The Government of Maharashtra (GOM) with financial assistance from the World Bank (WB) has undertaken a medium-term investment programme called Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP). Jogeshwari - Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) is one of the primary East-West link Roads, which has been undertaken as a part of Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) to strengthen the road connectivity between Eastern Express Highway (EEH) and Western Express Highway (WEH). The project is being implemented in two phases with three sections. Section-I and III are being undertaken as Phase-I while Section-II has been undertaken as a part of Phase-II. Most parts of Phase-I are planned for 35 m, while in certain parts the width of the road is 45.7 m. or 60 m. depending on the approved width of structures at such locations. The Resettlement Implementation Plan (RIP) for a width of 35 m. has been already prepared and approved by the Bank and the resettlement is being carried out as per the RIP. However, apart from the impacts of structures wider than 35 m., there are also other resettlement impacts beyond 35 m. associated with the widening works presently undertaken. The impacts between 35 m. and 45.7 m are also separately captured, which may be required to be addressed for widening up to 45.7 m Development Plan width in future. This supplementary RIP is prepared for: · Additional impacts beyond 35 m. associated with the present width of Phase I work of the project. · Impacts between 35 m. and 45.7 m. as may be required for widening of Phase-I up to 45.7 m. in future. Resettlement Implementation Plan for additional ROW of JVLR- 2. This Resettlement Implementation Plan addresses the impacts on the households, commercial units and community and religious structures getting affected due to the widening of the project corridor as presently proposed and also for future widening to the Development Plan Width of 45.7 meters. 3. Impact on Structures: The total number of affected structures due to widening is 341 of which 241 are residential, 68 commercial and 15 residential -cum - commercial. There are 17 community and religious structures. Page 7 ii Socio-economic Characteristics 4. A Baseline Socio-Economic Survey was carried out among the affected population during November/December 2003; Therefore December 2003 w ill be treated as the cut-off date. No structure coming up after that date will be considered for resettlement. The BSES for entire section I and III has been updated in September 2005 and the information provided in the RIP in based on the updated data. The cut off date for new additional impacts such as those for relocation of community and religious structures, construction of retaining walls etc. identified would be the date of carrying out the BSES for such additional impacts. The analysis of updated BSES data for impacts up to 35 m. would be separately submitted. The project is ensuring protection of the cleared area by employing guards to prevent and alert the PIA in case of any attempts of encroaching on the cleared area. Proposed Resettlement Site 5. Tenements and shops have been constructed at Majas Resettlement site to resettle the project affected households losing structures. The Majas resettlement colony is within 2 Km of the current location of the PAHs. Relocation options for the community and religious structures are being worked out in consultation with the affected people. Public consultation 6. Discussions and meetings were held with PAHs at every stage. The first stage was at the time of preparing the baseline socio-economic survey when people were made aware of the project and its implications. A network of CBOs and women’s groups facilitates day-to-day interactions with the PAHs about relocation sites, entitlements, grievance redressal process etc. While preparing the RIP, discussions have also been held with the community. The issues dealt with during these discussions were with regard to relocation. The most frequently mentioned demand of the PAPs was that they should be relocated near the existing site. The PAHs wanted the relocation site to have basic facilities like school, road, water and electricity. Owners of the commercial establishments preferred their shops to be located near road and close to markets. The details of the public consultations organized and matters discussed with the PAHs during preparation of RIP are included in Table 4.1. Page 8 iii Implementation Arrangements 7. The over-all responsibility for implementation of this RIP lies with Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) who are c oordinating with all other agencies in the implementation process and over-seeing the delivery of entitlements to the PAPs. The NGO, Slum Rehabilitation Society (SRS) has been appointed to assist MMRDA in R&R implementation. 8. The relocation process has commenced since October 2004 and is expected to be completed by December 2005. The entire resettlement process including registration of Co-operative Housing Societies, transfer of titles to PAPs and land to CHS, delivery of entitlements, assistance to economic rehabilitation will be completed in a period of two years. The key activities include completion of land acquisition including transfer of land, organizing and preparing the PAH for shifting, forming and registering of co-operative housing societies and women’s groups, actual shifting of affected residential and commercial units and completing post resettlement activities such as transfer of maintenance fund to society’s account and initiation of economic rehabilitation activities through the Community Revolving Fund (CRF). 9. The additional cost for implementation of the RIP is estimated to be Rs. 89.83 million. MMRDA will monitor the implementation of the R & R activities. The Project Coordination Committee (PCC) will review the reports and it will take necessary measures for completion of stipulated tasks within the time frame proposed. After one year of relocation the post-resettlement evaluation of the PAHs will be carried out in order to assess the quality of life of the people and suggest remedial measures, if required. Page 9 1 Chapter I INTRODUCTION PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1 The Government of Maharashtra (GOM) with financial assistance from the World Bank (WB) has undertaken a medium term investment programme called Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP). JVLR is one of the primary East-West link Roads, which has been undertaken as a part of MUTP to strengthen the road connectivity between eastern Express Highway (EEH) and Western Express Highway (WEH). The project length has been divided into three sections and is being implemented in two phases. Section-I and III are being undertaken as Phase-I, while Section-II is being undertaken as a part of Phase-II. RIP for Phase- I (for 35 m.) was already prepared and is currently under implementation. 1.2 The investments proposed under MUTP involve substantial relocation of people and structures. The project is expected to bring about significant improvements in road traffic on its completion. The JVLR corridor is shown in figure 1 . 1.3 This proposed Supplementary Resettlement Implementation Plan (RIP) is for Section I and III under Phase I of Jogeshwari – Vikhroli road under MUTP. Apart from the impacts of structures wider than 35 m., there are also other resettlement impacts beyond 35 m. associated with the widening works presently undertaken. The impacts between 35 m. and 45.7 m are also separately captured, which may be required to be addressed for widening upto 45.7 m Development Plan width in future. Measures taken to Avoid or Minimise Resettlement 1.4 In this case, since the land required for the roads was clearly identified and provided in the Development Plan, there is hardly any scope to avoid and minimise resettlement. However, the resettlement policy adopted for the project will compensate those who are affected by the project.

This will be assessed after one year of their resettlement through impact evaluation survey of resettlement against the baseline characteristics. Methodology 1.2 The following methodology was adopted for preparation of the RIP: · Study of relevant documents, reports and project alignment maps. · Enumeration of structures and mapping by plane table survey · Baseline socio-economic surveys · Consultations and meetings with PAHs, visits to sites. · Disclosure of RIP · Consultation and discussion with other stake holding agencies like MCGM, MHADA involved with the project. Enumeration of Structures and Mapping by Plain Table Survey 1.3 Before the actual baseline survey, all the structures that were likely to be affected by the project were identified and enumerated community-wise. Every household/commercial structure was given an identification number after measuring its carpet area. The identification numbers given to the occupants carried out through the plain table survey were used for reference. The census and socio-economic surveys were then conducted through pre- tested structured interview schedule. Baseline Socio-Economic Survey (BSES) 1.4 The Baseline Survey was conducted by SRS in November and December 2003, which will be treated as the cut-off date. The BSES for entire section I and III has been updated in September 2005. The cut off date for new additional impacts such as those for relocation of community and religious structures, construction of retaining walls etc. identified would be the date of carrying out the BSES for Page 12 4 such additional impacts. The details of the baseline survey data are available in database maintained by MMRDA and SRS. The household wise updated data pertaining to household details of the PAH, education status, employment profile, monthly household income, occupancy status, caste profile and household size of the PAH is recorded in Annexure III . The analysis of updated BSES data for impacts up to 35 m. would be separately submitted.

The impacts in Shyam Nagar are on account of structures; in Sariput Nagar, the impacts are on account of Mandir, structures (retaining wall) and actual construction requirement. In Milind Nagar II the impacts are due to structures (retaining wall) and actual construction requirement and in Kanjurmarg the additional impacts are on account of structures and toilets. The BSES data providing details of PAPs and structure related information for these additional impacts are provided in Annexure- I . Out of the additional impacts identified in Table 1.2A above, 151 residential PAPs and 12 commercial PAPs and 1 R+C PAPs have been resettled at Majas as per the R&R Policy and 5 community structures have been relocated beyond the width of the road after due community consultation. The resettlement of balance 8 PAPs and 5 community structures is expected to be completed by the end of December, 2005. Certain community structures such as Buddha Vihar are yet to be resettled. Additional PAPs may have to be shifted for making space for relocation of the Buddha Vihar once its relocation site is finalized in consultation with the concerned persons and the households, which may have to be shifted for such relocation. Further some additional impacts may also be faced at the time of actual construction of road / structures, which are presently not known. The resettlement of such PAPs would be done as per the R&R policy and agreed procedures and a note on such additional impacts would be submitted to the Bank for its concurrence after such impacts are finalized. B) Impacts for Future Widening up to 45.7 m. Out of the total impacts identified in Table 1.1 above, the impacts between 35 m. and 45.7 m. as may be required for widening of Phase-I up to 45.7 m. in future are as follows: Page 14 6 Table 1.2 B Structures For Further Requirement up to 45 Mts. for Widening Sr. No. Section Chainage(m) No. of Project affected households and structures No. of PAHs R C R+ C Community and Religious structures Section I 1 Pratap Nagar (I +II) 0-850 59 14 7 4 2 Fantasy Land 850-1350 1 8 1 1 3 Durga Nagar 1750-2000 5 19 5 1 4 Sariput Nagar 2600-3000 0 11 1 1 5 Pameri Nagar 3900-4400 15 0 0 0 6 Milind Nagar (2) 3900-4400 5 1 0 0 TOTAL 85 53 14 7 The BSES data providing details of PAPs and structure related information for these impacts required for future widening up to 45.7 m are provided in Annexure-II . These PAPs would be resettled as per the R&R Policy and the RIP as and when required for future widening of the road up to 45.7 m. Consultation with PAHs and Concerned Stakeholders 1.5 A series of meetings and discussions have been held during the survey, and later, to take the PAHs into confidence and to encourage their participation at every stage of planning, including selection of resettlement sites. The details of the public consultations organized and matters discussed with the PAHs during preparation of RIP are included in Table 4.1. Disclosure of Draft RIP 1.6 The issues considered during these discussions were related to relocation sites, the PAH entitlements, compensation, economic benefits, and grievance redressal mechanism including the provision of Independent Monitoring Panel. The RIP has been prepared incorporating the above discussions and the process to be followed in R & R implementation. The timetable for different key activities has been shared with the PAHs. Page 15 7 1.7 As public information and consultation is a continuous process, during the resettlement phase, a site specific Public Information Centre has been set up at MMRDA. A second PIC has been set up at Majas. Copies of BSES, RIP, DPR and EMP for JVLR and CEMP for Majas have been made available for anyone to read and give suggestions and submit their grievances to MMRDA. A visitor’s register is maintained at each of these PICs in order to record the names of the visitors to the PICs, the purpose of the visit and the nature of queries of the visitors. PAHs and their Entitlements 1.8 The total number of affected structures is 341 of which 241 are residential, 68 commercial, 15 residential-cum-commercial and 17 are community structures. Annexure I and Annexure 2 list out the structural details of the structures and the socio economic details of the households getting impacted due to the Project based on their use i.e. residential, commercial and resi-commercial . 1.9 The distribution of PAHs by impact categories and entitlements is summarized in Table 1.3 Table 1.3- Distribution of PAHs by Impact Categories and Entitlements Sr. No. Impact Category Sub Categories PAHs Legal Compensation Rehabilitation Squatter tenants 181 Squatter Owner 54 Locked structures 6 1.

The shops in the new construction are planned in accordance with the requirements of the PAHs. The affected shopkeepers will be provided with more or less the same area as an alternative shop to enable him/her to continue their business in the new location up to a maximum of 70 sq. m. as per the R& R policy but subject to payment for additional cost of the area above 20.91 sq. m. 1.11 In addition, there is a provision for providing compensation to those whose travel distances to place of work increase and assistance either in kind or cash for shifting their household items. It is proposed to create a separate Community Revolving Fund after Page 17 9 seeking the consent of each co-operative housing society, in lieu of increased travel distance. 1.12 All the households and shopkeepers will be accommodated in the tenements and shops constructed on the land at the Majas site, which is about 2 km from the existing location. In the case of PAHs from Section-III, an option of resettlement at the nearby Kanjurmarg site would be provided, if necessary. 1.13 The impact of resettlement on employment opportunities will be closely monitored by community groups themselves and project authorities by keeping track of re-employment of the employees. They will be informed of their entitlements in public meetings and asked to report to MMRDA in case of any difficulties. If they are not re-employed within three months of shifting, they will be given their entitlements (compensation equivalent to 1 year of income). They would be provided identity cards along with their address so that their employment could be monitored and they could be provided assistance. Affected community and religious structures 1.14 The list of community and religious structures which are getting affected by the JVLR alignment are elaborated in Table 1.4 Table 1.4 – Affected Community and Religious Structures in the JVLR Sr. No. MAP LOCATION CHAINAGE COMMUNITY STRUCTURES SECTION I 1.

Temple in school TOTAL 17 The community structures are usually resettled beyond the width of the road. Such resettlement is carried out after the concerned parties responsible for these structures, PAHs to be resettled for making space for relocation of such structures, and the community surrounding the proposed site are consulted. The relocation sites are usually selected outside but abutting the final Development Plan width of the road. If such suitable site is not available, another site in the interior of the settlement is selected following the consultation process. The community structures are generally demolished only after alternative arrangements are made. The engineering aspects of the new structures are examined by the PMC appointed for the road construction work. For structures such as schools which cannot be resettled within the settlements as described above, temporary arrangements are made in the resettlement sites to be followed up with a more permanent arrangement for such structures in due course of time. Page 19 11 Chapter II LAND ACQUISITION LAND ACQUISITION FOR PROJECT 2.1 There is no additional land acquisition requirement for construction of the road up to the width for which works are being presently executed. If any impacts are found for widening of the road to a width of 45.7 m. in future such land would be acquired prior to commencement of construction. LAND ACQUISITION FOR RESETTLEMENT COLONY A parcel of 1.2 hectares of land has been acquired from village Majas in lieu of TDR. This land is situated within a 2 km. radius of the affected structures of PAH. (1156 units 983 Residential, 140 shops and 33 Amenities) have been constructed at this site. All the residential and commercial PAHs will be resettled at Majas Resettlement colony. Page 20 12 Chapter III BASELINE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS Introduction 3.1 A Baseline Socio-Economic Survey was carried out among the affected population during November/December 2003; Therefore December 2003 will be treated as the cut-off date. No structure coming up after that date will be considered for resettlement. The BSES for entire section I and III has been updated in September 2005 and the same is provided in the RIP. The cut off date for new additional impacts such as those for relocation of community and religious structures, construction of retaining walls etc. identified would be the date of carrying out the BSES for such additional impacts. The purpose of this survey is to establish benchmark socio-economic characteristics of the PAHs, which will become the basis for measuring the changes in the living standards in post resettlement period. The details of the baseline survey data are available in the database maintained by MMRDA and SRS. The analysis of updated BSES data for impacts upto 35 m. would be separately submitted. Socio-economic profile of PAHs 3.2 The detailed data analysis of socio-economic characteristics is presented in Table 3.1. The family and household details are presented in Annexure III.

Health status along JVLR 3.2 The health status is an important element of the Rehabilitation and Resettlement of PAPs. The Slum Rehabilitation Society-NGO is actively involved in the resettlement of the PAHs to adjust with new settlements colony. SRS have undertaken number of awareness programmes on health related issues viz; HIV-AIDS awareness and training programme for the volunteers, free medical camp and workshop on sex education etc. in the resettlement colony. The people are fairly conscious about their health since they have shifted in the resettlement colony. Primary Data 1. PAPs of Majas Resettlement Colony 2. Neighboring slum communities PAPs of Majas Resettlement Colony 3.3 SRS workers had interactions with the PAPs of Majas Resettlement colony. The percentage of illness has fallen considerably due to the clean environment and conducive living condition at Majas resettlement colony. According to the worker of SRS the attendance of the school going children has improved considerably after the shifting at new resettlement colony. Neighbouring Slum Communities 3.4 The SRS workers had informal interaction with the community people of Jogeshwari slum area. According to them, the members of the communities face health problems due to unclean and choked drains, unhygienic condition of the area, water logging and shortage of dust bin sites in the slum. It is observed that the prevalence of water borne diseases is common in the communities due to the prevalence of above mentioned conditions. Page 23 15 Secondary Data: 1. Private Medical Practitioners (PMPs) of Majas Resettlement colony 2. PMPs from slum areas of JVLR PMPs Majas Resettlement colony 3.5 The PMPs from the Majas Resettlement colony revealed that the health status of the PAPs has improved considerably than the earlier. At Majas resettlement colony the prevalence of diseases like fever, diarrhea, arthritis, and headache etc are common but frequency of it has gone down greatly. The health awareness of the people has gone up due to an intervention of the SRS at preventive level.

They have come across various diseases while field work. Page 24 16 O utreach worker met with Dr. Mangesh S. More and Dr. D. P. Mishra who are Doctors practicing in the project area. The Doctors said that the slum area have various diseases like tuberculosis, hepatitis-A,B,C, Bronchitis asthma, viral fever, diarrhoea, arthritis, headache etc. he stated that the all the ailments are due to unhygienic environment and pollution and they added that these illness take 3 to 8 days to cure. BASELINE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS FOR COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS Presence of Commercial Establishments 3.7 Out of 68 commercial structures and 15 residential-cum-commercial structures, different sizes of units have been identified based on their present area. The area of commercial establishments is given in the Table 3.2. The details of shop wise area affected and residential cum commercial structure affected are provided in Annexure I and Annexure II.

Page 26 18 Occupancy Status 3.10 As regards occupancy status of the commercial and residence- cum commercial affected population, 33 percent are owners while 66 percent are tenants (1 resi- commercial structure was locked) Vulnerable Households 3.11 Keeping in view the policy provisions for providing additional support to vulnerable households to over-come difficulties, the vulnerable households have been identified. A summary of the same is given in Table 3.3. Table 3.3: Summary of Vulnerability of Households S. No. Category No. of H/Hs Percentage 1 Households Below Monthly Income of Rs.2500/- 37 16.44 2 Women Headed Households not having a male above 21 years 2 0.89 3 WHH with income upto Rs.5000 24 10.67 4 Non-vulnerable Households 146 64.88 3.12 There are about 37 PAHs who belong to BPL category. There are 2 women headed households without a male over 21 years of age. 3.11 At the time of allocation of tenements, these vulnerable people will be given a preference. The families with old persons and physically handicapped will be resettled on the ground or first floor of the tenements. All other vulnerable people will be given preference for credit under community revolving fund. Employee Status 3.13 15 persons are employed in 16 establishments out of the 59 commercial shops. Out of the 15 employees, 3 are women. As regards income of the employees working in the various commercial establishments, the average income of workers is found to be Rs. 3200/-. Page 27 19 Access to Basic Amenities and Ownership of material assets 3.14 Out of the total PAPs 2% had access to individual toilets whereas 98% used shared toilets. 85% of PAPs had individual meters for electric supply and 10% shared meters whereas 5% d id not have authorized connections. As for water all PAPs used shared facilities. As regards the material assets, 95 PAPs had fans, 80% used LPG fuel, 60% had steel cupboards, 70% owned refrigerators and 90% had television sets.

Page 28 20 Chapter IV RESETTLEMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Introduction 4.1 The over-all objective of the proposed implementation plan is to ensure that the affected persons are provided assistance and support to enable them to improve their living standards in the post-resettlement period. Therefore, this plan is concerned with the adverse impacts associated with the project and mitigation measures. This RIP demonstrates detailed measures at the sub- project level and describes the implementation arrangements. Implementation Arrangements Institutional set up 4.2 The Project Management Unit (PMU) of MMRDA will implement this plan. The details of the organizational arrangements are described in RAP prepared in 2002. Project Co-ordination Committee is headed by the Urban Development Secretary, GOM and consists of the Project Director and other members. The services of NGOs and CBOs will be used extensively to complement the PMU in the implementation process. Slum Rehabilitation Society (SRS), which conducted the baseline survey, has been appointed to provide implementation support for the project. The key tasks of various agencies involved in implementation are summarized below. Project Monitoring Unit of MMRDA 4.3 The over-all implementation responsibility lies with MMRDA. It will co-ordinate with all other agencies involved in the implementation process and is responsible for the delivery of entitlements, over-seeing of the work of NGO, PMC, etc. and providing logistical support to the Steering Committee and Independent Monitoring Panel (IMP) for reviewing the implementation progress. It is also responsible for generating the quarterly progress reports for management decisions. Slum Rehabilitation Society 4.4 The key role of the NGO, Slum Rehabilitation Society (SRS) is to provide implementation support to MMRDA in preparing the PAHs for relocation. It will undertake periodic consultations, issue of identity cards, assistance in the delivery of entitlements, Page 29 21 f ormation of co-operative societies, providing training for managing the societies, assisting the PAHs transferring their various records, such as, ration cards, electoral rolls, etc. As change agents, the NGO will assist CBOs to organize PAHs and motivate them to participate. The NGO‘s activities in the implementation are summarized below: ƒ To assist the Implementing Agency to prevent new encroachments in the project area. ƒ To help organize training for different groups, particularly to Implementing Agency Officials and PAHs, through regular meetings. ƒ To help PAHs in redressal of their grievances with special reference to vulnerable groups. ƒ To take initiative in forming Co-operative Housing Societies of the PAHs. ƒ To motivate/support vulnerable groups to participate in income generation activities. ƒ To negotiate and participate in planning and designing of R&R. ƒ To provide feedback from people to the project Implementing Agency as regards their expectations and opinions vis-à-vis R&R. ƒ To provide information about various government schemes to improve economic conditions and conduct training programmes for income-generating activities. ƒ To help evaluate the project and guide people in keeping the environment and building clean. ƒ To take all measures related to appropriate delivery of entitlements. ƒ To organize women for the formation of Women’s Savings Groups in the settlements; and ƒ To assist PAPs to improve their quality of life. Page 30 22 I ssue of Identity Cards 4.5 All the PAHs covered in the survey will be issued identity cards with a photograph consisting of family members and their affected structures. A second copy of the identity card will be kept with NGO-SRS and third copy will be available in the office of MMRDA. The Identity card gives information such as identification number of the PAH, use of the structure, photograph of the family, address and entitlement. These identity cards will be signed by the NGO, MMRDA and the PAP. The Identity Cards will be issued prior to shifting. The data on locked and PAHs who have not responded would be verified during issue of Identity Cards and the data on them would also be updated. Those structures which are found not in use or locked or closed even then, will be treated as absentee landlord case and would be compensated only for the structure. The work of preparation of identity cards is in progress. Cut-off Date 4.6 The BSES was done in November and December 2003. Therefore, December 2003 will be treated as the cut-off date. No structure coming up after that date will be considered for resettlement. The cut off date for new additional impacts such as those for relocation of community and religious structures, construction of retaining walls etc. identified would be the date of carrying out the BSES for such additional impacts. NGO-SRS is having regular contact with the PAPs through their representative groups and efforts are made to prevent encroachment by building social pressure. PAPs have been informed about their entitlements and R&R policy provisions. Those who have come after the cut-off date would be informed about their non-entitlement and MMRDA would issue notices giving reasonable time of three months as an opportunity to vacate the land for the project. Proposed Resettlement Site 4.7 All the affected residential structures will be relocated to Majas site, which is situated within 2 km. from the project site. The PAHs from the earlier 35 m. width of JVLR have already been rehabilitated at this Resettlement Colony. Page 31 23 4.8 The proposed resettlement site has a provision of allotment of society offices, balwadies, welfare centers and amenities. In addition to this, the community urban infrastructure facilities like water supply, storm water drains, septic tanks, and recreational garden and tree plantations have been provided. School and other educational facilities will be provided on adjacent land. 4.9 All the affected shops will be relocated allotted in the Majas plot. MMRDA has completed the formalities of seeking permission from the concerned authorities. The shops in the new construction are planned in accordance with the requirements of the PAHs. Relocation of Religious Properties 4.11 An important task of MMRDA is to relocate the one religious place of worship. However, apart from this, the additional width required for construction of road does not have any other property with religious significance and hence there no significant impacts are recorded in this regard. Allotment Process 4.12 The allotment of tenements will be done through consensus. However, priority will be given to aged PAPs accommodating them in the ground/first floor of the tenements. Similarly, the 14 PAHs having residential-cum-commercial accommodation will be a given preference of allocation in the ground floor. Economic Rehabilitation Measures and Income Restoration Strategies 4.13 68 commercial establishments are getting affected due to road clearance beyond 35m up to 45.7 m. The owners of these units will be losing their business establishments and will be offered alternative shops in the new site. Thus, these affected persons will be able to re-establish their ventures soon. The details of employees working in the commercial establishments are included in Annexure VI. Community Revolving Fund Page 32 24 4.14 The objective of giving cash support to PAPs who require to travel greater distances to their workplace and who have lost their permanent source of livelihood is to mitigate the impact of resettlement on livelihood. The community and the NGO have both argued that cash support for extra travel and for loss of livelihoods, will not result in long term rehabilitation because the money will be spent on consumption and entitlements will be very difficult to administer. In contrast, a revolving Fund will remain with the community and encourage productive investments for all members of the community. It has also been argued that administering both types of cash support will be extremely difficult for data about places of work is not reliable and estimation of the extent of loss of livelihoods in the informal sector of the economy is difficult to make. Moreover, such individually varying entitlements may divide the communities who have been working cohesively for successful resettlement. The Government of Maharashtra has cleared this scheme. 4.15 The NGO after having series of discussions with these affected communities have proposed an alternative to cash support for extra travel and for loss of livelihoods. The community request, endorsed by the NGO, is that long –term economic rehabilitation should be supported by a Revolving Fund that will provide access to credit for income generation and other needs. 4.16 The project will contribute @ Rs. 1000 per PAH to the Revolving Fund and this contribution will be then used to leverage other grants and subsidies from schemes of the Government of India to deal with urban poverty. Access will also be provided to government anti-poverty schemes like SJSRY and where needed, training facilities for self-employment will also be arranged. 4.17 The entitlements for increased travel distance to work place and cash allowance for permanent loss of livelihood will be further explained in each individual co-operative housing society’s general body meetings, formed in permanent buildings, in presence of SRS and MMRDA. The policy provision will be explained to members of the society and their consent will be obtained for creation of community fund in lieu of above allowances in the form of resolutions. The community fund will operate at individual co operative housing society level. The concerned society will open a separate bank account for this fund. The society concerned will decide the ways of utilization of this fund for economic rehabilitation activities of their members Page 33 25 4.18 An assessment of economic rehabilitation needs at individual HH level will be done within 3 months of shifting and additional support to those relocated households, which may not have any source of income, will be provided credit under the Community Revolving Fund. This will be done through participatory manner to ensure that the community provides the correct information and assistance is provided to those really needy and deserving families. Grievance Redressal Mechanism 4.19 At each relocation site, public information center has been set up with all records available for public inspection and reference. PAP leaders, women’s group members will be available here for resolving disputes and provide the required information to the people. 4.20 According to the R&R Policy of GOM, PAHs will be allowed to present their grievances. Two-level grievance redressal mechanism has been adopted for this purpose. At the first instance, a PAH may approach the field level Grievance Redressal Committee (FLGRC) consisting of an independent member as Chairman, Deputy CDO of MMRDA, Representative from main Implementing Agency and Representative of the NGO - SRS. An aggrieved PAH may also approach, on appeal, the High-level GRC consisting of an independent member as Chairman, CDO - MMRDA, Representative of main Implementing Agency and a senior member as representative of the NGO - SRS. The GRC is already in place and functioning on a regular basis. Consultation with PAHs 4.21 Discussions and meetings are being held with PAHs at every stage. The first stage was at the time of preparing the baseline socio- economic survey when people became aware of the project and its implications. The network of CBOs and women’s group is in close touch with the PAHs about relocation sites, entitlements, grievance redressal, etc. While preparing the draft RIP, discussions were held with the community. The issues dealt with during these discussions were concerning their relocation, entitlements and process of Page 34 26 grievance redressal. The most frequently mentioned demand of the PAPs was that they should be relocated near the existing site. The relocation site must have basic facilities like school, road, water and electricity. Owners of the commercial establishments preferred their shops to be located near road, market, etc. These have been considered while preparing the plans. The details of the consultations held are given in Table-4.1. Page 35 27 Table 4.1: Public Consultation meetings held with PAHs of JVLR.

Impact Evaluation 4.28 An impact evaluation will be undertaken one year after the completion of resettlement to assess the changes in the overall living standards. The impact evaluation will study the changes in housing conditions, access to basic amenities, ownership of material assets, receipt of compensation and other support, restoration of incomes especially for those losing livelihood opportunities, functioning of societies, etc. In addition to the above, some of the key aspects of study for impact assessment may include but will not be limited to children’s education, quality of basic amenities such as sanitation, drinking water, and health facilities, empowerment of local people in accessing municipal services. 4.29 The agency to carry out the impact evaluation would be selected by competitive bidding process. Page 51 43 Page 52 44 Community Environment Management Plan 4.30 Community Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs) have been prepared separately for Majas site and these will be implemented accordingly. The CEMP prepared have taken into account pre- construction, construction and post-construction stage impacts and formulates environmental management plans in detail. 4.31 The brief and salient features of the environment in the Majas site resettlement site which need to be managed are as follows: Assessment of Baseline Environmental Status and Socio-economic conditions for Majas site . · Water Environment - There was no flooding incident in this plot during the last five years. - The major source of water supply is through water tanks and for construction purpose bore well water and water from sewage treatment plan is proposed to be used. - There is a good sewerage system, which carries the sewage to the Sewage Treatment plant at Nirvana Park. - The region did not experience any water logging conditions in monsoons. · Air Environment - The ambient air quality levels indicate that the 24 hrs. average concentration for Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide is below the standards. Similarly, the concentration of Carbon Monoxide and Ammonia are below prescribed standards. · Noise Environment - The noise levels both during day and night are above the prescribed standards for residential area and below the standards prescribed for industrial area. · Land Environment - The land use/land cover comprises of various types viz. built-up area, water features, transportation network, area for public Page 53 45 housing. The built-up area includes government, public and private buildings, schools, dispensaries, hospitals, etc. · Biological Environment - The gardens, parks and forest areas are maintained meticulously and one of the largest urban afforestation efforts in Mumbai city has gifted forest cover to over 100 acres of the Powai hill. · Socio-Economic Environment - The population concentration is middle and higher middle class, as the area is primarily residential and commercial. - The basic amenities within the study area include schools, hospitals, water supply, post offices, electric supply, public telephones, bus services, religious centers, toilets, road network, railway stations etc. On the above baseline information, the CEMP have proposed suitable mitigation measures, where ever required, which will be followed during the implementation.
