1. Introduction and Project Background 1.1 Introduction A Framework Financing Agreement (FFA) has been signed on 8 July 2011 between the Indian Government (India) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the implementation, through the Ministry of Railways (MOR), of the Railway Sector Investment Program (RSIP) which is an integral part of the investment program of MOR. A Multi Tranche Financing Facility (MFF) has been approved by ADB on 31 August 2011; MFF is intended to finance individual projects of RSIP. Railway improvement component of RSIP consist of doubling of about 840 km rail routes and electrification of 640 km rail route along high density corridors. The scope of projects is to provide a second line along the existing single line by constructing the roadbed and either extending or constructing new bridges, provision of facilities for passenger and staff, providing and laying track, signalling and telecommunications and general electrical works. The scope of the electrification project is to provide overhead Railway electrification in the Pune-Wadi-Guntakal double line section. The purpose of the RSIP is to improve connectivity to the areas covered by the track doubling and electrification project. These areas are located in underdeveloped regions of the country, though rich in minerals and related industries. The projects will add to the capacity on these constrained routes. The lines carry heavy traffic such as ore, coal, and cement, which are best carried by rail instead of road. The modal shift of bulk goods from road to rail would also reduce carbon emissions. The current report is the semiannual Social Safeguard Monitoring Report prepared to comply with the loan covenants covering the period from April to September 2017. As usual, this report covers resettlement and social safeguard monitoring results to comply with the spirit of ADB policy. 1.2 Project background The projects which are financed by the present ADB loan, are located in the states of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. These projects are shown in red and blue in the map here under: ADB Loans No. 0060-IND / 2793-IND, 3108-IND 1
Figure 1: Map of India showing track doubling and electrification projects The following railway projects with approximate route Kms are part of the Railway Improvement Component: S. No Project Name Length (in Km.) Location (State) Project components 1 Daund-Gulbarga 225 Maharashtra and Karnataka Doubling 2 Sambalpur-Titlagarh 182 Odisha Doubling 3 Raipur-Titlagarh 203 Chhattisgarh and Odisha Doubling 4 Hospet-Tinaighat 229 Karnataka Doubling 5 Pune-Guntakal 641 Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh Electrification In general, the resettlement planning documents related to above projects were disclosed in September 2011. Out of five projects only two, namely Sambalpur-Titlagarh and Hospet-Tinaighat doubling projects require land acquisition. The other two doubling projects (Daund- GulbargaandRaipur-Titlagarh)involve resettlement of non-titleholders only. In Pune-Guntakal electrification project, there is no land acquisition or resettlement of Title holders (TH) and non Title holders (NTH). ADB Loans No. 0060-IND / 2793-IND, 3108-IND 2
2. Legal and Policy Frame Work The e ill The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Amendment) Bill 5, also known as Land Bill 2015 introduced by the new government in March 2015 did not get approval in Parliament and was referred to a Joint Committee in May 2015 comprising Member of Parliament from both houses to make out a bill acceptable to all parties. Meanwhile, after lapse of ordinances over land acquisition on 31 August 2015 the Central Government has not re-promulgated the ordinance and instead allowed the state Governments to formulate their own laws or amend central law in this regard to expedite developments. Now, a nineth extension has been given by parliament to extend the time for presentation of the report of the Joint Committee up to the last day of first week of the winter session, December 2017. Since new Land Acquisition Amendment Bill 2015 has not come in force with the act of parliament,, the RFCTLARR Act, 2013 is still having legal validity. Also, Ministry of Railways has streamlined rules through circular for the acquisition of land through any existing law of State/Central Government, direct negotiation with landholders and Railways (Amendment) Act 2008. In Sambalpur-Titlagarh project, Odisha Government is acquiring land underact 2013 (RECTLARR) which is effective from 01/01/2014. In this regard, a notification was issued by Odisha Revenue and Disaster Management on 07/02/2014 clarifying award in LA cases initiated prior to 31/12/2013. According to above notification, LA proceedings initiated under the LA act 1894 in which 4(1) notification and 6(1) declaration have been issued but where no award has been passed as on 31/12/2013, the provision of the new act in relation to determination of compensation and award shall apply. A notification issued by Odisha Revenue and Disaster Management Departmet on 7th February 2015 for the new Land Acquisition Amendment Bill also has been inforce for land acquisition for Sambalpur-Titlagarh project by Revenue Authority. (See Annexure-II) In Hospet-Tinaighat project, Karnataka Government has partly acquired land under Land Acquisition Act 1894 for declaration 6(1) issued before enforcement of act RECTLARR, 2013. To speed up the progress of land acquisition, State Government has notified new act to go for direct purchase from land owners under section 107/108 of RECTLARR, 2013 by providing higher compensation and rehabilitation than stipulated in act. The new LA act (Karnataka) has come into force from 17/10/2015. Government of Karnataka has issued a order under new LA Direct Purchase Act letter no. 54/2014 under which government has permitted to direct purchase of the land for the following works, i.e for the construction of houses, Grave - yard, multiple village water supply, electrical grid, under drainage, road construction or widening of roads, construction of over bridge/under bridge, construction of Railway tracks, Airport. And for all their needful public-works, the required land is limited to 100 Acres and can be purchased directly from the land owners. (See Annexure-I) ADB Loans No. 0060-IND / 2793-IND, 3108-IND 3
