Kasur Urban Development Report
Chapter I
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
Planning is now a part of Punjab’s local government system with the planning
responsibilities of TMAs, clearly set out in PLGO. Under the devolved system,
the newly created office of TO(P) has the following functions to perform; (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 municipal 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 inadequately skilled staff and lack of up-
to-date maps, necessary equipment and management/ regulation/ and
enforcement mechanisms. As a result, development works are taking place in
a piecemeal manner and lack integrated and coordinated approach.

Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC) was established by


the Government of the Punjab as a specialized organization to help improve
the municipal service delivery in Punjab. For this purpose Punjab Municipal
Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) was launched in July 2006 with the
funding of World Bank. PMSIP envisages an integrated approach to
development for which planning is an integral part.

1.2 PMSIP Planning


The PMSIP thus aims at institutional development of TMAs through improving
systems directly related to their functions and through investments in service
delivery. This objective will be achieved by granting eligible TMAs both
capacity grants and development grants. The World Bank and the
Government of Punjab are funding the Project.

Apart from providing funds for improvement and development of municipal


infrastructure, the key initiative of PMSIP is to assist TMAs in developing their
institutional capacity by providing management support tools like GIS,
computerization of TMA functions, testing laboratory equipment, trainings,
establishment of performance management systems etc.

The most catching feature of the planning exercise is the involvement of the
stakeholders. The objective behind their involvement was to endorse of the
prioritized list by the ones for whom it was prepared.

The Planning exercise is a comprehensive account for the TMA to identify


sectors for efficient allocation of resources on one hand and enhancing their

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 1


Kasur Urban Development Report
capacity to run the projects, on the other hand. This process is hence the
amalgamation of technical inputs and the aspiration of the stakeholders.

1.3 Limitations of PMSIP Planning


The PMSIP development grants fund municipal services only. PMSIP
planning exercise is undEnglish ertaken at CO Units starting from CO Unit
HQ. The prioritized list that is developed is restricted to the UCs falling in CO
Units. Hence the PMSIP planning is not for the entire TMA as it does not
take into account the rural area of a TMA. PMSIP planning ends at the
preparation of prioritized list.

1.4 The Planning Process


The PMSIP Action planning process is a short term process for the rapid
assessment/identification of infrastructure projects.

The Planning Report for Kasur has been prepared by active participation of all
stakeholders including elected representatives, UC Nazim, Naib Nazim,
councilors, and TMA officials through meetings, discussions, formal & informal
interviews and workshop.

To involve the stakeholders in the planning process, PMDFC made entry


point through meetings with Tehsil Nazim and formulation of Working Groups.
Frequent Meetings were also held with the TMA officials including Tehsil
Municipal Officer (TMO) and the Tehsil Officers (TOs), particularly TO (P&C)
and TO (I&S). PMDFC planning team worked very closely with second line
officials of the TO(I&S) office to collect the service delivery data through pre
designed forms.

For socially acceptable and sustainable planning, it was important to


understand the priorities, living styles, attitude, norms, gender sensitivity, and
perceptions of people about their community and physical development.
PMDFC therefore, where possible, ensured informal consultations and
information sharing with the common man.

Apart from consultations with the stakeholders, data relating to urban planning
and infrastructure (both secondary and primary) was also collected for
analysis and preparation of technical list of sub-projects. The available
information through secondary sources was collected through various
documents and publications of the Government, TMA records, and other
development partners. . In addition, GIS map of Kasur was procured by
PMDFC and data layers were developed. This proved to be a powerful tool for
spatial analysis, identification of deficiencies in different sectors, and
identification of projects.

The projects identified on technical grounds were then presented in a


Stakeholders Consultative Workshop for validation and prioritization. The
capacity building projects were finalized on basis of consultations with Tehsil

Nazim, TMO and other officials. The planning process is summarized in the

Kasur Urban Development Report
1.5 Methodology
A bottom up planning approach has been adopted to derive a list of projects
for the TMA. In this process the political leadership and the community has a
significant role, for which the development is meant for.

The prioritized list of projects would facilitate the TMA to make investment
decisions. This list was developed through a comprehensive exercise of data
collection and analysis, the results of which were then presented before the
stakeholders in the form of a list of infrastructure sub-projects to prioritize.

Sources of Data
In general, there were two sources for data collection:
 Primary source
 Secondary sources

Primary Source
The methodology for the collection of data was to verify the available
information with the TMA and PMDFC in the field surveys. However, much of
the information was added by actually taking the observations in the field. For
example for solid waste management data for secondary collection points was
collected.

Secondary Sources
The secondary sources for data collection were TMA record, District Census
Report, information from PHED, Housing and Physical Planning department,
PMDFC Field Appraisal Report (FAR), Feasibilities produced by PMDFC etc.

Primary data collected by the PMDFC under its flagship Institutional


Development intervention, Performance Management System (PMS) was a
good starting point. Under PMS road rating surveys were conducted, the
results of which were used and further verified and updated. Similarly park
and sanitation connections surveys were useful source of information as well
as the information in respect of water supply, solid waste collection and street
light collected and consolidated by TMA on the forms developed and provided
by the PMDFC.

Visioning
The whole planning process stems from Nazim’s vision for identification of
development projects. Therefore, a preliminary meeting was held by PMDFC
with the Tehsil Nazim in order to shape his vision statement which was then
communicated to all of the stakeholders in the planning process. (What was
that vision statement?) PMDFC discussed the prospects of the planning
process with the Nazim and translated his vision in concrete and tangible
targets.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 4


Kasur Urban Development Report
Therefore, the Nazim was involved right from the beginning of the planning
process until the prioritized list was developed.

At the end of the planning process, another meeting was conducted with the
Nazim in which whole planning process was reviewed in the light of actual
field experiences, ground realities and all those issues that were not
visualized at the start of the planning process.

Interviews with the Stakeholders


To assess the overall situation of TMA Kasur, PMDFC held interviews with
stakeholders, i.e. UC Naib Nazims, member of Tehsil council and NGOs.

Formation of the Working Group


A working group comprising of second line officials from the planning and I&S
offices worked very closely with the planning professionals from PMDFC in
the preparation of the plan.

Prioritization Workshop
The list that was developed based on technical recommendation by PMDFC
was then presented before the stake holders including Nazim, UC Nazim,
Naib Nazim, councilors, etc, as they were the best to determine their priorities.
This exercise was done in a workshop, arranged by PMDFC, where the
service delivery needs in the existing system, together with costs,
advantages, disadvantages of the development projects were presented and
discussed with the stake holders.

PROFILE OF TMA KASUR

2.1 General
TMA Kasur is one of the three TMAs of District Kasur. Kasur is the main town
of the TMA. There are 55 Union Councils in the Tehsil out of which 17 fall in
urban
areas/CO units The Tehsil is predominantly rural with only 17 urban Union
Councils out of a total number of 55 U.Cs. According to 1998 Population and
Housing Census, total population and urban population of the Tehsil is
1,157,072 and 366,444 respectively. The TMA has following 05 CO units:

1) Kasur headquarter
2) Khudian
3) Mustafa Abad
4) Raja Jang
5) Kot Radha Kishan

2.2 Location
The city of Kasur is the district headquarters of the District Government, Kasur
and is situated about 55 Km South East of Lahore near the border with India.
The town is connected with Lahore by road as well as by rail. The town is
located in semi-arid sub-tropical climate zone where intense summer heat and
cold weather are experienced.

May-June are the hottest months with an average temperature of 41 degree


centigrade and may rise to even 45 degrees centigrade. The monsoon period
is during July-September. Average annual rainfall is about 500mm .The soils
are mostly alluvial and sandy towards Sutlej River flowing on its western side.

2.3 Area/Demography
As per census-1998, the growth rate of Kasur was 2.72%. This growth of
urban settlements in the city of Kasur is also disturbing natural ecological
process. The impact of this rapid growth has overstressed the already deficit
infrastructure including water supply and its distribution to the consumers.
With this growth rate the present population of the city (year 2005) is expected
to be 296000. It will rise to 387140 in the year 2015 and 506310 in the year
2025. However the trend of growth rate is decreasing in entire country and a
reasonable assumption is that this city will grow at under mentioned growth
rate in future.

Kasur Urban Development Report
CIDA at TMA Kasur
CIDA is also working in TMA Kasur. It has made some input in the preparation
of maps. District map of Kasur and land use maps of the 3 Tehsils namely,
Choonia, Pattoki and Kaur were developed by CIDA. Moreover, 2 UCs were
randomly selected from each Tehsil for the preparation of base maps. A
household survey was conducted with 5% stratified sampling procedure. In
this survey level of satisfaction of the people for services was assessed.
Consultative workshops were also conducted by CIDA in selected UCs.

To start with, the Planning office of TMA Kasur is confronted with the problem
of under staffing. Following Table compares the available posts and filled
posts.

INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF TMA KASUR

3.1 Capacity Building At TMA Kasur


Situational Analysis
TMA Kasur was no different than other TMAs of Punjab in terms of lacking
institutional and individual capacity required to meet post devolution
challenges. Initial field appraisal carried out by PMDFC revealed that:

1. TMA staff was never offered much needed computer training and
necessary hardware essential for creating an automated office
environment.
2. Information flow within the TMA and with its stakeholders was quite
rudimentary and means of communication adopted were notice board
and word of mouth.
3. The complaint center, a mandatory requirement of PLGO 2001, was
not formally established. All complaint resolution was arbitrary and no
record was kept of the same.

PMSIP Interventions
As PMDFC is geared towards improving the skills of TMA staff and considers
improvement in service delivery inconceivable without a strong human
resource base, it introduced human resource development initiatives
unprecedented at TMA level under the umbrella of PMSIP. Since, PMSIP
aims to improve performance and service delivery of TMAs - office automation
is identified as the first step towards achieving these goals.

3.2 Hands-on training for Complaint Resolution


Section 188 of PLGO 2001 lays down for the establishment of a complaint cell
at the Tehsil level. It states:

“Every District Government, Tehsil Municipal Administration, Town Municipal


Administration and Union Administration shall set up a complaint cell for
redressal of grievances within the ambit of their responsibilities under this
Ordinance.”

The Tehsil Nazim and the TMO were involved in setting up a complaint cell at
the TMA office. The complaint cell was established under the supervision of
the TMO Mr. Zahid Naseer Butt and Mr. M. Ashraf, Tax Clerk was nominated
by the TMO to record complaints at the complaint cell. A standard design of
complaint register was developed by PMDFC and the register was handed
over to the TMA. A 1 day hands-on training was given to the officials in

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 8


Kasur Urban Development Report
accordance with the standard operating procedures developed by PMDFC for
complaint resolution.

PMDFC hopes that its ground breaking interventions will go a long way in the
human resource development of TMA Kasur and its staff once equipped with
right skills set can be expected to provide timely, cost effective and reliable
services to the citizens of Kasur.

3.3 Performance Management System


Performance Management System in TMAs is one of the key institutional
development components of performance improvement plan (PIP) that
PMDFC is implementing in partner TMAs. PMDFC has taken the initiative of
implementing PMS in its partner TMAs, under the guidance of Mr. Harry P.
Hatry and Ms Rittu Nayyar Stone from Urban Institute Washington and World
Bank. In March 05, a team of experts from Urban Institute visited PMDFC and
arranged a two days workshop (19 & 21 March 05) at Hotel Avari, Lahore on
Performance Management System.

PMS in TMA Kasur

PMDFC has arranged several workshops, meetings and visits for awareness
and consensus building among the TMA staff.

Data Collection & Analysis


Before initiation of PMS, there was lack of data collection and reporting
culture particularly in municipal service delivery. After development of
performance indicators and selection of core indicators, data collection
formats were developed and shared with the TMAs during the two workshops
held in July 05 (3 & 10 July). Trainings were also provided to TMA staff where
required for data collection. The last two workshops were arranged to train the
nominated TMA staff for road rating and parks survey. TMA Kasur was then
asked to collect and report data on core performance indicators by the end of
July 06, which was used as baseline for year 2006-07.

Kasur Urban Development Report
It almost takes more than four months to clean the data and get the reports in
given reporting formats. The reporting formats were developed as per
discussions with relevant TMA officials. Data for the reported period was
analyzed and its cleaning was done.

3.4 Management Analysis

3.4.1 Staff Perks


Staff Residency/Accommodation:
Tehsil Nazim and TMO has the official residency.

Transportation facility:
There two vehicles available with TMA. TMO and TO(I&S) have jeeps. There
is one other vehicle which is not in working condition.

3.4.2 Office Structure


Building/independent offices:
Though the office building is an old one, yet it is very well maintained. The
traditional character of the building has been retained with modern
construction. All TOs have independent offices. TO I &S office is under
construction while TO P office require more rooms.

Work space:
With the construction of new office for TO I &S more working space will be
created while TO P office is an congested one. TO F and TO R have
independent offices with adequate working space.

3.4.3 Computers:
All TOs including TMO and Tehsil Nazim had computers with them PMDFC
equipped TO P office with the latest computer with a printer.

From the above table it’s evident that important posts of sub-engineer and
draftsman are vacant, affecting the efficiency of planning department. TO(P)
is a sub-engineer from PHED. Field staff can’t cover the entire areas of their
jurisdiction. Property records are not maintained in an orderly manner and no
analysis is made from the existing data. Building inspectors daily visit the city
to ascertain the changes in land uses and if a change is found a notice is
issued. Demolition is mostly done for dangerous buildings after approval from
authorities.

4.2 Mapping
A comprehensive mapping exercise under Geographic Information System
has been undertaken in Kasur by PMDFC. The maps developed through GIS
are base map for roads, land use map, UC boundary map, Map with Mohallah
Names and maps for all service like water supply, sewerage, solid waste
management and street lights.

The exercise would enable TMA staff to use state of art GIS technology and
get first hand experience with techniques of data collection and data analysis.

4.3 Land Use Characteristics


The land use pattern in Kasur is undefined and haphazard. The entire growth
of the town took place in an unplanned and fragmented manner.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 12


Kasur Urban Development Report
The main roads that pass through the town are Shahrah –e- Liaquat Ali,
Shahbaz Khan road, Sadr Diwan road,Khara road, Feroz pur road, etc. The
internal road pattern in the residential area is irregular. The streets are
generally narrow, and congested. The main commercial activity is present
along the main roads. Circular road is the hub of commercial activity. Here lies
a network of roads that serve the commercial activities of the town. Lailane
adda is a very busy chowk in the centre of the town. Adjacent to this chowk is
the Boys High schooland Government Girls High school. The other
educational institution i.e Boys college is in the northern part of the town on
the college road. There is an open space, Kasur Bagh. To the north of Kasur
Bagh is the Civil Hospital.

There are six grave yards in the different parts of the town. Two are in the
northern part, one in the central and one in the southern and the qther two are
in the south western part of the town.
Drain of the city, i.e Rohi nallah passes through the town from Kashir chowk
to south western part of the town.
Railway station is also in the south western part of the town.

4.4 City Zones


The Kasur city is haphazardly developed. All of the land uses like commercial,
institutional, public buildings etc are mixed up in residential area. However,
the central part of the town can be regarded as mixed use zone.

4.5 Housing Typologies

The following information in tables was collected from District Census report,
Kasur, prepared in 1998.

Kasur Urban Development Report
4.6 Growth Directions
The Kasur city is mainly growing in northern direction. A number of small
housing schemes and residential colonies are developing along Raiwind road.
Most prominent colonies are Mushtaq colony, Yousaf town, Zubaida colony,
Madina colony, Abid town, and Elite town.

Some of the development is also taking place in southern direction. Ahmad


Khan town has been developed here. In the east of Kasur, Area development
scheme, Khais Khan town, Saeed abad colony and Defence colony have
developed in recent years.

STATUS OF MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE &


RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Road Network


Kasur is well-connected to other areas
through a network of inter-city roads. The
town is linked to Lahore and Depalpur.

The mixture of fast and slow moving traffic


causes delays, traffic jams, congestion,
pollution and accidents. The overall
condition of roads in the city is
unsatisfactory. Exhibit:

Table 7: Main roads with controlling departments

No. Name of Road Controlling Department


1. Lahore-Kasur road Provincial highway
2. Kasur-Dipalpur road Provincial highway
3. Ganda Singh road Provincial highway

4. Raiwind Road Provincial highway

5. Pattoki Road Provincial highway

Existing condition of TMA Roads

The condition of roads in Kasur is satisfactory. Most of the roads are in good
condition and need minor repairs. Due to non-existence of metalled / paved
shoulders and footpaths, some shopkeepers have encroached on the
shoulders of the roads in busy areas. The existing length, road width, right of
way, and existing condition of metalled TMA roads is given in Annex A.

5.2 Water Supply


PMDFC has initiated “Improvement/Extension of water supply” scheme in
Kasur. Following data has been taken from from the feasibility report of
the consultant as well as data collected by PMDFC.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 15


Kasur Urban Development Report
Served Population
Presently hardly 70% of the total population of the city is served with water
supply. The rest of the population either uses water from its own sources
through pumped water supply or through hand pumps installed by the
individual household. It is proposed to serve the entire population with piped
water supply by the end of the planning horizon.

Sub soil Stratification and Ground Water Conditions

The ground water in the area is sweet; recharge from the river and rain water
is the main cause for sweet water. In upper layers, fine sand and clay occurs
whereas for lower portions and up to about 80 feet, the strata comprise fine to
medium sand with traces of clay. The lower strata are combinations of sand,
both fine and coarse and some locations of clay.

In case of Kasur the recharge to aquifers is vital in order to maintain the


groundwater and to replenish the discharges from the aquifer, either natural or
resulting from man’s activities. Rainwater harvesting and managed aquifer
recharge (often known as artificial recharge) contribute to the maintenance of
the above benefits, particularly if practiced as part of a wider approach to
water resource management that addresses demand and quality dimensions
as well as supply aspects. For sustainable management of a groundwater
resource, demand needs to be managed to balance the recharge to the
aquifer, be it natural, managed or incidental.

Existing Water Supply Situation

Adequate quantity of ground water of potable quality is available in the area.


Ground water drawn through deep tube well is the present source of water
supply. Generally 1.5 cusecs capacity tube wells, about 450-550 feet deep
have been installed. Thirty-one tube wells are presently operating to meet the
water requirements. Out of these, some of the tube wells are not operating at
the designed capacity and their efficiency is decreasing over the period. The
tube wells with depleted discharge should be rehabilitated with different
methods such as surging, acid treatment and air-jetting.

In the past, several water supply schemes have been executed in the city in
three phases of the project as under:

 Phase-I was completed during 1971 which served a population of


about 35,089;
 Phase-II was completed in the year 1981 which served a population of
25,400;
 Phase-III was completed in the year 1986 and served a population of
about 35,735.

Another project under the name ‘Basti Chiragh has been completed in 1994
served a population of 44,000 persons. The total served population with piped

water supply under the said scheme is about 140,240. As such about 150,000
persons are yet to be served with potable water supply.

The capacity of tube wells is 1.5 - 2 cusecs. The tube wells operate

Water Quality

The aquifer under the city of Kasur is comparable with that of Lahore and
therefore, quality underground water is available for drinking purposes.
However, due to the presence of tanneries in the city and Rohi Nullah passing
through the city center, there were reports of presence of heavy metals in the
upper sub soil water. This could be true for shallow waters where there is
every possibility of traveling of heavy metals in the sub soil water but their
presence in the deep waters is not possible due to presence of impervious
strata of clay. Frequent analysis of water by the PHED/ TMA has confirmed
absence of heavy metals particularly chromium in the deep wells. However,
due to faulty distribution system and intermittent water supply in the city,
presence of such metals in the distribution system can not be ruled out.
However, measures are urgently required to protect the distribution system
from the heavy probability of pollution of potable water by waste water
entering into the system through leakages, faulty service connections and
others.

The quality of drinking water supply in the city has been determined by
Participatory Development Resource Cell (PDRC) Lab. Tokyo Institute of
Technology, Japan during August-2001. The sampling points and their quality
in terms of chromium contents are presented in Exhibit-4.10 & Exhibit-4.11.

It is evident from the above analysis that the sampled water carries higher
concentration of chromium than the permissible limit of 0.05 mg/l (WHO
Drinking Water Standards). The situation is critical for samples taken from
water taps of private turbines / hand pumps which implies that chromium
along with other heavy metals travels into / through the strata and finds its
way into shallow waters. The situation is quite grave and requires very serious
considerations for making available to the consumers water from deep well
turbines which are sanitary-protected and are deep enough to eliminate the
chance of its pollution by chromium or other heavy metal. Moreover, the water
distribution system and provision of service connection require more attention
to make the system water tight and eliminate the possibility of entry of polluted
water (with chromium as well) into the system when it is not pressurized.

Kasur Urban Development Report
Distribution Network

The water distribution network had been executed along with the water source
development. The pipe size varies from 3 inches to 16 inches diameter. The
pipe material used comprises; galvanized, mild steel pipes, asbestos cement,
and uPVC pipes. At locations, the pipe has reached to serviceable life / span
particularly galvanized iron pipes which are reported to be heavily corroded
and rusted. Also even incapacitated due to increase in water demands which
has exceeded their limited capacity. The distribution of water in the recently
developed low income areas, is either not available or their inadequacy is
reported.

Water Storage

There is no underground storage of water for the city, and this is not the
requirement when sufficient ground water aquifer is available which could be
pumped either directly to the distribution system or through the overhead
reservoirs.

The existing overhead storage in the city is included in Table

Table 9: Existing Overhead Storage Capacity

Presently the use of the Over head tanks has been stopped for no obvious
reasons. The officials report that due to inadequate water supply form the
tube wells, the storage has been suspended. This argument is not based on
the ground realities. With a little additional pumping, overhead reservoirs
could be filled at night for supply in the morning when demand builds-up.

For a tube well capacity of 1.5 cusecs capacity, 12-hours per day operation,
total number of tube wells required to meet the average water production
would be as under:

5.3 Sewerage
Existing Sewerage System
The part sewerage system was initiated in 1979. Main sewers ranging from
dia 12” to 54” were constructed with total length of 29,474 feet. The work was
completed in 1984 with cost of Rs.19.8 million. Intercepting / lateral sewers
were curtailed because the existing open channels carrying the domestic
sewers were planned to be connected with the main sewers through 100 Nos.
gully grating chambers. The system was closed in 1990 due to non-payment
of electric bills by the Municipal Committee at the time. Overflow from the 54”
dia on the main sewer was allowed to terminate into the Katcha Rohi Nullah
resulting silting up of the sewer. The system was totally stopped after a few
years upto 1990. The domestic sewage flow at present is being taken care by
the Pacca Channels constructed by the local body and is being disposed off in
the Rohi Nullah.

PMDFC collected sewerage data for existing connection through TMA staff
with the following results. Sewerage is partially flowing in two UCs. There are
610 sewerage connections.

This Nullah is presently functioning as an open sewer and almost the entire
sewage and wastewater from the industries / tanneries other than four clusters
now connected with the Common Effluent Pre-treatment Plant (CEPTP) is
discharging to it for its ultimate disposal to Pandoki Seepage Drain. This Nullah
over the period has become a public health hazard / nuisance which required
attention of the people at the helm of the affairs long ago, but unfortunately was
not addressed in the past. Due to its irregular section, deposits of solids, and
other obstructions, the velocity of flow is significantly reduced and as such
production of foul smells in addition to creating havoc during rainy season are
the usual problems associated with it. As such, improvement in the section of
the Nullah by way of its lining will help reducing the intensity of the miseries, but
this is not considered the ultimate solution of the problem, particularly when this
nullah is to function as a primary channel for city sewerage.

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 22


Kasur Urban Development Report
PHED

PHED is planning a sewerage upgradation and drainage project in Kasur. The


project comprises of two aspects.

1) Rehabilitation of existing Sewerage System

The skeleton network of sewerage system is


only in the central part of town and is
abandoned since 1990.
Total length of sewer laid from dia 12”-54” is
29,474 feet. 3,270 feet length of 27”, 36” and
42” dia are completely chocked due to flood in
1989 and entering of road metal/ bajri in the
sewer. The rest of the sewer is 30 to 50%
chocked and desilting is required in order to Exhibit
bring it to operation. The sewers in the old city
and new area along the Ferozpur Road are planned to carry the sewage flow
on Ferozpur Road and onward to Depalpur Road upto the new proposed
disposal station. Whole of the sewage flow in the new disposal station has
been floated to enter in the recipient body (Remodeled Rohi Nullah) under
gravity. The total domestic sewage reaching upto the disposal has been
assessed 68 cusecs. The disposal station will work only during heavy rain
during short period. It is estimated the working of machinery will be for two
months in a year. In the old disposal bypass arrangement has been proposed
to allow the sewage flow in the nearby remodeled Rohi Nullah on gravity.
Comparatively lesser area has been proposed to be catered by the existing
disposal station. The concept of reducing the load on the existing disposal
station is due to reduced efficiency of the existing sewer and narrow streets
which cannot accommodate the bigger diameter or new supporting pipe
(Refer cross-section of roads DRW K-31).

2) Remodeling of Rohi Nullah.

On the upstream side of the bridge on the


Ferozpur Road 3180 ft storm drain has
been designed with section of 6ft x 4.5 ft
and 7 ft x 4.75 ft to drain out 428.27 acre
area. The flow has been calculated using
the intensity duration curve of rainfall
analysis on two years return period. The
rainfall intensity ranging from 1.59 inch/hr Exhibit:
to 1.479 inch/hr according to the time of
concentration and rainfall intensity curve. Total length of the remodeled storm
channel (Rohi Nullah) from downstream of Ferozpur Road bridge upto the
Pandoki drain is 37906 ft with different section according to the catchments
area. The storm flow will discharge in the recipient body- Pandoki drain under
gravity.

Existing Sewerage in the City of
Kasur
Existing sewerage comprises different pipe
sizes of lengths, about 31,000 feet. The
entire present system is not functioning as
required.

The sewage disposal station constructed for


the purpose, close to the Rohi Nullah has
deteriorated over the period. Most of the Exhibit:
mechanical parts have been taken away by
the people, and the station of about 60 cusecs capacity is in the abandoned
state.

5.5 Solid Wastes Management


Waste generation and collection efficiency

The present population of Kasur town is


326,000 by taking generation rate of 0.4
kg/capita/day, generated solid waste comes
out to be 130.4 tons per day. (PMS,
PMDFC)

Solid Waste Management System


The existing solid waste management Exhibit:
system of Kasur comprises of on site
storage, collection, transfer and disposal. Brief description of each activity is
discussed as follows.

Solid Waste Collection


Primary collection is being performed by sanitary workers. The workers carry
out sweeping of streets and roads and collect the solid waste from small
heaps with the help of wheel barrows, brooms etc. and store at permanent

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 25


Kasur Urban Development Report
and temporary collection points. Most of the town is covered by primary
collection except areas that are have been extended by new habitants. There
are two shifts: first starts at 5 am – 11 am, second starts at 2 pm to 5 pm.

Main Dumping Points

All waste generated is dumped inside city


at various permanent dumping places. It is
collected from those points and disposed
of to far locations only when it exceeds
tolerant limits. Main dumping points in the
town are:

Along main Lahore-Ferozepur Road


From Chungi to Steel Bagh Park solid
waste is spread along te main road in Exhibit:
depressions creating an un-healthy
situation.

On the Junction of Ferozepur road and


Shahabaz Khan road
It is a large dump area. Sewerage water is also
flowing in this site creating an unhealthy situation
for residents, polluting the soil and water
underneath.

Near TMA office on Naseem Hayat Road


Rohi nallah is passing at this site. Solid waste
has been dumped at this site for a long time and
has blocked the flow of the nallah completely.

At Circular road and Rohi Nallah Crossing


The nallah is completely choked with solid waste

Needs
Presently with available collection equipment and mechanism only tons are
being collected. Generation rates in future are expected as shown in table
below. But rates of generation may exceed these limits as living standards are
rising in this town.

(tons)

TMA won’t be able to collect these generations of waste amounts with present
resources. There are no designated secondary collection points. A proper
secondary collection system should be introduced. The 40 skips placed in the
town didn’t worked and were abandoned. TMA only had 4 tractor trolleys and
were insufficient for Kasur town. It has recently rented 8 tractor trolleys for
collection purposes. Now, each UC has one tractor trolley at its disposal to
collect solid wastes. It has significantly increased collection of solid wastes.

TMA is dumping almost all waste with the town thus creating in-sanitary &
unhygienic conditions, degrading the environment of the town, emitting
obnoxious smells and providing breeding grounds for mosquitoes and flies.
Main dumping sites are all in the town. There is no TMA land to dispose of
solid waste. Therefore, there is an immediate need of procuring land for
landfill site. As the town is a large one and is expanding in various direction 4-
5 sites could be procured to save operation costs.

Kasur Urban Development Report
Dust Bins
There are about 40 dust bins in the city, out of which 17 are in proper
condition while 23 dust bins are in bad shape/damaged.

Collection Frequency
According to an estimate about 150 tons /day of solid wastes are collected for
disposal to the waste land in the vicinity; hydraulically operated carriers, 2-
Nrs. are available for the purpose.

Present Situation
The present facilities for collection and disposal of solid wastes have
completely failed and situation with respect to solid wastes collection and
disposal is deplorable.

5.6 Fire Fighting


The existing fire fighting system in Kasur is
located near TMA office. There are two sheds for
fire engines. The office is small without proper
equipment. 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 as well as four CO units
located at 21-50 km distances. There are two
sheds as shown in the pic. These sheds are
Exhibit:
makeshift arrangement and not as per proper fire
fighting standards. There is one office but it needs office equipment and more
space. The store is also a small one without requisite equipment.

The equipment and vehicles available with TMA are described as under:-

Fire Engines
TMA has two fire engine – 1984 Bedford model. One has recently been
repaired.

Fire Equipment
The under mentioned fire equipment is available with TMA at present:-

needs for fighting capacity of TMA Kasur.

TMA would be receiving more equipment with the repaired fire engine soon. It
has spent Rs 700,000 for the repair and purchase of new equipment.

Fire Hydrants

There are two (2) fire hydrants in the city.

5.7 Park
TMA is maintaining one park in the town. It
s located near Shabaz Khan Road. It is
not maintained properly. There is a open
nallah flowing on one side of the park
resulting in foul smell all across te park.
There are trees in the park but are not
properly looked after. Benches and
pathways are in poor condition. There are
no wash rooms for visitors. In short, park
is depicting a deserted look. It is located in Exhibit:
a prime location surrounded by citizens.
Proper care can improve the park and render it
useful for citizens who visit it.

5.8 Slaughter House


Slaughter house was visited by planning team,
PMDFC with sanitary inspector.

Existing Slaughter House


Existing slaughter house is located at road in UC-5. It
is located on a 15 feet TST major road. Therefore,
even during rainy season there is not much problem Exhibit:
in accessing the site. It was developed by TMA at its
own property and had served the town well.
There are two sections in the slaughter
house. One is reserved for small animals
and has a separate entrance as well as
separate water storage and parking area. It
has a large skinning and slaughtering area.
Its has three water storage tanks located at
ground level. Second part of the slaughter
house is reserved for large animals. It has
one large water storage area. There is no
Exhibit:

Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 31


Kasur Urban Development Report
solid waste storage place. There is one office but is not used. Parking lot is
just 25 feet deep in front of the slaughtering hall and is uncovered.

Water Supply System


Public water supply connection is available to the slaughter house. It has four
surface water storage tanks where sufficient quantity of water is available for
washing slaughtered animals.

Drainage System
Effluent disposal is not connected to sewerage system and is discharged into
open channel that connects with a large drainage channel that is 200 feet
from the site. 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 across the
road from slaughter house and is Exhibit:
disposed of occasionally by TMA SWM staff. As a result, there is slaughter
house solid waste present in front of the site. No treatment is being done on
the solid waste generated. Soil is also being contaminated where solid waste
is being dumped.

Operation and Maintenance


Timings for slaughter house operations are 3 am – 7 am. The present system
is being maintained by TMA Kasur out of its own resources as the fee of
slaughtering is very nominal. Budget estimated for 2006-07 were 450,000 and
for 2007-08 is Rs 415,000. Total establishment costs estimated for 2007-08
are Rs 364,438.

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.

Kasur Urban Development Report
Existing slaughter house is capable of fulfilling the present slaughtering
requirements as well as social issues are under control. It is kept very clean
by TMA. Discussions with UC-5 Nazim, Fida Hussain (ex-councilor) nd
Ghulam Rasool (local resident) revealed that citizens living around the site
area satisfied with the operations of this place. Keeping in view, TMA Kasur
has a slaughter house that can serve the town for next 5 years. But as it is
located in the town surrounded by citizens it should be relocated outside the
town in future. TMA should be looking for some suitable site for its shifting.

PROJECT PRIORITIZATION

Projects identified were based on surveys, analysis and ‘technical judgment’.


The projects identified needed validation and prioritization by the elected
representatives of the people through consultations.

The following methodology was adopted for the prioritization process.

6.1 Pre-Workshop Consultations


PMDFC held meeting with Tehsil Nazim to discuss and finalize the workshop
methodology. The purpose was to develop a common understanding and
build consensus about the workshop methodology and the proposed projects.
The Tehsil Nazim was requested to invite the participants for workshop and
make available suitable venue for it.

PMDFC briefed how the workshop would proceed, including details about
formation of groups, inter-sector prioritization (i.e. roads vs water supply vs
sewerage etc.), followed by intra-sector prioritization, e.g. in case of roads
sector, individual road projects for the whole town were prioritized.

Group Formation
The participants were divided into 3 groups at random, but it was ensured that
people form same UC may not be included in the same group. Each group
comprised of 4-5 persons.

In the first round, inter-sector prioritization was done. Each group was given a
list of sectors i.e. roads, water supply, sewerage etc. They were first to label
their priority before each sector e.g. if they thought drains was the most
important problem of the town they were to assign 1 before drains, etc.

The results of the Inter sector prioritization were entered into a ‘priority matrix’.
In this matrix, the group-wise sector priorities were entered as assigned by the
group members. Based on the frequency of responses, the inter-sector
prioritization was finalized.

In the second round, group members were asked to prioritize intra-sector


projects. Thus in case of roads, name of individual roads identified were
written Intra sector prioritization matrix. The participants suggested some new
projects to be included, e.g. street lights, which had not been identified by the
PMDFC. The priority-wise projects were then entered in intra-sector priority
matrix, and sub-projects finalized on the basis of frequency of responses.
