E. LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT PLAN (LARP)

The project is category “B” for involuntary resettlement and category “C” for indigenous people. Draft Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for New Khanki Barrage was prepared and submitted to ADB for approval. ADB cleared the draft LARP on July 07, 2012. LARP was revised/ updated and cleared by ADB in Feb 2014. Land Acquisition is in progress according to requirement of Land Acquisition Act 1894. A total of 8.6 acres of land was required for construction of Head Regulator and Head Reach of the new LCC. Section 4 and section 5 of Land Acquisition Act for 8.6 acres of land were notified and published in the Punjab Gazette on August 07, 2012 and January 21, 2013 respectively. Land price was assessed, and the EA released the total amount Rs. 9.925 million to the Revenue Department, Government of the Punjab. However, due to change in engineering design it was found that only 4.58 acres out of 8.6 acres of land was required along with a new piece of land 1 acre, 6 kanal, 3 marlas, and 4.5 Sarsai. Due to this change, process of land acquisition was re‐initiated. The section 4 & 5 of land Acquisition Act 1894 for additional land was notified and published in the Punjab Gazette on July 11, 2014 and July 29, 2015 respectively. Again due to change in engineering design of LCC Lead Channel, the procedure for acquiring 5 kanal, 10 Marla of private land from one landowner (Mr. Farooq Akbar Cheema) is still in process. Compensation rates have been re‐calculated to reflect current values and procedures. The landowner has received full payment for crop losses, trees and structures. The five affected families which were residing at the Dera of land owner, now they have been shifted in their new accommodation built by the landowner on his remaining land. Their livelihoods remain unaffected. These households have received their relocation allowance (Pak Rupees 5,000/household) and cash assistance for vulnerable households (Pak Rupees72, 000/‐household). Alternative accommodation for the 15 no. of the affected families of Irrigation staff is also being constructed and all AFs have been shifted in new buildings. Compensation payment for 6.625 acres land now will be paid by October 2016. LARP implementation activities for Tranche‐2 relates to LCC Lead Channel (component) of New Khanki Barrage Project. Internal Resettlement Monitoring of all relevant activities is the responsibility of PMO (Environment and Social Unit (ESU). Internal Monitoring Reports in the shape of QPR are being regularly submitted to the Bank. The implementation schedule of LARP has been discussed in detail in Quarterly Internal Resettlement Monitoring Report (July‐September 2016). Total amount under LARP is Rs. 18.05 Million. Out of which, Rs. 9.925 Million has already been paid to the Revenue Department for land Acquisition. Rupees 4.175 million have been paid to the 21 no. of affected families as compensation amount for their structures, crop, Tubewell, hand pumps and trees. The vulnerability allowance & shifting allowance has also been paid to the PAPs. The detail is discussed in Quarterly Internal Resettlement Monitoring Report (July‐September‐2016) as Annex‐A. 2. ADJUSTMENT MADE IN THE COMPENSATION RATE DURING UPDATING OF LARP The LARP of New Khanki Barrage was approved in 2012. Again, it was updated and approved in 2014. The adjustment was made in compensation rates of the land after certification by the Revenue Department, Government of Punjab. The rates are still applicable up till now. The detail is given in the Internal Resettlement Monitoring Report as Annex‐B.



3. EMPLOYMENTS. The percentage of skilled and un‐skilled laborer remained 60%, 60% and 58% during the reporting quarter respectively. Three persons from the affected families are working with contractor and the remaining do not want to work. Twenty (20) family members of Irrigation department have also got employments with contractor. The details is given in the Quarterly Internal Resettlement Monitoring Report (July‐September). 4. RELOCATION OF AFFECTED HOUSEHOLDS AND THEIR CURRENT LIVING CONDITION The relocation process of the AHs has been completed and all effectedfamilies (AFs) have been dislocated from LCC Lead Channel component of New Khanki Barrage Project. Compensation (except land) regarding crop, trees, structure and other essential allowances have been made to the affected households. The details about the relocation of AHs along with photographs have been discussed in the current IRMR (July‐September 2016). 5. PID OWNED PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE High Level Irrigation Non‐perennial Channel was supplying canal water to the village Khanki, Kot Imam Bukhsh and Faqiranwali. Due to construction activities this channel was damaged and contractor had provided a temporary bridge and outlet to supply water to the cultivators for their smooth agricultural practices. Pictures of bridge, outlet and water course are as under:

A view of temporary bridge and outlet at A view of lined community watercourse at RD: 2066‐R of High Level Channel. RD: 2066‐R Community watercourse was dismantled during the construction work of new High Level Channel, due to this issue the concerned farmer were facing a lot of difficulty. On the request of the affected farmers the unlined water course was restored during the reporting quarter.



A view of unlined community watercourse at RD: 2066‐R. 6. GRIEVENCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM Tranche‐2 also has an operational Grievance Redressal Mechanism that covers all types of grievances of NKBP, including Environmental & Social. Complaint register is also being maintained by the Consultants to record community concerns and their solutions. Out of 38 complaints, 30 complaints have been resolved while 8 complaints are yet to be resolved. The detail of complaints is given in the IRMR (July‐September 2016 as annex –D.

F. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was prepared and submitted to ADB for approval. ADB cleared the EMP with appreciation on August 05. 2011. It was made part of the bidding document as volume –IV on September.2012. Environmental Social Unit (ESU) has already been established in PMO to implement the EMP during the mobilization and execution stage of the project. Contractor (DESCON) is broadly following the said plan while Engineer’s Environmental Specialist and Senior Environmentalist along with their team regularly and strictly monitor the overall compliance related to environmental and safety issues.

12 Implementation of EMP

On – going Status It is Discussed below

Implementation Of EMP Construction work of New Khanki Barrage Project is in progress. This quarterly Environmental

Progress Report provides up to date status of implementation of the SSEMP of the Main Barrage,

SSEMP of Roads, HSE Plan, Traffic Management Plan, Tree Plantation Plan and Solid Waste

Management Plan. DESCON has three Site specific EMP documents for this Project.

I. SSEMP for Main Barrage Project

II. SSEMP for Chanawan and LMB Roads

III. SSEMP for the Mechanical Workshop. The work in the Mechanical workshop has

been presently completed.

Engineer’s Environment and Social Monitoring Team is regularly monitoring the construction

activities and environmental performance of DESCON Engineering Limited at various work site(s)

to ensure that the day to day construction activities are carried out in an environmentally sound

and sustainable manner and to ensure the implementation of ADB’s environmental safeguard

policies, national laws and regulations applicable to this Project.

1. PHYSICAL WORKS AT PROJECT SITE

During this quarter of the year, construction activities remained in progress on main barrage,

upstream and downstream Left as well as Right Guide Banks, roads, buildings etc. On LMB road,

the Contractor completed final layer of Asphalt wearing coarse from RD 38+00 to RD 137+00. The

unpaved portion of LMB from RD 0+600 to RD 3+600 has been graded by the contractor. It has

also been carpeted with Asphalt base coarse from RD 2+400 to RD 3+600. The Chanawan road is

complete in all respects including TST shoulders as well as earthen shoulders. The contractor has



laid down sub base and base course on Chanawan road from RD 2+700 to RD 3+400. A culvert at

RD 2+450 is under construction. The purpose of this culvert is to provide storm runoff to the

villagers of Kot Imam Buksh.

The construction of RMB Road is being carried out by Sub contractor Ashraf Rind & Co. Currently

road embankment is in progress. The Contractor has also started work from RD 39+00 to RD

60+00 as its design is approved by the Engineer. This section of road is realigned/straightened to

overcome sharp turns and minimize tree cutting. The change in design has reduced tree cutting to

half the number envisaged at preliminary design stage.

The contractor has also started work on different buildings like Flood office, cook house and to

Annexe of the Irrigation Rest house etc. The brick work for the Cook house is in progress. Brick

work of Annexe is complete up to roof level. As far as Flood office is concerned, backfilling by

engineering fill has been done. Layout for new flood office building has been done to start

construction activities till September 30, 2016.

2. INTERNAL & EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

The main objective of the Environmental Monitoring is to check whether mitigation measures

documented in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the construction of New Khanki

Barrage are adequately and effectively adopted in the field. For this purpose, two types of

environmental monitoring (internal monitoring & external i.e. 3rd party) are being carried out at

the project construction site.

External Instrumental Monitoring is being carried out after each quarter while internal monitoring

is being carried out as per instructions of the Engineer. In the external Instrumental Monitoring,

air quality (PM10, PM2.5, NOx, SOx, and CO) including stack emission of power generators,

exhaust emissions of vehicles, waste water quality, surface water quality, drinking water quality

and noise level are being tested. The Internal Monitoring is being carried out to check the surface

water quality of River Chenab and noise of heavy equipment and machinery.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST’S FIELD VISITS AND FIELD TRIP REPORTS:

From July to September 2016, Environmental Specialist SMEC Engr. Anwar H. Mujahid carried out

site visit to New Khanki Barrage project site. The Environmental Specialist’s Field Trip Reports are

being submitted to PMO regularly.

4. HSE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND BEST PRACTICES:

According to the HSE Plan, the Contractor is bound to provide safety including first aid, personal

protective equipment, safe drinking water, clean accommodation and hygienic and sufficient food

to all workers/staff working on New Khanki Barrage Project.

Workers need to be provided with necessary Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs) comprising

of hard helmets, coveralls, long rubber shoes, steel toe safety shoes and dust masks depending

upon the job description to prevent injuries. Hard helmets should be provided to shield the

worker from overhead and flying object hazards. Safety shoes are required with the aim of



protecting the worker while carrying or handling materials such as heavy tools, which if dropped,

could injure their feet. Gas masks are required for the workers engaged in welding and painting

works. These gas masks provide respiratory protection to the labourers performing welding and

painting jobs.

DESCON has hired their own staff/laborer while several sub‐contractors are also working for the

New Khanki Barrage Project.It is important to mention that all the sub‐contractors and their

laborer are presumed to be working for DESCON and HSE Plan application will include all

staff/workers of the sub‐contractors. Different applications/methods and rules described in HSE

Plan are for both DESCON hired/appointed staff/workers and the sub‐contractors. Table‐1 shows

the up‐to‐date HSE Statistics including the month of September 2016.

(1) Measures for Health Improvement:

Health promotion and Improvement aims to enact preventative health care and steps in the

settings where people live, learn, socialize and work. Lifestyle behaviors impacting on health are

addressed to improve the health of workers, working for the construction of New Khanki

Barrage such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and obesity.

a) Drinking water

According to the HSE and EMP Plan, the Contractor is bound to provide safe and clean drinking

water to the laborers working for the construction of New Khanki Barrage. External Monitoring

for quality of drinking water was carried out in March 2016 by M/S GEL and found bacterial

contamination in both the samples. The Contractor was therefore advised to install UV filters at

water coolers. These water filters were installed in the month of April 2016.All the UV filters

remained operational during the current month. The Contractor has always been advised to carry



out visual inspection of these filters on regular basis.

b) Hygiene inspection and food quality

Currently, one Labor Canteen is operational in the Labour Camp which provides food services to

the laborers and workers while two officer’s Mess are operational in Staff Colony. Hygienic

inspection of dining area and cooking area was carried out during the month. Sr. Environmentalist

of the Consultant visited the Canteens along with Contractor’s representatives. During the

hygienic inspections, following deficiencies were observed.

Overall housekeeping has improved a lot in labor canteen

There was lack of food serving staff in the Canteen

Food quality was poor

Cleanliness of bread baking area was poor.

The Contractor has been advised to improve the quality of food. Follow up inspections will be

carried out next month to record improvements.

c) Sanitation of living room, lavatories and bath rooms

DESCON has established a good sanitation system in their camps. During this month, The Labor

Barracks were visited by the environment and social team for inspection of the sanitation

conditions of living rooms, lavatories and wash rooms. During this visit, following issues were

highlighted.

All the rooms have been provided with barriers to hamper rain water infiltration

Wash rooms have been made operational

Lack of proper lighting for wash rooms

Wash basins have not been shifted with other utilities.

d) Physical Fitness Center:

Regular exercise is essential to keep oneself healthy. For this purpose, DESCON has provided

physical fitness center/gym facility for their officers/staff at staff dormitories. Necessary tools for

fitness have been provided at this fitness center. This is a step in the right direction which needs to

be commended.

e) Mosquito prevention spray

With the advent of the monsoon season, rainfall results in stagnation of part of the storm water

on ground. It also causes mosquito’s population to intensify. Workers tired of working long hours

need some rest but mosquitoes distract their nap; therefore proper mosquito prevention is

required to safeguard workers from malaria, dengue etc. and to get a sound, uninterrupted sleep.

During the reporting period, mosquito prevention spray has been carried out multiple times in

Labour Barracks, Staff Dormitory and office area.



(2) Safety of Personnel:

It is the Contractor’s responsibility to identify potential hazards and control risks and explain to his

workers how to plan, organize, control, monitor and minimize hazards/risks assessed throughout

the life of a project. The Contractor has an approved HSE Plan and its implementation is

continuously being monitored by The Engineer. Following is a synopsis of HSE Plan compliance at

site.

a) Tool Box talks:

Tool box talk is carried out daily by HSE Department of DESCON in both day and night shifts at

various working locations. Site management also participates along with workers in these TBTs.

The main TBT topics in this month were work at height, defensive driving, removal of coffer dam,

manual lifting, housekeeping, rigg lifting, crane operation, vehicle movement, unsafe acts, use of

PPEs, material stacking, electrical safety, behavior based safety, firefighting etc..

b) Site Inspections:

Multiple site inspections were carried out by the Sr. Environmentalist and unsafe acts/conditions

were noted and communicated to the Contractor’s HSE In charge. Table 2 shows a list of

noncompliance along with status of corrective action taken so far.

d) First Aid Center at site:

An ambulance equipped with all necessary first aid tools has been provided by the Contractor to

deal with any kind of emergency at site. The response time of this ambulance has been practiced

at site to deal with any medical emergency. Twoparamedicsare deployed to deal with emergency

including snake bite etc. MBBS doctor is available at BHU newly constructed by the contractor.

Serious cases are referred to the Tehsil Headquarter Hospital at Wazirabad for treatment.

e) Fire Prevention at site



The Contractor has provided fire prevention and protection system at site.At the advice of Sr.

Environmentalist, Fire alarm system with smoke detectors has been installed in the main

warehouse of DESCON NKBP. Fire Extinguishers have already been installed in Labour Colony and

staff dormitories as well as in offices. The Contractor has provided 12 no. fire extinguishers to the

Engineer’s representative. Its installation in field office has been arranged by Admin Manager

SMEC.

f) Security arrangements

The overall security arrangements are satisfactory as security guards have been deployed by the

Contractor for the project site. Presently, there are three (3) entry points into the Project Area,

two (02) on left side and one on right side of the Barrage. Security personnel have been deployed

at all the entry points. ZIMS security agency has been deployed for the security of the site

facilities. The vehicles containing construction material enter the site by using the entry point

located near the Batching Plant. The same point is used for the entry of personnel. This entry

point is equipped with security guards with a barrier that checks the employee card of every

person and then allows them to enter the site. The entry points of Labour Camp and Staff Colony

are also equipped with security guards.

(3) Environmental Management

As per volume IV of the Contract (EMP), it is contractual obligation of the Contractor to comply

with all local, national as well as international protocols applicable to this project. For this

purpose, site specific Environmental Management Plans have been prepared and approved by The

Engineer.

A. Construction of Coffer Dam / River Water Quality Monitoring

The Contractor raised the Coffer Dam on the Right Bank of River Chenab to facilitate construction

of the remaining Barrage and the Right Guide Bank at upstream and downstream of New Khanki

Barrage Section. Another Coffer Dam has been constructed on the upstream left side of existing

Head Works to facilitate construction of Left Guide Bank. As the Coffer Dam is constructed by

using clay and stone material inside River Chenab, this material can degrade the water quality and

become a threat for the aquatic life especially fish during construction/dismantling phase of the

Coffer Dam. The surface water quality at the upstream and downstream of the Coffer Dams was

however analyzed during the reporting period and was found to be satisfactory.

(i) Surface Water Quality Monitoring

River water quality monitoring was carried out by Environmental Officer of DESCON the presence

of Safety Inspector SMEC. Two to three samples were collected from different points. Currently

one Coffer Dam has been constructed to facilitate construction activities of Right U/S Guide Bank

and dismantling of old head works at right side while second Coffer Dam has been made for the

construction of guide bank at the upstream side. The Guide Bank construction activities are on

both left and right side of Old Barrage.

(ii) Collection of Samples:

One sample was collected from the upstream side of Coffer Dam raised for dismantling of old

head works while other sample was collected from its downstream side to evaluate impact on



river water quality.

(iii) Analysis of Samples:

The samples were analyzed on spot with the equipment owned by DESCON. The samples were

collected in sample holder and analyzed. The results of analysis are shown in Table‐4:

Analysis of results:

From the above results, it is clear that Dissolved Oxygen is more than 4 mg/l i.e. minimum value

for sustenance of aquatic life/fish; hence water is safe for sustenance of aquatic life.

B. Air Emissions, Noise and control measure

The construction activities generate dust due to excavation and vehicle movement. Diesel and

other petroleum products used for the operation of construction machinery and transportation

equipment also cause air pollution but the impacts generated from such activities need attention

and proper mitigation measures are required to minimize the impact on human health and

environment. The main pollutants released by burning of fossil fuels and construction activities

are CO, NO2, SO2, PM10 and PM2.5. The air emissions and air quality monitoring as stipulated in

EIA/EMP has been carried out, results of which are given below:

1. Ambient Air Quality analysis:

Air quality monitoring helps us in better understanding the sources, levels of different air

pollutants, effects of air pollution control measures and exposure of various substances in the air

we breathe. It helps us in improving and developing air pollution control strategies to reduce the

effect of air pollution. The ambient air quality analysis was carried out in the month of June 2016.

Its results showed that all parameters were within NEQS.

2. Generator’s emissions monitoring:

Vehicles and generators are periodically checked for their maintenance. For this purpose, noise

and exhaust emission monitoring has been carried out. Moreover record for the change of Mobile



Oil for vehicles is also being maintained by the concerned department. These tests help assess the

vehicular efficiency and need for its repair and maintenance. Its record is being maintained at E&P

workshops by the Contractor. The Generator gaseous emission results in the 3rd party

Environmental Monitoring in June 2016 show that all parameters for generator’s emissions were

within NEQS limit.

3. Vehicles Emissions monitoring

The vehicles gaseous emission results in 3rd Party Environmental Monitoring in June 2016 show

that all the parameters were within NEQS limit and could be considered environmentally safe.

4. Noise

Noise survey for various equipment and machinery is being carried out on regular basis. The noise

level is being monitored internally on monthly basis as well as externally on quarterly basis along

with external monitoring. Noise monitoring of residential as well as construction site is regularly

being carried out by the Contractor and Consultant’s staff. During the reporting period, noise

monitoring has been carried out at different points. The results are presented in Table 5:

As the Contractor and Supervision Consultants are committed to preserve environment and

ensure minimum cutting of trees, design of RMB Road has been revised from RD 39+000 to RD

60+000. The trees between these two RDs has been excluded from cutting. Now, a revised list of

365 trees has been sent to District Forest Officer (DFO) Gujrat by Executive Engineer Khanki

Division for further processing. DFO (Gujrat) will assess the cost for auction of these trees.

D. Tree Plantation Plan & Status

In order to improve the Project Area Environment, EIA/EMP of NKBP envisaged the plantation of

about 10,000 trees at different locations of New Khanki Barrage. The Contractor has started tree

plantation at different locations. Total 10,000 plants will be planted in three phases as shown in

Table‐7. In this connection, the Contractor submitted a “Tree Plantation Plan” to the TL/CRE

which was approved by CRE/TL on June 09, 2016.

E. Solid waste management

Solid waste is collected in plastic drums from residential colonies as well as from site. These

drums collect waste without any differentiation of reusable and recyclables. All the waste is

collected from drums and transported in a vehicle for final disposal. The Contractor is now

disposing off its solid waste in irrigation owned land known as Bhattay Wali 200 meters away

from Khanki to Saroki Road and 300 meters away from Khanki village. It is a barren land, about 8

to 9 Acre in area.

Cement and Slag bags

The cement and slag bags are collected and stacked near the batching plants and sold to the

vendor for recycling purpose. The rain damaged and solidified cement and slag bags have been

stacked at the Defense Bund around Labor Barracks to strengthen it.



Scrape Iron and its Cuttings Small iron cuttings, wires and pieces are also generated in fabrication and construction activities.

All type of metallic waste is collected from site for re‐use or recycling. For recycling purposes,

scrape iron is sold to market.

Medical Waste

The medical waste is collected and segregated in the first aid center. In the dispensary, three bins

are placed to segregate the medical waste into infectious, non‐infectious and general waste. The

Contractor has assured he is not using syringes or blades, as such sharp waste is not included in

the waste. The waste includes packaging of medicines and infected cotton, bandages etc. With

this covenant, the Contractor has been allowed to bury this waste as per Punjab Hospital Waste

Management Rules 2014. Currently, the medical waste is collected at an optimum frequency and

buried in the waste disposal area.

F. Waste Water Quality Monitoring:

Wastewater treatment is an important requirement at the construction sites since it ensures that

the water from the domestic as well as construction activities does not harm the surrounding

environment and allows the site to operate by meeting the NEQS. Waste water treatment is thru

septic tank and soakage pit. As the water table is high in this area, soakage pit is emptied

frequently by using a water tank as communicated by HSE Department. This water tank sprinkles

this water near Khanki Village away from populated area on a barren land.

G. Staff and Labour Welfare

DESCON as the Contractor for New Khanki Barrage seems to be committed to facilitate its labour

force. For this purpose, The Contractor has provided cooling facility at Labour Barracks and staff

dormitories.

Two mosques have been provided to offer prayers by the staff / workers and to

celebrate religious festivals.

Guard rooms have been constructed on entrance gate of the project site along with

security guard to keep an eye on all incoming staff, visitors and vehicles.

General store has also been provided for the purchase of ordinary consumable items

in the Labour Camp and Staff Colony.

Other utility shops like barber shop, fruit shops, laundry shop, etc. have also been

provided to the workers living inside the Labour Barracks.

Lighting arrangements have been provided in the wash rooms and bathrooms

Roofing of the wash rooms is almost complete and bathrooms have been covered

with GI sheets.

Installation of room air coolers in Labour Barracks is also complete

Two electric water coolers have also been provided for the labor in Labour Barracks

to provide drinking water.



Walkways have been constructed for the washrooms and living rooms in Labour

Camp.

Surface Drainage all along the Labour Camp and Batching Plant is complete.

Plantation in Officer Camp using different land scape style has been carried out.

Insecticide spray was carried out for mosquitoes and other reptiles in the Staff Colony

and Labor Camp.

Drinking water has been arranged in all working areas of the Site.

(4) Implementation of Social Safeguard Policies:

The ADB's social safeguard policies are a cornerstone of its support for sustainable development

projects. The objective of these policies is to prevent and mitigate undue harm to people in the

development process. The effectiveness and development impact of projects and programs

supported by the Bank has substantially increased as a result of attention to these

policies.Safeguard policies have often provided a platform for the participation of stakeholders in

the project design, and have been an important instrument for building ownership among local

population/community.

a) Public Consultations:

During the reporting period, multiple sessions of public consultations were arranged by the social

team. One public meeting was held at Golayki to address the issue of the local residents. The

meeting was held at the Dera of Ch. Akram.17 number of participants expressed their concerns.

Waheed Ahmad Deputy Director PMO, Syed Raza Mashhadi (Senior Sociologist) and Hamdi

Cheema (Social Enumerator) were also there.

Local community raised an issue that there was a protection bund on Downstream Right Side

Guide Bank to protect their lands from flood before the project started. Now that protective bund

has been demolished and their agriculture land is vulnerable to waters in flood season. The

community was told by the Social Team that the new barrage has been constructed 900 ft.

downstream of the existing head works. In the end, it was decided in the meeting that the

community shall write an application to the Project Director and elaborate their concerns in

details. The issue will be resolved once it is approved by the PD, PMO Lahore.

Another public meeting was arranged at Ratto Wali to address the issue of the residents regarding

paved Ramps and access road leading to the village.

Due to the construction of LMB Road, the said village, situated at LMB Road, has been prone to

the rain water due to its lower level from the road. The village is adjacent to the road and higher

level of the road makes the village vulnerable to rain water infiltration into their houses. This

situation has also caused their road/path to deteriorate badly. The residents are in need of the

ramps to step down and up for approaching city.

Moreover, the rain water lands directly into their houses without any hurdle in the way. An

application has been sent to PMO Office for necessary action to be taken.
