will apply to the Shagharthang LARP to ensure that persons affected
by land acquisition are eligible for appropriate compensation and rehabilitation assistance. Detailed
criteria, procedures and modus operandi for the implementation of these principles applicable to the
project have been provided in sections below.
C. COMPARISON OF LAA AND ADB POLICY PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES AND GAP
FILLING MEASURES
22. The land acquisition and resettlement aspects have been compared with respect to the
Pakistan Land Acquisition Act (1894) and the ADB policy principles and are presented in the following
Table 2. The objective of this exercise is to identify the differences and gaps between the ADB SPS
and Pakistan‟s LAA 1894. The key ADB Policy Principles are (i) the need to screen the project early
on the planning stage, (ii) carry out meaningful consultation, (iii) at the minimum restore livelihood
levels to what they were before the project, improve the livelihoods of displaced vulnerable groups (iv)
prompt compensation at full replacement cost is to be paid (v) provide displaced people with adequate
assistance, (vi) ensure that displaced people who have no statutory rights to the land that they are
working and eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for the loss of non-land assets and
(vii) disclose all reports.
Project specific resettlement issues have been addressed to assist non-titled persons, and bridge the
gap between existing practice and the main guidelines of SPS with regard to land acquisition and
resettlement. To reconcile the inconsistencies between the LAA and SPS, the government has drafted
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project

this LARP. Provision of compensation at replacement cost, allowances will be given for affected
households (DHs), suffer business losses, or may be vulnerable.
Table 2: Comparison of LAA and ADB Policy and Gap Filling Measures
Land Acquisition Act 1894 SPS 2009 and Gap Filling Measures
Only titled landowners or customary rights
holders are recognized for compensation.
Lack of title should not be a bar to resettlement and
rehabilitation support. Requires equal treatment of
those without clear land titles (for example, squatters
or other informal settlers) in terms of their
entitlements for resettlement assistance and
compensation for the loss of non-land assets.
Only registered landowners, sharecroppers and
lease holders are eligible for compensation of
crop losses.
Crop compensation is to be provided irrespective of
the land registration status of the affected
farmer/share cropper.
Tree losses are compensated based on
outdated officially fixed rates by the relevant
forest and agriculture departments.
Tree losses are to be compensated according to
market rates based on productive age or wood
volume, depending on tree type.
Application of emergency procedure section
17/4. Revenue department may apply this
section based on a request by the acquiring
department. There is no specific timeline for
paying the compensation.
Section 17 does not comply with the SPS.
Negotiated Purchase, no LARP required.
Procedures available through instructions and
agreement signed.
Prepare LARP in accordance with the provisions
detailed in the SPS (2009).
Land valuation is based on the median
registered land transfer rate over the 3 years
prior to Section 4 of the LAA being invoked. A
15% compulsory acquisition charges are paid
over and above the assessed compensation.
However, recent practice is that prices based
on the average over the last one year prior to
acquisition commencing is applied. Provinces
have also issued instructions for assessing
compensation to ensure displaced persons
receive compensation at market price.
Replacement cost surveys undertaken by the EA
and shared with assessors when determining
compensation.
The valuation of structures is based on official
rates, with depreciation deducted from gross
value of the structure and also 15% of the value
of salvaged materials.
The valuation of built-up structures is based on
current market value but with consideration of the
cost of new construction of the structure, with no
deduction for depreciation.
The decisions regarding land acquisition and
the amounts of compensation to be paid are
published in the official Gazette and notified in
accessible places so that the people affected
are well informed.
Carry out consultations to inform potentially
displaced persons about the likely impacts,
finalization of award and payment of compensation.
Disclose draft LARPs and their updates, as
applicable.

SPS 2009
23. Project specific resettlement issues have been addressed to assist non-titled persons, and
bridge the gap between existing practice and the main guidelines of SPS with regard to land
acquisition and resettlement. To reconcile the inconsistencies between the LAA and SPS, the
government has drafted this LARP. Provision of compensation at replacement cost, allowances will be
given for affected households (DHs), suffer business losses, or may be vulnerable.

i.e Rs. 7000/month to support and improve their livelihoods including, a
guaranteed job during construction and a permanent job during the operations
phase.
C. ENTITLEMENT MATRIX
27. Based on the inventory of losses, the Entitlement Matrix outlined below in Table 3 is
applicable to the project. It reflects the core IR principles to ensure AFs of their entitlements. The
entitlement matrix is not exhaustive and more entitlements will be added if any resettlement impact
not listed in the matrix is identified during project detailed design.
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 12 -
Table 3: Entitlement Matrix
D. VALUATION OF AFFECTED ASSETS AND UNIT COST FOR COMPENSATION
28. In accordance with the resettlement policy for the project, all AFs will be entitled to a
combination of compensation measures and resettlement assistance, depending on the nature of
ownership rights of their lost assets and scope of the impacts. The following methodology has been
adopted for the assessment of unit values for assets to be compensated:
(i) Land acquired for the project has been valued at the replacement cost of land of
approximately equal type and quality determined through replacement cost
survey for the period of last three years preceding the cut-off date for the project.
Since there is no sale or purchase of land in the area so no three years record is
available. However, District land Collector has proposed new land acquisition
rates for 2012 which are deemed to be approved. A copy of proposed rates is
attached as Appendix 2.
(ii) Buildings and other structures have been valued based on precise
measurement and record of type, quality and measurement of materials and has
been calculated based on replacement cost (i.e., cost of new building materials
and labor) with no depreciation for age and deduction for salvageable materials,

29. Unit Compensation Rates for Land: Deputy Commissioner Skardu (DC) who is also
District Land Collector has filed a letter to the secretary law and prosecution, Gilgit Baltistan for
revision of land acquisition rates for the year 2012 on February 15, 2012. The proposed rates quoted
in the letter are Rs. 240,000/- per kanal for cultivated land, Rs. 200,000/- per kanal for uncultivated
land in Kachura and Qumra. The cost of uncultivated land proposed for grid station in Sundus is
Rs.250,000/- per kanal. The copy of the letter for revised rates is placed in Appendix -2 These rates
have been approved by the competent authority (Chief Secretary GB).
30. Unit Compensation Rates for Various Structures: Approval of final unit rates for various

IV. ASSESSMENT OF IMPACTS
32. This chapter discusses the impacts due to the project interventions. The assessment of the
projects impacts on land, structures, crops, trees and business loss has been made by well trained
and experienced team comprising sociologist, environmentalist, ecologist, civil engineer and
resettlement expert during census survey conducted in September 2011.
A. STRATEGY FOR LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT MINIMIZATION
33. In line with the ADB SPS 2009, alignment of the access road was adjusted to avoid or to
minimize impacts especially wherever possible. The following specific actions will be applied to avoid
and minimize the likely resettlement impacts of the Shagharthang HPP.
(i) GB WPD has taken all possible steps to avoid impacts of land acquisition on the
local community. This has been achieved by providing 39 crossings at
appropriate sites.
(ii) The rehabilitation and improvement work to the extent possible will be
accommodated within the existing facilities‟ premises and will not involve any
significant LAR.
(iii) If land acquisition cannot be avoided, land will be purchased from landowners
with their consent and willingness at the current open market prices through
procedures as outlined in the LARF and incorporated into the Entitlement Matrix
for this program.
(iv) Vulnerable people and all AFs losing land and business will receive Vulnerability
Impact Allowances/support which will enable them to restore and or improve their
livelihoods equal or higher to the proportionate to the percentage of land lost.
34. Requisite stipulations regarding all socio environmental issues identified in EMP will need to
be included in the bid documents and contractual agreements with contractors and their compliance
will be monitored..
B. POTENTIAL LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT IMPACTS
35. The project will not affect any residential house thus population displacement due to project
implementation is insignificant and therefore, no resettlement is needed. Overall, the project will
require a total of 42.475 acres of land for construction of different project structures.
36. Based on land and non-land impacts, the project will impact a total of 110 families with a
total of 1196 family members.
37. All AFs are Muslim and ethnically Balti and Shina speaking. As they have a similar
livelihood and same culture of peoples residing in other parts of Baltistan therefore, they are neither
tribal nor minority people. The ADB‟s Policy on Indigenous People, as specified in the SPS 2009, is
not triggered.
38. No women in the project area are head of any family so they do not have to face any socio-
economic impacts. However, during the construction of the project there will be a negative impact on
the free movement of women in the area. Movement of heavy and extended number of vehicles
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 16 -
during the construction activities on the widening of access road would create hurdle in the free
movement of women. However, the effect is temporary and would be managed by arrangement of
time schedule with the contractor.
C. IMPACTS DUE TO WIDENING OF ACCESS ROAD
39. Land: Major impact of the project is the acquisition of private cultivated land required for the
widening of the existing access road. A significant part of this socio-economic impact has been
reduced by providing truck-passing areas (39 crossing points) at every 200-m between Kachura and
Soq as well as from starting point up to SCO exchange. The requirement for land by providing these
crossing points as well as widening of road from Powerhouse site to Weir site is 13.669 acres. Out of
this 2.073 acre are cultivated private land which will be acquired and compensated at market rate
fixed by LAC. This will affect 75 households with a total population of 780 affected persons. Rest of
the land is categorized as government land. The following Table 5 gives detail of permanent land
acquisition for widening of access road. Inventory of the AFs losing land and other economic assets is
provided in Appendix-1.

40. In case of access road minimum land holding of an individual is 0.25 acres and maximum is
12.5 acres where as percentage loss is 0.6% to individual farmers
41. Shops: Four AFs will lose business in terms of loss of five shops due to road widening in
Kachura and Soq villages. These shops are made up of stone and mud masonry walls within wooden
batten simple roof and rough stone flooring. To compensate for the lost earnings an allowance will be
paid to the owners of the five shops that will be demolished. This amount is equal to 3 months
business loss in addition to the price of the land and built-up structure as fixed by GBPWD. Average
monthly income per shop was estimated to be in between Rs.5000 – 6000. Since the minimum
monthly wages have been enhanced by the government to Rs.7000/month so the three months
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 17 -
allowance has been calculated at the rate of Rs.7000/month
42. Structures: Boundary walls will be affected at 62 points measuring an area of 740.71 m3.
The wall is made up of mud and stone to protect the cultivated land along the existing access road.
The owners of the structures will be compensated according to the rates fixed by GBPWD They will
be allowed to take salvage material with them.
43. Animal Sheds: Six numbers of animal sheds measuring an area of 160.50m2
needs to be
demolished during widening of the access road. The owners of the structures will be compensated
according to the rates fixed by GBPWD. They will be allowed to take salvage material with them.
44. Crops: The widening of access road will affect cultivated land which will result in damage of
three crops including wheat 648kg, potato 5857kg and grass 4020 kg. This crop damage will require
compensation to the AFs on the basis of current market rates.
45. Trees: A total of 1150 (27 fruit trees and 1123 fuel wood trees) will need to be removed
during the widening of access road. The affected fruit trees (1 no.) are non fruit bearing apple tree,
found in patches. Among the fuel wood trees, 661 nos. trees are categorized as plantings and small
trees of willow and poplar plantations found commonly along the access road. The owners of these
trees will be compensated according to the rates fixed by DLC. The following Table 6 gives details of
loss of economic assets other than land due to widening of access road.

D. IMPACTS DUE TO CONSTRUCTION OF PROJECT STRUCTURES
46. Land: The land needs to be permanently acquired for construction of different project
structures including intake weir, daily storage pond, headrace tunnel, surge tank, penstock, tailrace
and power house totals to 9.694 acres and is categorized as Government barren land without
affecting any AFs. No compensation will be required in case of government land. The detail of land
acquisition for construction of various project structures is given in the table below.

E. IMPACTS DUE TO TRANSMISSION LINE AND GRIDSTATION
47. Land: A total of 97 towers will be erected for 30 km transmission lines that will traverse
from Shagharthang to Sondus in Skardu town. According to the preliminary survey conducted in
September 2011, it is estimated that towers foundation would require 0.582 acres of private land and
construction of grid station would need 0.22 acres of uncultivated land as shown in Table 8 whereas
the inventory of AFs is given in Appendix – 4. However, final transmission line route is to be provided
after the EPC detailed design.

G. EXTENT OF LAND IMPACTS ON HOUSEHOLDS
50. Table 11 provides details on the extent of impact on agricultural land. It is indicated that of
the 71 households, 67 households will lose less than 5% of their individual landholdings. Only one
Affected Household will lose more than 10% of their landholding. Among the total households, 59
households are small farmers with land holdings not more than 5 acres whereas 12 households have
landholding in excess of 5 acres. The crops grown are mainly potato, wheat and fodder.
Compensation for these lost crops will be provided. Detail inventory of affected households and loss
of land and their economic assets is given in Appendix 4.

51. A total of 39 tenants have been identified in the Soq and Staqchan villages. Original land
owner is Raja. All the tenants are cultivating the land since their ancestors.
H. POSITIVE IMPACT OF THE PROJECT (INDIRECT BENEFITS)
52. There are 37,301 electricity consumers in Skardu district. Of these 30,351 (81.8%) are
domestic, 6,347 (17.1%) are commercial, whereas 403 (1.1%) are industrial. The total power demand
in 2011 is 55.3 MW. However; the total installed capacity of hydel and thermal power plants is 16.40
MW. Thus there is a shortfall of 38.9 MW. Despite the addition of another 8 MW from under
construction power projects and other projects planned in the short-term, a serious shortfall will exist,
hampering development in the Skardu area. Unless new sources of power are added, the situation is
likely to aggravate with time as the demand is projected to increase to 85 MW by 2015. The proposed
26 MW plant will be an important project to bridging the widening gap between demand and supply. In
particular Shagharthang and Staqchan villages will benefit in terms of supply of electricity.
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project

53. Benefit Sharing
54. There is no health facility available in Staqchan village. It has therefore been decided to
provide Rural Health Centre at Staqchan village on the demand of villagers. The limited expansion of
health facilities planned under the project will be a significant development. It is planned that the EPC
contractor will establish Rural Health Centre in Staqchan village on government land near existing
primary school on an area of three Kanal. NOC has been issued by the DLC for the allotment of three
kanal of government land for health centre at Staqchan village. The copy of NOC is attached as
Appendix 1. The GB WPD will ensure to provide medicines and paramedical staff through out the
construction phase of the project through the EPC contractor. After completion of the project the same
will be handed over to the GB Health Department for which MOU has already been signed between
Project Director and Director Health Baltistan region. The MOU is attached as Appendix 2. This RHC
will provide health services to the population in general and women in particular.
55. Widening of existing 23 km long access road from Kachura to Staqchan village will facilitate
the population of the area in their movement and transportation of their cash crops to the market. This
road will help to improve the socio-economic conditions of the area. Moreover, a few shops/tea stalls
may come up along the road side to provide the daily needs of construction personnel as well as
locals of the area.
56. Staqchan and Shagharthang villages do not have electricity access. Construction of
Shagharthang hydropower project will provide electricity to both the villages through 11kV
transmission line which will be stretched from power house to Staqchan and Shagahthang villages
along the existing road. Availability of power would reduce consumption of fuel wood and other fossil
fuels by villagers for heating and cooking purposes.
57. The project will also require 300 unskilled jobs during the construction phase and96 jobs
during project operations.
58. Hydropower is a clean and renewable source of energy and its use instead of thermal
power reduces the emission of pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (PM),
sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), and hydrocarbons. The
annual reduction in the production of CO2, the main greenhouse gas, as compared to a power of
similar capacity operating on oil, gas, or coal is shown in Table below. It is estimated that more than
51,000 tons of carbon dioxide emission will be saved annually by using hydropower rather than fossil
fuels1.

V. SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE
A. FIELD INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY
59. As part of the LARP preparation, socio-economic survey was carried out along the entire
project area by a team of social investigators and two patwaris (a revenue department functionary at
the lowest level to maintain land records) led by a social development specialist. One senior official
from GBWPD was part of the survey team. Field visits were undertaken from 28th
April to 7th
of May
2008, 25th
June to 2nd
July 2008. Assets inventory of the affected households was re-conducted by
Consultant in September 10 to 17, 2011 with the involvement of revenue department and PMU staff.
60. In view of the nature and scope of work, various tools were employed to collect quality and
representative data mostly from primary sources to accomplish the objectives of conducting socio-
economic assessment of the project area. In this regard, following survey tools were used in the field
to carry out the study.
(i) Transect walk - A transect walk of the entire project area was conducted to
determine the magnitude of land acquisition, resettlement losses and likely
resettlement risks.
(ii) Census survey – A complete census/ enumeration of assets was done for 100%
of the affected persons.
(iii) Asset inventory - Physical measurements were carried out to measure the size of
affected land structures and for the preparation of the asset inventory.
(iv) Socio-economic survey – To prepare socio-economic profile a general survey of
the various categories of affected persons was carried out.
(v) Consultations/ focus group discussions – Focus group discussions and scoping
sessions were conducted with affected persons.
61. Participatory Rural Approach (PRA) was adopted to disclose the information about the
project as well as to verify the existing information collected during 2008 survey. Apart from this 100%
of the AHs were approached along with Land Revenue Department officials to certify inventory of their
lost assets. A detail regarding number of households, sample size and percent of households is given
as under;

B. SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF SURVEYED VILLAGES
62. Northern areas of Pakistan lying in the extreme north of the country are officially designated
as Gilgit Baltistan (GB) province. This province borders Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the west, Afghanistan
to the North, China to the northeast, the state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Indian occupy
state of Jammu and Kashmir to the south and southeast. Administratively, GB is divided into 7
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 23 -
districts namely Astore, Diamer, Ghizer, Gilgit, Hunza-Nagar, Ghanche and Skardu. Gilgit town is the
political and administrative headquarter of GB. Other important urban centres include Skardu and
Chillas. The Shagharthang project area lies in Skardu district.
63. Gilgit Baltistan consists of many diverse linguistic, ethnic and religious groups living in many
isolated valleys intercepted by some of the world‟s highest mountains. The region is primarily
characterized by distinct social and political status and its cultural richness. The multi-ethnic
communities living together share common cultural, linguistic, historical heritage and are adapted to
the harsh and fragile environment over centuries. Basic amenities of daily life like water supply,
electricity, dispensaries, schools and roads conditions are poor in the project area.
64. Population: According to the 1998 census the total population of the NA, was 875,361.
The present population is estimated to be 1.15 million. Of this, 25.0% of the people live in Skardu, the
second largest of the seven districts of NA, after Gilgit. The project area falls in the Kachura valley,
Skardu sub-division. Total population of Kachura valley in 1998 was 3,938. At the growth rate of
2.74% per annum, the present projected population is estimated to be 5,592.
65. Project Area Population: The population of villages falling within the project site has been
obtained. A total of four villages fall within the socio-economic influence of the project. Their
population according to 1998 Census is 3938 living in 418 households. The average no. of persons
per household is 9.5. At annual growth rate of 2.74% of District Skardu, the present (2011) projected
population of these villages totals to 5592 with average households is 9.7as shown in Table - 11:

66. Baltis form the over-whelming majority of ethnic groups with a small component of shins.
Yashkuns, Kashmiries Pathans and Punjabies. The majority of population belongs to Shia school of
thought with Noor-Bukhshis, Sunnies, Ahle-Hadiths as minority with a few Ismailis. People are
staunch followers of religion and the clergy plays an important role and influence over the population.
The sex ratio in the surveyed households show skew towards a preponderance of males, on average
114 males to 100 females. The women are contributing to different extents in a number of domestic
and farm activities.
67. Education Facilities: The education facilities in the project area are poor. The existing
numbers of educational institutions in the villages of the project area are shown in Table - 12. The
data is based on the information collected during the socio-environmental survey in the month of
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 24 -
September 2011. To obtain higher secondary education the students of the project area have to travel
to Skardu and Gilgit.

68. The literacy rate in urban areas is 36.8% as compared to 12.6% in rural areas, which is
even poor when compared to the overall literacy ratio of Gilgit Baltistan which is 47.1 % (59.0% male
and 35.4% female). The low literately among females is partly due to lack of girls schools in the close
vicinity.
69. There is a gradual trend of abandoning joint family system and adopting extended and
nuclear family systems. The elder of a house is responsible to look after all the social matters and
other activities of the house including income and expenditure.
70. Health Services: The availability of health services in terms of hospitals, health clinics,
dispensaries and medicines is poor in the surveyed villages. Only one „A‟ class dispensary in Kachura
village and one dispensary in Shagarthang village exist without adequate medical facilities. Diseases
like diarrhea, cholera, chest-infections, goiter, abdominal problems and seasonal infections (cold,
cough etc.) are common among the villagers. The people have difficulty in obtaining the necessary
medicines. Serious illnesses face people to go to Skardu town for treatment and most of them cannot
afford this
71. Agriculture: Mainly one crop is successfully harvested in the area because of low
temperatures and snow fall. The production level in the Kachura Valley is reasonably high. People are
growing mainly wheat and potato. Maize and sorghum is grown for fodder as well as for grain. Potato
is the main cash crop. Other vegetables are also grown for domestic use. Fruit trees are commonly
grown on the borders of cultivated fields, however, small patches of fruit trees are also found in the
project area. Apple, apricot, pear, mulberry, grapes, almond and walnut are the main fruit trees grown
in the area.
72. Along the road and in the seasonally submerged areas willow and poplar are the most
common trees growing. Leaves of both these trees are used for animal feeding and wood is used for
burning, house construction and furniture making. Dense growth of willow is found in the submerged
areas as well as road side plantation.
73. Chemical fertilizers along with farm yard manure are in common use. A few farmers have
access to farm machinery and may use pesticides as well.
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 25 -
74. Livestock: Livestock is an important component of rural economy. Cow, bullock, goat,
sheep, poultry and mule are found in the project area.. Physical condition and general health of the
animals is not satisfactory especially in winter due to the shortage of fodder. Animal diseases cause
considerable losses to the livestock. Productivity of cattle is generally low because of severe winter
and lack of proper feed. Sufficient grass and grazing areas are available. There is need for introducing
improved variety to encourage people to keep more animals. It is important to note that AKRSP and
Animal Husbandry Department under UNDP aided project are working for the introduction of improved
livestock and poultry.
75. Sources of Income: Table - 13 shows main source of income of economically active
population in the surveyed villages. Agriculture is the dominant sector as it is reflected at 90% in the
villages around the project site. However, most of these 90% go for part time labour as and when
available

77. Their income is more in kind than in cash. They grow their own wheat, eat and sell apples,
apricot, and almond, rear their own animals, use their milk, butter and meat as well as poultry for eggs
and meat, grow potatoes to earn cash. The cash is used mainly to buy fertilizers, insecticides, farm
machinery, its lubricants and their utilities. About 35% of the population (Table 14) have annual
income less than Rs. 84,000 (i.e minimum monthly wages of labour Rs.7000 as fixed by the GOP)
78. Electricity: Information collected in respect of availability of social amenities indicates that
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 26 -
Staq Chan and Shagharthang villages do not have access to electrical connections. However, the
remaining villages in the project area have access to electricity but the use is limited to lighting as the
GBPWD persuades the consumers for limited use of electricity only to avoid load shedding particularly
in winter months. Water supply is available to most households through spring water. However, the
quality of the service is reportedly not satisfactory.
79. Sanitation: Sanitation services in terms of sewerage system, wastewater treatment,
drainage and solid waste management are non-existent in the surveyed villages. Therefore the project
area is characterized by inadequate sanitation conditions. However, in surveyed villages of the project
area all the households use close space for excretion where the solid part is collected and used as
farm yard manure after composting. The liquid part is allowed to flow in deep dug wells.
80. Role, Position and Status of Women in the Project Area: Women take all
responsibilities including taking care of household activities, bringing up of children, agriculture
(sowing, watering, weeding), livestock, poultry and collection of wood for cooking etc. Female
population also carries out drying of apricot and mulberry; however, men have major role in ploughing
of land, sowing and harvesting of crop. There seems to be a clear-cut boundary of labor among the
genders. Now women are taking interest in all the fields specially education and health.
81. On the other hand, life in the villages is entirely male dominated and women face many
problems due to restricted mobility, lack of decision-making, poor access to social services, limited
productive employment opportunities, early marriages, no family planning practices and no awareness
about health and hygiene. Health is one of the biggest problems in their villages. The women often
suffer from health problems after childbirth and there are no regular immunizations of the children.
Since the women lack awareness about health and hygiene, the children suffer from various health
problems due to poor hygienic conditions.
C. SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF AFFECTED PERSONS
82. In total, the census inventory identified 110 affected households with 1196 affected persons
(DPs) These AFs belong to Balti and Shin ethnic groups and speak Shina and Balti languages.
Majority of the AFs are gradually abandoning joint family system and adopting extended and nuclear
family systems. Majority of the AFs were married. The elder of a house is responsible to look after all
the social matters and other activities of the house including income and expenditure.
83. All heads of households are male. 97% affected households are headed by married men
while 3% affected households are headed by unmarried men. The sex ratio of the AFs‟ sampled
households show skew towards a preponderance of males, on average 114 males to 100 females.
These women are contributing at different extents in a number of domestic activities through major
and minor involvement in the project area.
84. It has been estimated that about 20% of the population is literate. Out of which some of the
sampled population was reported to have primary, 6% secondary education and 3% higher secondary
education. This percentage is only applicable to male population. The illiteracy rate of 80% of the
sampled population is considerable higher than the national average. The low literacy among females
(4%) is partly due to lack of girls schools in the close vicinity.
85. Among the AFs, farming is the dominant occupation followed by wage labor in-off farm
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 27 -
activities. 72% households have more than one source of income other than agriculture. About 112
affected families (AFs) are engaged in government services particularly in military service. No woman
was found in the service sector.
86. On an average every household has 2-3 cows, two bullocks, 2 mules, 6 goats, 8 sheep,
and 6-7 chicken. Bullocks are the main source of farm power, but they are hardly capable of drawing
plough due to poor health. Cows, sheep and goats are also lean and thin. Meat, milk, butter and eggs
are the main animal/poultry products but most of these are consumed at the household level. At some
places milk, Ghee (butter), meat, animal hides, wool and poultry are sold and are the source of
income of most of the families.
87. The average annual income of the households is Rs. 122,500 and ranges between 80,000
and 300,000. .
88. The information on the possession of consumer durables and electronic appliances and
other household items show that 12% households have television sets. Out of total 8% owns
refrigerators and microwave ovens whereas 80% households do not own any electronic gadgets
except radio.
89. Housing condition is also another indicator for assessing of living standard/household well-
being. During field survey it was observed that all AFs had their own houses along the project
corridor. As far as the housing conditions are concerned, it was assessed during the census survey
that of the total houses, 90% are stone and mud made with simple roof mostly thatched and floor
while the remaining 10% are made with cement and concrete blocks.
90. Information collected in respect of availability of social amenities indicates that all AFs of
sampled population had electrical connections. However, the use is limited to lighting as the
consumers have an understanding with GBWPD for the minimum use of electricity. Water supply is
available to most households, however, AFs were not satisfied with the quality of the service.
91. Only one household namely Syed Abbas s/o Syed Akber Shah of Kchura village loses
0.028 acres of land out of his total land of 0.25acres. The percentage loss is 11.2% which is more
than 10% of his land. An vulnerable allowance equal to two months salary i.e Rs. 7000/month to
support and improve their livelihoods will be given. Temporary employment will be provided during
construction and a permanent job on project completion and once operations commence. They will
have priority in employment in project-related jobs.
92. There are 12 tenants in Soq village and 27 in Staqchan village. Land is owned by the Raja
and tenancy arrangements have been in place for centuries. Tenants will be compensated in
accordance with the practiced tenancy practice. Consultations with the tenants and their
representatives confirmed their satisfaction with the compensation rates and they have agreed to the
project going ahead.
D. INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
93. The project areas consist of many diverse linguistic, ethnic and religious groups living in
many isolated valleys intercepted with some of the world's highest mountains. The major groups are
divided into various ethnic groups including Balti, Shin, Yashkun, Kamin and Dom. The multi-ethnic
communities living together share common cultural, linguistic and historical heritage gone through the
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 28 -
transformation process on various economic, political, and education fronts. The transformation
process through expansion of state system education, trade, tourism and out migration working with
major cities of Pakistan in formal and informal sectors and abroad had integrated the local inhabitants
to the ideas, traditions, cultures and languages of Pakistan and become fully mainstreamed with
Pakistani dominant society. None of the households are tribal or minority members and all affected
land is held in private ownership It would thus be difficult to apply to any one of these groups the
notion of IP as defined by the ADB policy which is based on the idea of discrete groups.
94. Therefore, standard provisions of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework are
sufficient to ensure an effective compensation process and the requirements of ADB Policy on
Indigenous People as specified in the Indigenous Peoples Development Framework (IPDF) prepared

VI. CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE
A. CONSULTATION UNDERTAKEN FOR THE LARP
95. Consultations were carried out through focus group discussions, public meetings,
community discussions with key stakeholders, and formal meetings with government officials, to
ascertain their views and identify their needs and preferences for compensation measures. During
the consultation, the stakeholders were informed about the project and their concerns were recorded.
Views on compensation and related issues were also discussed with the persons likely to be affected
by land acquisition. Photographic documentation of the scoping sessions and consultations are
placed at the end of the report.
96. Consultation with stakeholders at the different stages of the project is required by ADB‟s
Policy (SPS 2009) on Involuntary Resettlement and as provided for in the LARF. Following this
requirement, a team of social investigators and patwari (a revenue department functionary at the
lowest level to maintain land records) led by a Social Development Specialist along with staff from
PMU/GBWPD conducted the field surveys in 28th
April to 7th
of May 2008, 25th
June to 2nd
July 2008.
97. Assets inventory of the affected households was re-conducted by Consultant in September
10 to 17, 2011 with the involvement of revenue department and PMU staff. The survey team
undertook public consultations during the month of September 2011. The lists of participants are
given in Appendix-5. The main concerns of the participants are summarized below.
B. MAIN CONCERNS OF THE PARTICIPANTS
98. During the consultation, the concerns and comments by the stakeholders included
the following:
i) In Soq village the affectees said that the original land owner is Raja. All the
cultivators are sitting there since their parents and grandparents so the
compensation of land should be given to them and not to the Raja. This issue
was discussed with the Deputy Commissioner. He told that according to law of
the land the tenant can get 1/3 of the compensation. Two third would go to the
actual owner.
ii) In general, everyone welcomed the project. No one expressed any concerns by
the project itself.
iii) The widening of the road was also generally welcomed.
iv) Establishing Unit Rates for compensation.
v) Compensation should be at market rate, transparent, fairly executed, and in
timely manner. Some respondents had concerns on the basis of previous
experiences.
vi) Contractor/s to take all possible safety measures during the construction activities
vii) Employment during construction and operation was a major demand of the local
population in general. The community expects that new job opportunities will be
created by the project directly.

C. COMPENSATION OPTIONS DISCUSSED
99. In addition to the focus group discussions and local consultations, preferences for
compensation options were also discussed with the AFs. The first compensation priority of all AFs
was for cash, rather than land or a combination of cash and land.
D. MEETINGS WITH LINE DEPARTMENTS
100. The Consultant along with PMU staff visited line departments on September 10, 11 and 18,
2011 to obtain information on various aspects of fisheries, wildlife, agriculture, health and land
acquisition with reference to revenue department record. The information collected was used in the
preparation of LARP/IEE reports.The record of meetings/discussions held with the officials of these
departments is given in Appendix 5.
E. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE PLAN
101. LARP has been prepared in close consultation with Affected Families. Each AF will be
personally informed about the project, compensation ,entitlements and procedures. The AFs will be
thoroughly informed of impacts and their preferences on compensation and/or other assistance .
102. In line with ADB‟s public communications policy, this LARP in English will also be posted on
the ADB website .The summary of LARP will be prepared in Urdu ,and disclosed to AFs in various
locations in project area villages i.e. Kachura and Soq, Project Directorate office and local Unions
Councils. GB-WPD will be responsible to ensure LARP as a public document is available to the
affected families for the duration of the project. LARP will be disclosed in draft and final form.
F. FUTURE CONSULTATION
103. Consultation will be continued during different stages of the project implementation. This
can be obtained through careful LAR design and implementation, by ensuring full participation and
consultation with the AFs, and by establishing extensive communication and coordination between the
community, PMU, and the district governments.

placed in the PMU and staff has been assigned to specific roles associated with the process of LARP
implementation. The PMU will provide technical supervision, execution of the project, and ensuring
compliance to the local laws and ADB policies and procedures.
108. Environment and Social Development Cell (ESDC) will be established within the PMU
before the start of compensation process, which will be accountable and responsible for
implementation of the LARP. The ESDC will initially consist of two members:
An environment specialist, and,
A resettlement specialist
109. They will be directly hired by GB-WPD to provide technical assistance in implementation of
the environment and resettlement plan. The ESDC will work in close cooperation with the respective
field-based offices on day-to-day activities of LARP implementation as well as maintaining of
databases. The GBWPD will be responsible for internal monitoring.
110. The PMU will ensure that LARP is prepared and approved by ADB management prior to
award of contract. ESDC will supervise and will be responsible for the implementation of LARP. The
PMU will ensure resettlement budgets are delivered on time to the competent authority and all
payments are made prior to possession of the lands and at least 3 months before possession. The
responsibilities of the ESDC with respect to resettlement issues are to:
i) Meet the Affected Persons Committee (APC) and AFs formally and informally as
often as may be necessary to hear the views of local people and communities
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project
- 32 -
regarding implementation of the project;
ii) Check and validate elements of the LARP where requested by the PMU;
iii) Meet as a committee at least monthly to discuss project progress, complaints and
issues raised by the AFs, and report on these matters to the PMU; and
iv) Assist the AFs in resolving complaints by discussion with the Project Director and the
Contractor on site where possible, and if this cannot be resolved, assist the AFs in
presenting the case to the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) if requested, provided
the committee understands that the complaint is justified.
v) Prepare internal monitoring report
111. Land Revenue Department: Land Acquisition Collector (LAC)/ District Revenue Officer
(DRO), with the involvement of ESDC\PMU is responsible for acquiring the identified land/s from the
respective landowners and paying the due compensation money to the affected landowners and
tenants, according to procedures laid down in LAA, 1894 and the Entitlement Matrix (Table 3). Once
land acquired and the compensation paid to the AFs, LAC will hand over possession of the acquired
lands to the PMU for utilization in the Project construction.
112. Affected Persons Committee (APC): PMU will establish three APC in Kachura, Soq and
Staqchan villages comprising three AFs headed by an elected member of the area before the start of
compensation process. APC will have close liaison with the GRC to resolve the issues at appropriate time.
113. Grievance Redress Committee: Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) will be established at
the project level (PMU office, Skardu) with the primary objective of providing a mechanism to mediate
conflict and disputes within 21 days of the receipt of a complaint concerning compensation payments to
avoid lengthy litigation. The committee will constitute the following members
The Project Director (Head)
ESDC
A representative of Revenue Department
An elected representative of local community
Three representatives of affected families.
114. The complaints will be forwarded by the Affected Persons Committee(APC) to the GRC.
115. The function of the GRC will be to;
support AFs on problems arising out of their land and property acquisition;
record the grievance of the AFs, categorize and prioritize the need to be resolved by
the Committee;
report the aggrieved parties about the development regarding their grievances and the

- 33 -
decision of the project authorities.
116. Grievance Redress Mechanism: A grievance mechanism will be available to allow an AF
appealing any disagreeable decision, practice or activity arising from land or other assets
compensation through Affected Persons Committee (APC) at village level. AFs will be fully informed
of their rights and of the procedures for addressing complaints whether verbally or in writing during
consultation, survey, and time of compensation. The GRC should not wait for a month to meet rather
they should meet as soon as possible when a complaint is received by any APC at PMU office. The
complaint and grievances will be addressed through following process;
First, complaints resolution will be attempted at village level through the involvement of
the APC.
If still unsettled, a grievance can then be lodged to the GRC who has three weeks to
decide on the case.
The GRC will provide the decision within 21 days of registering the complaint. The
GRC decision must be in compliance with LARF provisions.
Should the grievance redress system fail to satisfy the AF, they can further submit their
case to the appropriate court of law as per the process set out in Sections 18 to 22 of
the LAA (1894).
117. Care will always be taken to prevent grievances rather than going through a redress
process. This can be obtained through careful LAR design and implementation, by ensuring full
participation and consultation with the AFs, and by establishing extensive communication and
coordination between the community, PMU, and the district government.

X. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
131. Monitoring involves periodic checking to ascertain whether activities are progressing as per
schedule while evaluation is essentially a summing up, at the end of the project, assessment of actual
achievement in comparison to those aimed at during the implementation.
132. Implementation of LARP activities will be closely monitored to assess progress and to
identify potential difficulties and problems. Regular monitoring will be conducted internally by GB-
WPD as a whole through the PMU and approved by ADB.
A. INTERNAL MONITORING
133. Internal monitoring of LARP activities will be a routine activity of PMU as part of its internal
monitoring system and will be carried out during three stages of the project implementation i.e.
construction of access road, construction of project structures and stringing of transmission line.
134. The ESDC at the field level will collect information for formulation and implementation of
monitoring mechanisms and processes with input, output and process indicators. These indicators will
form basis of the monitoring and evaluation of LARP implementation as well as the preparation
monthly monitoring report on the progress of implementation of the LARP and can be categorized as
follows:
Process indicators: which include project inputs, expenditures, staff deployment;
Output indicators: are results in terms of numbers of affected persons compensated for
their affected assets (land, crops and/or trees), and,
Impact indicators: related to the long-term effect of the project on people‟s lives in the
project-affected area.

COMPARISON OF LARP-2008 AND 2012
Table of comparison between LARP document 2008 and 2012
s.No Entries LARP 2008 (Original )
LARP 2012 (Updated)
Reasons for variation/ change
1 Affected Households
67 110 1. 6 Nos.crossing points(8 Nos.AFs) along Kachura metal road(From main Skardu pindi road to SCO exchange) have been provided due to insufficient width of existing road which was not taken into account in previous inventory of 2008. 2. The C-11 crossing has been relocated upon request of the locals in order to avoid the graveyard. 3.During verification of inventory of 2008 it was found that some affectless of land ( Access road) from Soq village to Staqchan village were not recorded which have been added in LARP 2012. 4.The width of Access Road in Staqchan Village was Only 8-10ft which was not sufficient for movement of heavy machinery. In the previous inventory of 2008 only 2 No crossing points were provided without giving due consideration to the insufficient width of the road which has been accounted .for in the LARP-2012
2
Affected private land Permanent
1.15 acres 2.485 acres Same as above
3 Commercial land
2 HH 00 No commercial land exists in Kachura as per Revenue Record, therefore rate for commercial land is not required. The previous entry was on assumption.
4 Trees 380 No in total 1,150 nos in total
The no of trees increased due to plantation by locals during the period from 2008 to 2012 in addition to the
reason explained at Sr no 1
5 Structures 40.2 m² 1003m2 The 40.2 sq Meter pertains to only 2 Shops as mentioned in inventory of 2008 while the actual structures being affected are:
1. 5 Shops measuring 102.91 sq meter
2. Boundry wall measuring 740.71 cubic meter
3. Livestock/cattle sheds measuring 160.50 sq meter
The increase is due to reason explained at Sr no.1
6 Temporary Land acquisition (private)
2.544 acres 3.03 acres This land is required for stringing operation for one year in 10 m wide corridor of transmission line. The field map of the transmission line is to be finalized by the EPC contractor after which the temporary land acquisition will be revised.
7 Unit Rate
Agricultural land
Rs. 2,840,000/acre
Rs. 2,238,355/- acre (aggregate)
The unit rates given in the LARP-2008 by the then consultants were hypothetical and had no basis because no such rates existed at that time. They assumed the rates without involving the Department (GBWPD) and directly sent to ADB. The prevailing official rates of 2008 had already been provided to ADB. Private transaction record does not exist therefore these rates are baseless. The unit rate of LARP-2012 is based on current market rates as determined by the LAC in 2012.
8 Built up commercial Area
Rs. 5,520,000/ acre
No rates As explain at Sr No.3
9 Land Acquisition
Rs.80,000/ acre / year
RS.80,000/ ACRE / YEAR
Same rate used.
(Temporary)
10 Structures RS. 249,000 Rs. 1,729,000/ -
As Explained at Sr No.5
11 Relocation of Public Infrastructure
Rs. 20,000/- No allocation C-3 & C-17 were relocated to avoid any damage to public infra-structure (Water supply pipe) therefore not taken in LARP-2012
12 Vulnerable ASFs allowance
Rs. 12000/- Rs. 14000/- Minimum two months wages as fixed by GOP were used in both LARPs. Only latest rate Rs.7000 is used instead of old rate of Rs 6000 per month.
13 Financial Assistance: Lost earnings (shops)
Rs. 36000/- Rs. 105000/- Minimum three months wages as fixed by GOP were used in both LARPs. Only quantity of shops increased from 2 No to 5 No due to relocation of crossing C-21 on the demands of local community to avoid any damaged to the graveyard.
