| Description | Project 3 under the investment program will mainly cover investments in water supply, drainage, and urban transport, which are essential to meet the overall objectives of the investment program. | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | According to 2011 Census of India, out of estimated 2.4 million people living the ciites of Srinagar and Jammu, only 34.7% is estimated to have access to safe or treated drinking water. Srinagar and Jammu lack piped systems for sewerage collection and require more treatment capacity. 2011 Census shous that 52% households have latrines, 24% connect directly to the drains, and 17% still defecate in open. Annual average water logging or flooding experienced in the city centers of both cities is as frequent as 2 hours for 30 days in Srinagar and 2.2 hours for 10 days in Jammu. Though 74% of the solid waste is currently collected in Srinagar and 100% in Jammu most hous houses in the congested parts of Jammu and Srinagar still discharge their wastes into open surface drains endagenring public health and ater qualitiy in local streams, rivers, and lakes. Government of Jammu and Kashmir is currently implementing the Jammu and Kashmir URban Sector Development Investment program in order to address these deficiencies. The investment program aims to foster economic growth in the state of Jammu and Kashmir through expansion of basic urban infrastructure in Jammu aand Srinagar. | ||||

| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | Project 3 is classified as category B for environmental safeguards. Five IEEs were prepared and disclosed on ADB's website in accrodance with the Environmental Assessement and Review Framework and Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009). No significant environmental impacts are anticipated. Project locations are outside sensitive areas and impacts during construction and operation can be avoided and/or mitigated through measures outlined in the Environmental Management Plans which will form part of the civil works contracts. |
| Involuntary Resettlement | Project 2 is classified as category B for involuntary resettlement. Limited resettlement impact are envisioned as part of three subprojects, namely Jammu water supply, Jammu parking facility, and Srinagar drainage. Resettlment impacts from the Jammu water supply subproject are limited to potential temporary loss of income resulting from access disruptions during construction practices and implementation of the environmental management plan to maintain access to businesses. Impacts from the Jammu parking facility subproject are limited to relocation of one squatter business (tea stall), and impacts from the Srinagar draiange subproject include 0.2 hectare of private land acquisition belonging to three households (22 affected persons). The land is vacan with no structures or use. Three resettlement plans were prepared in accordance with the Resettlement Framework and ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (2009), and already reviewed, cleared and disclosed by ADB. |
| Indigenous Peoples | Project 3 is classified as category C for Indigenous Peoples. |
| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
| During Project Design | During Tranche 3 preparation, discussion sessions, interviews and small group meetings were conducted with the project communities with the objective of ascertaining needs and demands from the project, an estimate of losses, if any, that they might suffer and steps to mitigate impacts. These interviews, group meetings were held in groups comprising of men, women, and poor households to ensure a comprehensive perspective on the project as well as its impacts. The key benefits of the program, according to the stakeholders, are: (i) improved cleanliness, hygiene, and reduction in waterborne diseases; (ii) improved health from improved water services particularly for women; (iii) less likelihood of flooding/water logging; and (iv) improved living conditions and a healthier living environment. A stakeholder communication strategy, Gender Action Plan and Consultation and Participation Plan were prepared to ensure the participation of the community (including women) in program planning and implementation. |
