DATABASE
9
Usually an average of about 10 complaints received every year about negative
impact concerning the activity of the projects
Most of them came up verbally (about 80-90%)
The verbal complaint is refers to CD Supv. or to KPL for further investigation and
justification
If CD Supv and KPL deem appropriate to receive it in writing, the complainant(s)
are advised to do so.
Many verbal complaints are not directly involved with project activity or related as
recordable grievance after discussion with complainants.
Eg. “land dispute”, “labour matters”, “disturbance of fishing activity”
Other complaints(not classified as grievance are well noted for future reference
and logged as “issues”.

Brief description:
A farmer from Ohnbinkwin village,
complained that his rice field was covered with sand
because of the bad condition a water gate located upstream
PLC. According to him, this water gate, through which a
stream flows into PLC, got plugged, preventing the stream to
flow normally, which resulted in the sand carried by the
