EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Greater Dhaka is one of the fastest growing mega-cities in the world. An estimated 300,000
to 400,000 migrants, mostly poor from rural areas, arrive in the metropolitan area annually.
In the last 10 years, its population has more than doubled and is projected to grow from the
current 12 million to 20 million in 2020, making it one of the world's largest cities. The
Gazipur City Corporation (GCC) area is a garment hub with 272 garment factories in the
immediate vicinity of the corridors, employing approximately 1 million workers, adding to the
floating population. So the government request, the project preparatory technical assistance
(PPTA) consultants analyzed 6 main corridors in Greater Dhaka’s fringes and recommended
the north corridor as the one with the best potential to organize urban development and
support a mass-transit infrastructure. The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) was also recommended
as the best mass-transit mode for the selected corridor, with 20% of its length located within
Dhaka City Corporation (DCC), and 80% located within the Gazipur City Corporation (GCC).
The Greater Dhaka Sustainable Urban Transport Project (GDSUTP) - BRT corridor covers a
20 km stretch located in the northern fringe of Dhaka connecting Gazipur, Tongi and Uttara
areas. The roadway is a major entry into Dhaka and is characterized by severe traffic
congestion. The corridor is characterized by a dense strip of mixed use commercial,
industrial, and institutional land uses which include informal (non-titled) vendors/hawkers
operating within the right of way (ROW) as well as formal (titled) commercial enterprises,
institutions, and industrial properties.
The Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh received loans from Asian
Development Bank (ADB), French Development Agency (FDA) and a grant from Global
Environmental Fund (GEF).
The project will require maximizing the ROW to accommodate the BRT system. The
resettlement impacts include but are not limited to (i) permanent relocation of vendors/
hawkers, (ii) temporary disturbance of income and livelihood, (iii) partial loss of structures,
and (iv) permanent land acquisition (strip takings). A video-graphy was carried out along the
corridor by the RHD with support from the feasibility team in February 2011. A census
survey was conducted from February to March 2011.
Feasibility level design and census survey conducted during project preparation revealed
that a total of 1,962 households will be impacted due to the proposed project. The
resettlement impacts include: (i) relocation of 1,409 hawkers conducting businesses within
the proposed ROW along the corridor; (ii) relocation of 46 non-titled informal settlers and
their residential structures along the northern banks of the Turag River; (iii) impacts to 497
commercial establishments operating along the corridor, of which 435 shall experience
partial loss of structures, and 62 establishments shall experience loss of storage space
within the ROW; (iv) partial impacts on 6 industrial units along the corridor which includes (a)
2 industries whose compound walls and vacant lands for a width of about 1m within the
compound wall are impacted, (b) relocation of a private transformer within one industrial
compound and (c) 3 units where the semi-permanent structures in the front of the industries
are impacted. In none of these 6 industries, the main building of the industry is impacted,
and (v) strip taking of land in front of 3 religious properties (including 2 mosques and 1
temple) will be acquired. In addition, temporary income impacts to the 435 permanent
commercial establishments and 966 workers impacted in 240 of the 497 commercial
structures will result for a period of one month when the pre-construction activities contractor

Page-1
shall carry out the demolition of the portion of the structure and carry out the
repairs/restoration of the façade of the structures.

While the proposed improvements along the corridor are planned within the available ROW,
land acquisition along certain stretches in unavoidable.

At present, a total of 9.814 acres (approximately) of lands will be acquired. This includes
3.681 (approx.) acres of lands under Dhaka District and 6.133 (approx.) acres of lands under
Gazipur District.

A Resettlement Plan (RP) was prepared in accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy
Statement (2009) and Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance 1982
(ARIPO), during the feasibility study based on preliminary design. The RP will be updated by
the EPCM as per current census/Socio Economic Survey. The census/socio economic
survey has been started by the Resettlement Plan Implementation NGO (CCDB) as per
indicated Limit of Work (LOW). CCDB has submitted the chainage wise completed
census/socio economic survey forms to the RHD for the entry and updating RP by EPCM.

Government of Bangladesh agreed to implement “The ADB Safeguard Policy” to avoid

involuntary resettlement wherever possible; to minimize involuntary resettlement by
exploring project and design alternatives; to enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all
displaced persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and to improve the standards of
living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.

Roads and Highways Department engaged Christian Commission for Development in

Bangladesh (CCDB) through the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for Implementation of
Resettlement Plan.

Accordingly, CCDB commenced the activities as per given Terms of Reference (TOR) and
other Land Acquisition assistances as per request of Project authority with the necessary co-
operation from Asian Development Bank and Greater Dhaka Sustainable Urban Transport
Project (BRT, Gazipur-Airport) Officials. The Progress up to the month of November 2015
(consolidated) along with issues is furnished in details.

Greater Dhaka Sustainable Urban Transport Project (BRT, Gazipur-Airport)

1. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the progress on the activities carried out by the Christian Commission
for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB) pertaining to implementation of Land Acquisition
and Resettlement Plan (RP) of Greater Dhaka Sustainable Urban transport Project
(GDSUTP) BRT Gazipur- Airport. GDSUTP is a sustainable Urban Transport System
(SUTS), within the Gazipur City Corporation (GCC) and Dhaka North City Corporation
(DNCC), which forms part of North Greater Dhaka, through the delivery of a 20-kilometer
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor, starting from Hazarat Shahjalal International Airport to
Gazipur Terminal. Once BRT project is in operation, it will carry, 20 thousands
passenger/hour/direction and travelling time will be half of the present. This project provides
a holistic solution for integrated urban mobility, bearing a demonstration effect as no modern
mass-transit system exist in Bangladesh yet. The Government of the People’s Republic of
Bangladesh with the major financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB)
has undertaken the Greater Dhaka Sustainable Urban transport Project (GDSUTP) BRT,
Gazipur-Airport.

2. APPOINTMENT OF CCDB
The Roads and Highways Department engaged CCDB through Asian Development Bank
(ADB) for Implementation of Resettlement Plan. An Agreement was signed between the

4. PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The Gazipur City Corporation (GCC) area is a garment hub with 272 garment factories in the
immediate vicinity of the corridors, employing approximately 1 million workers, adding to the
floating population. Therefore, the government request, the project preparatory technical
assistance (PPTA) consultants analyzed 6 main corridors in Greater Dhaka’s fringes and
recommended the north corridor as the one with the best potential to organize urban
development and support a mass-transit infrastructure. The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) also
recommended as the best mass-transit mode for the selected corridor, with 20% of its length
located within Dhaka City Corporation (DCC), and 80% located within the Gazipur City
Corporation (GCC). The Greater Dhaka Sustainable Urban Transport Project (GDSUTP) -
BRT corridor covers a 20 km stretch located in the northern fringe of Dhaka connecting
Gazipur, Tongi and Uttara areas. The roadway is a major entry into Dhaka and is
characterized by severe traffic congestion. Once BRT project is in operation, it will carry, 20
thousands passenger/hour/direction and travelling time will be half of the present. This
project provides a holistic solution for integrated urban mobility.

5. NEED FOR ACQUISITION OF LAND

The proposed improvements along the corridor are planned within the available ROW. Land
acquisition along certain stretches is unavoidable. A total 9.814 acres (approximately) of
Land are to be acquired which includes 3.681(approx.) acres of land under Dhaka District
and 6.133 (approx.) acres of land under Gazipur District. This includes both of Government
and private lands. The Land Acquisition Plan has been finalizing by EPCM as per finalization
of engineering design.

6. LAND ACQUISITION PROCESS IN BANGLADESH

The present legislation (L.A Ordinance, 1982) enables transfer of properties from private
ownership to public ownership permanently. The Deputy Commissioner of the District being
the Acquiring Body has the legal right to assess compensation for loss of property and pay
compensation (CCL) to the persons entitled as prescribed under law and hand over the land
to the Requiring Body (GDSUTP). The land acquisition is a lengthy process and takes much
time.

7. RESETTLEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION (RPI)

Where population displacement by the acquisition of land is unavoidable, a detailed updated

Resettlement Plan be Prepared with the development strategy and package aim for
improving or at least restoring the economic base of those affected persons. In this project, a

Page-4
resettlement plan has been prepared in accordance with Asian Development Bank
Involuntary Resettlement guidelines. The RP will be updated and to be included:

 All Census/Socio Economic Survey Data;

 Entitlement Matrix;
 Indicative LA and Resettlement Budget and
 To assist vulnerable PAPs together with general sections to address issue such as
legal framework through which resettlement takes place.
The compensation due under law (CCL) for acquisition and requisition of immovable
property will be paid to the eligible Entitled Persons (EPs) through Deputy Commissioner’s
Office. RHD will provide additional Compensation and assistance to the Entitled Persons
(EPs) both titled and non-titled complying with the principles of the ADB guidelines as per a
Compensation and Resettlement Policy to be framed in this connection. The RPI NGO will
assist RHD for smooth implementation of resettlement activities and documentation.
