7 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Planning is a part of Punjab s local government system with the planning responsibilities of TMAs, set out in PLGO. Under the devolved system, the newly created office of TO (P) has the following functions; (i) develop plans; (ii) develop and apply building controls; (iii) manage CCBs; (iv) implement commercialization rules; (v) operate Punjab Housing Development Schemes; (vi) develop site development schemes. In addition, the PLGO identifies the preparation of spatial plans (Article 54 (a)), development plans (Article 54 (c)) and budget plans, long term and Annual Development Programs (Article 54(j)) as key functions of the TMAs. Unfortunately, in majority of TMAs TO (P)) office has not been able to perform as envisioned in the PLGO. Some of the reasons are inadequate staff and lack of up-todate maps, equipment, management/ regulation/ and enforcement mechanisms. As a result, development works are taking place in a piecemeal manner and lack integrated and coordinated approach. 1.2 Punjab Municipal Service Improvement Project (PMSIP) Under these circumstances the Government of Punjab launched Punjab Municipal Service Improvement Project (PMSIP) through Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC).The project aims at the institutional development of TMAs through improving systems directly related to their functions and through investments in service delivery Key Features of PMSIP The project has two distinct components; Infrastructure Development and Institutional Development (ID): Infrastructure development: The project funds the infrastructure schemes after the identification of most pressing development issues of the respective town. Institutional Development: To improve the municipal service delivery, a number of interventions, have been introduced such as establishment of systems like (PMS, CTS, CFMS) provision of trainings to TMA staff and development of GIS based municipal and Urban Planning Maps 1.3 PMSIP Planning Under PMSIP planning, rapid appraisal of municipal services is undertaken to identify service delivery gaps on the basis of technical analysis. The main function of PMSIP Planning is the involvement of stakeholders to make the planning exercise meaningful and demand driven.

8 Outcome of this exercise is a municipal service data base, improved GIS based maps and a list of development projects, ensured by stakeholders that may be funded by PMSIP and other funding sources Limitations of PMSIP Planning As every project addresses specific issues, PMSIP has been launched with some limitations as follows: The PMSIP development grants fund for municipal services only. PMSIP planning exercise is undertaken for CO Units starting from CO Unit HQ, i.e. urban area. The prioritized list that is developed is restricted to the UCs falling in CO Units. It is assumed that experience gained in the urban areas would be replicated in the entire Tehsil by the TMA staffs who have gained experience and training during the planning process, whose details are as follows. 1.4 The Planning Process The adopted Planning process incorporates an overall strategy for highlighting the development options and the community s agreed outputs. These outputs form the basis of spatial plan. It is a more inclusive approach aiming to ensure best use of land by weighing up competing demands. The plan devised is an ongoing process for the sustainable development. To achieve such development a spatial plan has been developed. It addresses municipal development issues and infrastructure needs in a systematic way. The plan therefore emphasizes on engagement with the stakeholders and other organizations, the management and ongoing funding programs. This leads to identify community s preferences for development process. Following steps were adopted for the planning process:

9 TMA Orientation Institutional Arrangements Visioning Secondary Data Collection Up-dating Base Map Infrastructure Surveys TMA Institutional Analysis Urban Planning Surveys Land Use Surveys Development of Database in GIS Data Analysis Identification of Infrastructure Projects Prioritization of Projects in Workshop Structure Plan of Town Figure 1.1: Flow Chart for Planning Process

10 1.4.1 Secondary Data Collection First, the sources were identified for the previous attempts that were made in Liaqatpur for planning. It includes, DCR, online data and PHED services maps. The study of such documents helped to gather background information about the town, infrastructure coverage and growth. It helped to have an understanding about the development patterns evolved over the years. The maps from Public Health reflected the water supply and sewerage schemes. Information was also gathered whether the projects had completed their designed life. These plans were again used at the analysis stage and compared with the data collected during the current planning exercise Mapping The first requirement before going to the field was to prepare a base map for the town. For this purpose, the mapping exercise was started in parallel to the secondary data collection. The image was procured for the TMA. It was then processed and a vectorized layer was made. The land marks were put on the base map using the secondary sources i.e. maps obtained from PHED. The land marks included the important roads, water features, big buildings, factories, graveyards etc Field Data Collection Preliminary Meetings Once the data collection forms were finalized the planning team initiated the data collection process in the field. First, a meeting was held with the TMA leader ship (Nazim) to discuss the field data collection work plan. At this stage a planning steering committee comprising of TOs, and a working group constituting ATOs and other lower order officials was notified. The duties were assigned and a briefing was given to these officials about their role in data collection. The planning team discussed the general development issues of the town with the Nazim and notes were recorded. Infrastructure Data Collection For infrastructure data collection, the planning team worked very closely with the working group. First the existing service maps available with the TMA were used as a starting point. To update the map the secondary source like information from Public health maps was added. This information was verified by the working group to prepare an updated map for the services. This missing or additional information was provided by second line officials. For instance, for water supply, plumbers and sub engineers provided first hand information about the system. Where necessary, field visits were made to validate the information.

11 Urban Planning A land use survey was conducted to update the TMA map. The residential areas, commercial, institutional and open spaces and industrial areas were marked on the base map. The team comprised for the survey was TO (P), urban planner from PMDFC and draftsman from TMA. The Planning office guided about the growth directions of the town and a rudimentary survey was made in this regard. It was observed where the new residences were built and institutions were being developed. These factors determine the future expansion of the town. In addition to it, the land ownership and land values information was recorded Data Analysis Once the planning team collected the data, all of the forms were arranged in the office. The data was cleaned and integrated. The PMDFC officials contacted the TMA office again if any gaps were found in the collected data. Such additional information was gathered for each sector. Based on the information collected in the field, descriptive maps for all the municipal sectors like water supply, sewerage, solid waste and land use were developed. The analysis report was produced by the planning team by using these maps. This report was again sent to the engineers for further updation and review and hence a final draft was made The Visioning Workshop The planning process stems from the Nazim and other stakeholders vision of the town which is further translated into the tangible and concrete targets. The salient feature of this step is the visioning and prioritization workshop. Participants of the workshop were the Nazim and Naib Nazim, senior TMA officials, including the TMO, all the TOs and staff members, councilors, local representatives of provincial departments, representatives of NGOs operating in the town, representatives of civic groups such as the trade bodies. A comprehensive presentation was given to all of the stakeholders about the fabric of the municipal infrastructure in the town. They all shared their views about the future development options and investment decisions of their town. Once the vision was agreed upon and the objectives were established, a rigorous session was organized for the selection of the priority sectors. At the end of the workshop the statement of agreed vision, objectives and priorities was summarized in written draft and circulated among all the stakeholders. The planning exercise was to be reviewed in order to assess the implications of the whole process in year-1 TMAs. Therefore, it was important to get back to these TMAs. For this purpose an interim appraisal was made by WB in November The details are as follows:

12 1.4.6 Interim Appraisal by the World Bank Two day Consultative Workshop was held as a schedule arrangement during World Bank Implementation Support Mission in November The World Bank mission was to make interim appraisal of the PMSIP activities undertaken inyear-1 TMAs. In addition, it provided a forum for Tehsil Officers Planning TO (P) s, the World Bank and PMDFC to share common approach to improve capacity building efforts for the planning office of the partner TMAs One day Planning Refresher Workshop for Year - I TMAs A refresher workshop was conducted on April 9, 2009 to develop a close liaison between PMDFC and TMAs. TO(P)s from partner TMAs attended the workshop. Presentations were designed to give a snapshot of the planning exercise. The main objectives of the workshop were; To review the existing planning process To initiate the process of up-dating of the planning reports and maps To share the maps and reports prepared by PMDFC with partner TMAs In addition to it, information was also collected regarding the interventions, their viability and suggested improvements.

13 CHAPTER 2 TMA PROFILE 2.1 District Profile History Rahim Yar Khan has always been politically entwined with Multan, the ancient seat of power of a number of rulers, foreign as well as local. Along with Multan it passed into the hands of Alexander, the Great, and his Generals; Ashoka the great Buddhist Hindu king; Muhammad Bin Qasim, the first Muslim conqueror of India. The Abbassids from Egypt hold a special place in the later history of Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan; the Sikhs under their soldier-king also held suzerainty over this part of Punjab until they were defeated by the British in the famous Anglo-Sikh wars. The British through a special treaty with the Nawabs of Bahawalpur granted Bahawalpur the administrative status of a State, a British contrivance employed throughout the Indian subcontinent under which the local princes/rulers took oath of fealty to the British and were allowed to rule over their people, subject, of course, to the terms of the treaty. The district was christened Rahim Yar Khan by Nawab Sadiq Khan IV of Bahawalpur, after the name of his first son in It was raised to the status of an administrative district in Location Rahim Yar Khan city is situated in the centre of the district. It is a prominent railway junction, on the main line of Pakistan Railways, between Lahore and Karachi. It is at a distance of 634 kilometers from Karachi, 566 kilometers from Lahore and 176 kilometers from Bahawalpur. The district borders with Muzaffargarh district on the north, with Jasilmir (India) and Ghotki district of Sindh province on the south, with Bahawalpur district on the east, and with Rajanpur district on the west Area/Demography The district is spread over an area of 11,880 square kilometres with a population of 3,141,053 as per DCR It has four Tehsils/TMAs. 1. Rahim Yar Khan 2. Sadiqabad 3. Liaqatpur 4. Khanpur The demographic details of the district are as:

The town at the west of the Railway line is called Kachi Mandi and is an unplanned area whereas the town at east of Railway line is called Pucci Mandi and it is well planned area with wide roads and streets. All government offices, hospitals, TMA office, other educational institutions are situated in this area. Both parts are connected by a flyover, and level crossing on Railway track Location Liaqatpur town is located on Bahawalpur R.Y. Khan Road at a distance of 95 km from Bahawalpur at its south-west and at a distance of 90 km from R. Y. Khan at its north east. It is situated on main track of Pakistan Railway. Tehsil Liaqatpur lies at the left bank of river Indus and KLP road (Karachi-Lahore-Peshawar Road now known as N-5) passes through this area. Liaqatpur town is connected to it through number of roads, the main route being through Channi Goth at a distance of 22 km Area/Demography Liaqatpur Tehsil spreads over an area of 6,727 square kilometres with a population of 698,985 (as per DCR 1998). It has 25 Union Councils with only one CO unit namely Liaqatpur.

16 CHAPTER 3 URBAN PLANNING Urban planning under TMA has a crucial role in guiding the present and future growth of the town. The Planning office is responsible to produce spatial plans and exercise development control for change of land uses in the town. Further it maintains a comprehensive data base and information system on TMA and is responsible to execute and manage development plans for infrastructure projects. For the entire development of the Tehsil it is mandatory to produce different maps like base map, land use map, zoning map, etc. The planning office is responsible to prepare Annual development plans and long term plans. These plans are made under the direction of Tehsil Nazim. 3.1 Situation before Planning Exercise At the start of planning exercise, the available information with the TMAs was very limited, out dated and rudimentary. The maps were either quite old, or were not present at all. Most of the mapping was done by hand drawings. The TO(P) office main function of development control was severely hampered due to lack of information such as updated maps. The one of the basic objective of PMSIP exercise was to build the capacity of TO(P) Office. For this purpose availability of updated maps was kept on top priority. Satellite images were obtained and developed with the help of GIS technologies. All important information regarding urban planning and infrastructure situation was put on the maps. 3.2 Mapping by PMDFC At present, with the completion of planning exercise in Liaqatpur, a number of maps have been prepared and handed over to the TO (P) office. It included land use, density, growth direction, water supply, sewerage, solid waste management, roads and street light maps. Moreover, for analysis purposes various maps are prepared further. e.g. density maps, service coverage maps etc. These maps are helpful in making recommendations for improved services in the town. In further as capacity of TMA would be enhanced the soft copies will be handed over so that they could develop/improve their own maps. These maps would also be prepared in Auto Cad.

Table 3.1: Detail of Posts in the Planning Office (June, 2011) Sr # Designation No. of posts As is evident from the above table, most of the important posts are filled. There is a need for a draftsman and clerk for improving mapping and record keeping. All records are manually maintained and no analysis of data is performed. 3.4 Existing Land Use Characteristics Filled Status Vacant 1 TO(P) 1 Additional charge to sub Engineer 2 Head Clerk Sub Engineer Architect Draft man Senior Building Inspector Building Inspector Jeep Driver Naib Qasid Source: Agency record Liaquatpur is a planned town. It was developed in 1960a. The town can be divided in two parts, i.e. Katchi Mandi and Pakki Mandi area. These two localities are bifurcated by a railway track that runs north east to south west direction. On the eastern side is the Pakki Mandi and to the west is the Katchi Mandi. In Pakki Mandi, the focal point is the clock tower. This chowk is at the intersection of Abasia road and Ghalla Mandi road. This is a high density zone with rigorous commercial activities. This area is surrounded by residences. To the south of town is the Institutional zone. In this area there are predominently educational institutions like Government college for Boys, Vocational Training centre, Women s Degree college. The other public buildings are Vetnery hospital, Irrigation rest house, Stadium and Government Boys High school. On the eastern side is the Government degree college and Government Girls Middle school. One big Mosque is present along Ghalla Mandi road. There are three green spaces in the town. One is to the extreme south and the other one is available near clock tower towards the railway track. To the west of town is the Katchi Mandi area. Allah Chowk is at the intersection of Bahawalpur road. This is unplanned area with irregular street pattern. The houses are old and shabby. There is one big graveyard along katchi Mandi road. There are

18 three cotton factories situated like, Jawaid cotton factory, Rehman cotton factory, Raheem cotton factory and Khawaja cotton factory.

The central zone is an amalgamation of residential, commercial and institutional activities. The main commercial activities are situated along clock chowk. To the south of clock chowk is the institutional zone. Most of the schools are present in this part. A park is also present in this zone. A cotton factory is situated to the extreme south. The extreme eastern zone is a purely residential zone. This part is relatively found in the outskirts of the town. The western zone comprises of residential, commercial and industrial zone. A graveyard is also present in this zone. 3.7 Growth Directions The city is growing in two distinct directions i.e. the western side and eastern side. The growth is relatively less in the western side because of the presence of a railway track and a canal. But still a housing scheme, Ahmad town is being developed here. The other housing schemes are being developing towards the eastern direction are Model Town Phase I and II and Khayaban-e-Khorsheed. These schemes are in process of formal approval. The Model town housing scheme is present along Bahawalpur Rahim Yar Khan Road. The city is growing along this road.

23 CHAPTER 4 STATUS OF MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE & RECOMMENDATIONS For determining the existing status of infrastructure, PMDFC developed pre designed formats. The data was collected by engineers who worked very closely with the second line officials of the TMA staff. This information was utilized to determine the status of service delivery, including required improvements and extensions. Based on the analysis, PMDFC identified the following areas (separately for each service): 1. Areas with no service 2. Areas with partial coverage. 3. Areas such as new residential colonies where services are planned to be provided. Based on the above analysis, the status of infrastructure services is described below: 4.1 Road Network The Town is expanding due to and urbanization which results in congestion and increased traffic intensity on all roads. Main roads are subjected to heavy traffic load due to increasing commercial activities. Existing Condition of TMA Roads Liaqatpur is located on Bahawalpur-R.Y.Khan Road at a distance of 95 Km from Bahawlpur at its south-west and a distance of 90 Km from R.Y.Khan its north-east.it is situated on main track of Pakistan Railway. Tehsil Liqatpur lies at the left bank of River Indus and KLP Road (Karachi-Lahore-Peshawar Road now known as N-5) Passes through this area. The town is connected to its through number of roads. Liaqatpur town is connected with major towns by Super Highway Rahim Yar Khan Bahawalpur Road (ROW=120 ), Provincial Highways such as Kahror Paka Road and Haveli Naseer Khan Road. Khonndi Road is district Road and Railway Godam Road is owned by Railway. Map of road hierarchy is attached. Liaqatpur is a planned town therefore; roads are laid taking care of planning requirements. Most of the roads in Paki Mandi area are wide and laid in rectangular pattern. ROW is sufficient for future expansion. Though, there are temporary encroachments in congested areas and bazars. A fly-over has been built over railway track to ease traffic flow. Roads in Paki Mandi are in better shape than

24 Kachi Mandi area. Presently, District government is improving several roads in town. There is no designated place for parking in the town and vehicles are parked in front of shops or along the roads. This results in decrease in capacity of roads to carry traffic. Table 4.1: Major Chowks (crossings) in Liaqatpur Town Name Allah Chowk Ghenta Ghar Chowk Converging Roads Allahabad Road, Bahawalpur Road, Rahimyar Khan road Abbaasia road, Ghala Mandi road, Main Bazar, Rest House road Detail of Main TMA Roads in Liaqatpur is Shown in Annex A. Road Crossings (Chowk) There are two main chowks namely ALLAH Chowk and Ghenta Ghar Chowk. ALLAH Chowk is central point of Katchi Abadi side which is in the north-west. Three main roads of the town (ALLAHAbad Road, BahwalPur Road and RahimYar Khan Road) converging at that chowk. Ghenta Ghar Chowk is a central place of Paki Mandi area which is the south-east side. Four roads namely Abbasia Road, Ghala Mandi Road, Main Bazar and Rest House road are converging at the chowk. it is also a main commercial center of the town.

26 4.2 Water Supply The Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC) is planning to upgrade infrastructure facilities of various schemes in Punjab, under Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project. NESPAK has been engaged for sub-project Extension/improvement of Water Supply Scheme Liaqatpur is one of the various schemes identified/recommended by PMDFC. The Subsoil water of Liqatpur is unfit for human consumption. The T.D.s values of the ground water ranges from PPm. Ground water table of the town is 20 ft. Table: Situation of Water Supply of the Town In 2006 Under PMDFC in 2010 The design horizon of the project is up to 2026 machinery has been designed for 10 years. The estimated cost of the project is 2263 million presently project of extensions improved of water supply scheme of Liqatpur town has been completed. This project is covering unserved areas. It is comprises of 12 The water supply system was based on two sources. 1. Canal water 2. Shallow Tube wells Canal water was carries directly from 2R distributor flowing in the south east of the town Three shallows tubewells have been unstalled along maitla Minor near ALLAH Abad town flowing at distance of 7.5 at the west of the toen.two T/wells were functioned. Both sources even at their maximum. tube wells,4 nos,ohrs,4 nos, G.S.Ts, distribution system and transmission main. The detail of sub project is given. Capacity was not able to cope with requirement of the town. water shortage was existing in some of the served areas where as some population of the town was totally un served. Total production is from both sources 1.24 MGD. Total production reaching to consumers end from both sources 0.7 MGD. Estimate population in 2006=46013 persons. Supply/capacity/day=15GP CD It was much less than the designs production of 40 GPC No gas chlorinators were available only bleaching powder was added in to clear water tanks or OHRS during rainy system. 4.3 Sewerage Existing Sewerage System In Liaqatpur town sewerage system cover the 80 % housing units of urban area. Two-disposal stations are working in the city. The sewerage zones in the town are divided by railway line into Kachi Mandi and Paki Mandi.

The disposal work is near Allah Chowk on Allah Abad Road. Size of trunk sewer is 12. Layout of the system is show in Sewerage Map -. Presently, there are is one collecting tank at disposal station (12 dia). There is one screening chamber (8 x 5) in bad condition with no screen. Pump house is of size 10 having 2 pumps, 10 BHP, only one in working condition. Boundary wall length is 400 but it is low and not safe especially for children. Sewage is disposed of into agricultural fields without treatment. TMA is upgrading the sewerage network and disposal station with more than Rs 4 milllion expenditure. It has laid another trunk sewer 24 dia - Disposal station to Allah Chowk and 15 dia along Rahim Yar Khan road. Disposal station is being upgraded these days with a new pump house, collecting tank and a screening chamber. One new motor would be installed. Most of the network is of size 9. Areas not served in this network in Kachi Mandi are: Mohsin Shah town, Allahabad, Mohalla Mehmoodabad, Allah Chowk, Tableeghi markaz, Basti Haji Nagar, Fareed Colony. New trunk sewer is needed in Mohallah Pir Ahmad Nazaz Shah and some other areas. Present network of 9 dia is not sufficient. Kachi mandi is not a planned area and is expanding without proper Street or road network. Trunk sewers of larger dia are needed to cater present and future needs of this area.

28 Zone-2 : Disposal station Paki Mandi - Hakeemabad This network was also laid by PHED. The disposal work is near Hakeemabad and is located on TMA property. TMA owns 10.5 acres of land in this spot. Boundary wall is in fair condition but too low. There are three small collecting tanks in bad condition. Originally they each had a pump house with generators. But PHED built another pump house and installed three10 BHP motors and connected all three collecting tanks with this pump house. One motor is not working and has been sent for repair. Size of trunk sewer is of 12. Layout of the system is show in sewerage map -. There is one collecting tank at disposal. There is one screening chamber (10 x 5 ) in bad condition and is without screen. Pump house is of size 15 dia. It covers most of area in Paki Mandi. Most of the trunk sewers are of 12 dia. with 9 laterals. Though, TMA has recently laid down trunk sewers of sizes 15 dia near TMA office and Ghala Mandi with Rs 3.2 million. Areas south of Kachery road and west of stadium are not covered with sewerage network. Population has expanded in these areas and now demand for a sewerage network is needed. Hakeemabad has partial coverage. Areas affected due to sewerage problem During monsoon season main bazaar, Wapda road, Chowk Ghenta Ghar, Loha Bazar and areas surrounding these areas are flooded due to undersized pipes. Overall Condition of Sewerage Network Overall condition of sewerage system in both zones needed immediate attention. Short term action includes upgrading disposal machinery with 40 BHP pumps, regular maintenance schedule for machinery, training of operators at disposal sites and building boundary walls at both disposals. Long term but immediate action includes a detailed study of both zones. Upgrading of trunk sewers having more capacity. These trunk sewers are undersized in areas such as Mohallah Islam Nagar, Muhajir Colony, Hakeemabad,Power House Road and Rest House Road. New Trunk sewers can be laid down in area such as areas south of Kachery road and west of stadium in Paki Mandi. In Kachi Mandi Basti Gunjan, Mohsin Shah town,

29 Allahabad, Mohalla Mehmoodabad, Allah Chowk, Tableeghi markaz, Basti Haji Nagar, Fareed Colony needs sewerage service. Table 4.3: Sub Projects Proposed Sub-Project Rationale Beneficiaries Improvement/Extension Liaqatpur has two separate Town of Sewerage Network in Liaqatpur sewerage networks in Kachi Mandi and Paki Mandi. Both networks need new trunk sewers and bigger capacity trunk sewers at various locations mentioned in above section. Machinary at disposal stations need motors of more power. Additional lateral sewers can be connected with trunk sewers after laying of trunk Liaqatpur. sewers. Therefore, a comprehensive study is needed in Liaqatpur for sewer network analysis. of

31 4.4 Solid Waste Management TMA has divided the town in 5 sectors (SWM Map) for efficient SWM system. In Liaqatpur one of the best SWM records are being kept. There is a booklet available with TMA that specified each sector and persons working and their job responsibilities. For each sector Assistant sanitary Inspectors report about their areas daily to sanitary inspectors. Existing System Sweepers in all sectors start their job at 5-10 am and second shift is from 3-6 pm. They sweep the streets and collect waste. Usually, private land owners allow TMA staff to fill their plots that are in depressions. There are no designated secondary points in the town. Estimated total amount of solid waste generated per capita per day = tons/day Amount of solid waste collected per day (tons) = Percent of solid waste collected per day = 67 % Source : PMS, PMDFC data, March 2007 Information regarding operations in five sectors is shown in the following section: SWM in Sector 1 This sector includes areas such as Abbasia, Circle, Wapda, Allama Iqbal Town, Park and College Roads, Official colony, Mohalla Ch Riaz-ul-Haq, Phatak to Adalat road, Loha, Ghala Mandi and Main Bazar. The waste is picked by 5 donkey carts and disposed of at various locations in the sector. Staff in this sector includes 2 supervisors, 20 sweepers, 5 donkey cart operators, 2 sewer men, 2 water carriers and 9 workers deputed at various places. SWM in Sector 2 This sector includes areas such as Hakeem Abad, Kumhar Colony, Slaughter house, Mohalla Chakian, Saddan Chowk to College Road and Disposal road to Hakeem Abad. Staff in this sector includes 2 supervisors, 3 sweepers, 1 donkey cart operator and 2 sewer men. SWM in Sector 3 This sector includes areas such as Mohajar Colony, Rasheedabad and Ghousia Colony. Staff in this sector includes 3 supervisors, 9 sweepers, 3 donkey cart operators and 1 sewer men.

32 SWM in Sector 4 This sector includes areas such as Fouji Colony, Islam Nagar (North and South), Christian Colony and Stadium road. Staff in this sector includes 1 supervisor, 4 sweepers, 2 donkey cart operators and 2 sewer men. SWM in Sector 5 This sector includes Kachi Mnadi area with these locations: Mohallah Malik Muhammad Iqbal, Basi Ganjan, Lari adda, Basti Balochan, Mohallah Abdul Kareem Hashmi and Mehar Abad Colony. Staff in this sector includes 3 supervisors, 6 sweepers, 2 donkey cart operators and 3 sewer men. Available Equipments TMA has recently purchased two (2) tractors that have front loading mechanism and blades. There are two old tractor trolleys and a tractor and water container. Annual Expenditure on SWM The annual cost towards operation and maintenance of solid wastes is as under: Establishment Rs. 735,000 POL Rs. 300,000 Repair & Maintenance Rs. 700,000 Total Rs.1,735,000 Existing Dumping Sites No proper land fill is available in or outside the town. The solid waste is dumped in open spaces. Few larger dump sites are along railway track on both sides e.g Kachi and Paki Mandi, Mohalla Chakian and Khanpur and Ahmadpur roads. Thus it results in creating total in-sanitary & unhygienic conditions, degrading the environments of the town, emitting obnoxious smells and breeding mosquitoes and flies, causing spreading of communicable diseases Existing Service Level Due to shortage of equipment and manpower TMA Liaqatpur is not able to serve the entire area of the town. Some areas have good service delivery level whereas other having lesser attention gets poor service. Much of the area is un-served and heaps

33 of solid waste continues to accumulate in these areas and some of them are removed only when they exceed the toleration level. Partial service is available in these areas, Allama Iqbal town, Green town, Bilal Town, Hakeem abad, Meharabad, Chowk Allahabad, Basti Gunjan, and near Ghala Mandi. In these areas weekly service is provided. New areas developed around town are still not provided with service as infrastructure has not been developed. In addition, there is not enough staff to depute in these areas Needs The town is generating about 19 tons of solid waste / day which is expected to increase to around ton/day by 2016 and ton/day by Population growth rate of Liaqatpur is fairly high i.e 4.61 % annually. Table 4.4: Expenditure Year Expected Generation (tons) The TMA has got a capacity of managing only around ton/day with the existing equipment and manpower. If the management capacity of TMA is not improved, the town will face serious environmental threats with heaps of solid waste emerging up in street, bazaars, open spaces and even in play grounds. Proper landfill site is needed to dispose of solid waste in sanitary way. Liaqatpur is a planned town therefore; most of the roads are wide. Unfortunately, there is no proper system of secondary collection and disposal system. Skips are needed at major roads and waste should be collected and disposed a t a sanitary landfill site. TMA has properties around town; otherwise, land can be procured to develop a landfill site. Table 4.5 : Sub Projects Proposed Sub-Project Rationale Beneficiaries Although management of staff is good in Liaqatpur but overall condition of SWM in a planned town such as Liaqatput is very poor. All the waste generated is Improvement of SWM dumped inside the town. There system and procurement is no secondary collection of land for landfill system developed. This results development. in unsanitary condition in town Town of Liaqatpur. that is aesthetically unacceptable and may cause diseases to spread in addition to soil and water contamination.

35 4.5 Fire Fighting Existing Fire Fighting Arrangements The existing fire fighting system in Liaqatpur is located in TMA office. There is one shed of dimension 15 X 20 for fire engine. There is an office (12 x 14) but is without proper equipment. There is large space for parking in front of the fire station. Record of fire incidences has been kept up to date by the staff. Discussions with fire supervisor indicated that present location of fire station is serving the town well, but it needs few more rooms. Office also needs more furniture. The equipment and vehicles available with TMA are described as under:- Fire Engines TMA has only one fire engine 1984 Model. It has been recently repaired. But fire engine has long finished its life and its time to replace it with a new one. TMA officials informed that a new fire engine may be procured with help of district government soon. Fire Equipment Fire station is poorly equipped and is not capable of performing up to standards with these equipments. The under mentioned fire equipment is available with TMA at present:- Table 4.6: Detail of available Fire Equipment Sr. Description Qty 1 Foam Component 3 % 25 litres 2 Delivery hose pipe 2.5 dia with coupling 100 ft 3 Suction hose pipe 4 dia 1- ft 4 Boots 3 pairs 5 Ladder One (broken) 6 Jet nozzles, Brass 2.5 dia 1 7 Search light 1 Source: TMA record

36 Fire Hydrants There is only one at Fire station, TMA office.

No. Designation Sanctioned posts 1 Fire Station In charge/suptd. 1 2 Fireman 9 3 Driver, Fire engine 3 4 Cleaner 2 Total 15 Source: TMA record TMA fire persons had received training from Civil Defense Department last year but need more training. Overall Situation of Fire Fighting Arrangements Situation is not satisfactory as far as staff placing and equipment is concerned. There is no updated town map available with the staff. The location of fire station is central. Although not many fire incidences have occurred but fire engine needs to be in good working condition. Most of the incidences occur in summer during cotton season. Table 4.9: Proposal Proposal Rationale Beneficiaries Improvement of Fire Station, procurement of new Fire Engine, establishment of new fire hydrants Present fire engine is very old and with several repairs is not capable to perform in efficient way. As fire fighting is essential municipal service modern equipment and training to fire fighting staff is needed. Town of Liaqatpur

37 4.6 Parks Presently, TMA is maintaining two parks: located at Power House road and Allama Iqbal Town. According to the planning standards adopted by the government of the Punjab there shall be at least 5-7 % of the area under parks. Area of Faisal Park in Allma Iqbal Town is 7 kanals and 7 marlas and dimensions are 160 x 250. It needs improvement a sits lack of tracks for walking, enough trees and benches. According to TMA staff waste water is being used here or grass and plantation. Therefore, more parks are needed in Liaqatpur. There is no park in west part f town e.g Kachi Mandi. Table 4.10: Proposal for Park Sub-project Rationale Beneficiaries Improvement of Faisal Park in Allama Iqbal There is no park in Kachi Mandi. As park is Citizens living in west part of the town of Town. an essential municipal Liaqatpur and those service that improves who visit from social life of citizens, surrounding areas. development of park is necessity in West part of town e.g Kachi Mandi Slaughter House Slaughter house was visited by planning team, PMDFC with sanitary inspector. Existing Slaughter House Existing slaughter house is located at Hakeemabad on Rest house Road. The road is metelled but in poor condition. It is built on TMA property. Building is very old and needs repair. It has one hall as well as space in courtyard that is used for slaughtering and skinning. Total area is about 10 marlas. On all sides of the slaughter house there are inhabitants. Opposite to slaughter house is girls school and on one side is boys school. Citizens are living just 100 feet from slaughter house.there is no office. There is not enough parking place in the slaughter house.

38 Water Supply System Water is supplied by public water supply with ¾ GI pipe. There is no storage tank but couple of open masonry tanks that are used to store water that is open not clean. There is a small motor inside the hall that is used when electricity is available. Drainage System Effluent disposal is not connected to sewerage system and is discharged into open ground at back of the slaughter house. Although, contaminates are not toxic in natures, but they can introduce bacterial contamination and increase nitrates, phosphates and sulfates concentration in water, leading to health problems. Solid Waste Solid waste is being dumped in a at back side of slaughter house and is just piling up and not taken away by TMA SWM staff. No treatment is being done on the solid waste generated. Soil is also being contaminated where solid waste is being finally dumped. There is obnoxious smell all around and place is a breeding place for insects and a cause of diseases. Citizens and schools around the place are suffering and complaints have been filed several times to displace this slaughter house to some other location. Existing Establishment The veterinary doctor is on honorarium of Rs. 800/- per month which is extremely low. Due to this reason he is not available during slaughtering and he has deputed a dispenser to check the health of animals. One sanitary worker is attached with the slaughter house. Existing slaughter house is not capable of fulfilling the present slaughtering requirements and is causing environmental and social problems. Solid wastes should be picked up regularly and drainage channel should be developed as short term measures. But, slaughter house should be developed at new site that is away from population.
