7.2 Crops Compensation Assessment Methodology

There is no SOP available to pay crops compensation before the damages occurred.

MEPCO use a traditional way to make crops damages assessment and compensation

disbursement. ADB collaboration with WB drafted an SOP for crops compensation but it

remains a draft and still pending to be finalized. MEPCO follow the following 13 points

from assessment of damages to comperis.i.,tion disbursement.

1. The kanoongo visits the sites and measures the damages and types of crops and

tree.

2. After measurement the Kanoongo makes register of these damages crops/trees

compensation

3. The rates of the crops are taken from the Local Revenue Department (Tehsil dar

office)

4. The rates of trees are taken from Local Forest department

5. After verified by the Kanoongo & SDO/XEN concerned. They are sent to PD

(GSC) office.

6. After assessment sanction orders as per book of financial power is issued by the

officers as per their competency (SDO/XEN, PD& CD (development) etc)

7. Claims are prepared as per sanctioned order

8. Pass order by Division and approved by PD/CE

9. The approved pass order sent to Manager (Pr) and finally sent to FD

10.Amount is released. after getting necessary approval from the competent

authority.

11.The amount involved is trqnsferreci to PryGSC) & then same is further send

through cheque to the XEN concerned

12. XEN concerned then prepares cross Cheques in the names of Affected Person

17

13. The cross cheques in the name of concerned affected persons is distributed as

per their entitlement

MEPCO is reluctant to "pay before damages" as it has to fulfill departmental procedures

and the formalities mentioned above. MEPCO pay crops compensation to the affected

Persons in three installments i.e. Foundation, Erection and String work. Assessment of

the crops damages has been done and crops compensation cheques are being

distributed to the affected persons.

7.3 Recommendations

From the findings of the Monitoring Visits, the following mitigation measures are

proposed to be implemented in order to minirni7e i-iny potentially significant impacts:

• It is also recommended that the procts of communication and consultation with

the community representatives is aggressively maintained.

• Construction work of new T/lines should be planned in accordance with LARPs.

and DDRs to minimize the affect of construction activities.

• Site should restore properly after the completion of construction activities.

• Proper housekeeping can nvoid littering.

• ciVOit.; any acniclent c-Jntracto. should mace the use of PPEs compulsory.

• Timely compensation to the affected persons can avoid any hindrance and may

lead towards in time execution of the project.

• It is also observed that contractor(s) does not give value to environmental and

social aspects and considered them it unnecessary burden over him. Therefore

to make it effective bill payment:, regarding EMP may dully verified through

environmental and Social Safeguard section.
