and offices at Marala Barrage. The cost of new electric transmission line is calculated as per
WAPDA schedule and is given in the table 3.4:

3.5.2 Telecommunication Poles
45. The MHPP will also impact on 10 number telecommunication poles. The relocation
cost of telecommunication poles is calculated with the consultation of Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) at replacement cost. The cost of relocation of
telecommunication poles is given in table 3.5:

3.6 Impacts on Road
46. The access metalled road measuring 915 m in length from barrage side to I&PD
Colony will be affected. This road will be rerouted along the diversion canal or on flood
embankment within Government land. The construction of metalled road is included in the
bidding documents and bidder will construct the same road. No additional land and amount
will be required.
3.7 Impacts and Mitigation of Transmission Lines
47. A 1.5 Km transmission line will be constructed from power house to WAPDA grid
station (66 KV) adjacent to I&PD Colony within the ROW of the UCC. For this purpose an
estimated total of 21 poles would be erected. All these poles will be installed in the ROW of
UCC. Thus no additional land will be acquired for this purpose. The construction of
transmission line is the part of the contract, no separate contract or funding is required for
this purpose.
3.8 Positive Impacts
48. The MHPP will provide mean annual energy of 50.50 GWh to the national power
supply. The electricity generated will be supplied to the national grid in the region and will
benefit the people and contribute in the economic growth of country.
49. The MHPP will also provide unskilled/skilled jobs during the construction phase and a
limited number of jobs during operation. This will be a bonus for the people of the area.
50. MHPP is a clean and renewable and friendly source of energy and will avoid
contributions to pollution loads, resulting from the alternative use of thermal electricity
generation.
3.9 Budget for Relocation and Construction
51. The cost of relocation and reconstruction of buildings, structures and utilities is
estimated in consultation with concerned departments. Efforts are made to workout realistic
cost /values on the basis of current market values. Table 3.6 gives the break up of relocation
of buildings, structures and utilities including replantation. The PPMU is responsible for
financing to implement the DDR components.
