There is no comprehensive Policy for carrying out permanent rehabilitation of the villages/areas/Tandas (Makeshift settlements)/settlements etc. which are affected by the aforesaid disasters. Under Government Circular bearing No:- CTN-1083/217/R-12, Dt. 10/02/1983 detailed Guidelines have been issued vis-à-vis Rehabilitation, house repairs, house reconstruction and provision of civic amenities etc. in the villages affected by natural disasters and it inter-alia contains instructions which provide for the manner in which the disaster affected villages are to be rehabilitated by taking a Policy decision at the Government level, from time to time. Moreover, earlier a Policy decision was taken at the Government level and detailed Guidelines were issued vide Government Resolution Dt. 09/01/2006 regarding Rehabilitation of the villages affected by floods caused by the heavy rains in the year 2005. Nevertheless, a period of more than 15 years has elapsed since fixation of the aforesaid Government Policy and in view of the present economic, physical and social scenario and the prevailing Government Policies, the Government contemplated the matter of laying down an all comprehensive Policy which would apply only to the Rural areas vis-à-vis Rehabilitation of the villages/areas/hamlets/Tanda settlements etc. affected by floods and other natural disasters or which fall in such disaster-prone areas.

Government Resolution:-

            The following criteria are hereby laid down for the prompt relocation of the disaster affected, as well as disaster-prone villages/areas/hamlets/Tanda settlements situated only in the rural areas and affected by inundation caused by heavy rains, landslide or development of huge fissures in land, depression of hills or rockfall etc. to new sites and for the Rehabilitation of eligible beneficiaries from such villages.

                 1. The District Disaster Management Authority shall take a decision in the matter of Relocation and permanent Rehabilitation of the villages/areas/hamlets/tanda settlements in the Rural areas affected by such natural disasters as the inundation caused by heavy rains, landslide or development of huge fissures in land, depression of hills or rockfall etc. 

                 2. Moreover, if the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) is of the opinion that it is necessary to undertake temporary rehabilitation of the villages/areas/hamlets/tanda settlements affected by the aforementioned factors, before completion of the permanent rehabilitation, then it shall submit to the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), a proposal to that effect and thereupon, the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) shall take a final decision.

                 3. Where permanent rehabilitation of the disaster-prone villages/areas/hamlets/tanda settlements affected by inundation caused by heavy rains, landslide or development of huge fissures in land, depression of hills or rockfall etc. becomes necessary, the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall submit to the Government, a proposal for a decision of the latter. Thereupon, the Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted under the Government Resolution in the Department of Revenue and Forest, bearing No:- AaVyaPra-2021/Pra.Kra.209/AaVyaPra-1, Dt. 21/10/2021, shall take a final decision on such proposal and an Expert Committee shall assist it in that regard.        

                 4. While drafting a Rehabilitation Scheme, if it is noticed that it might adversely impact the livelihood of the affected people, then the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), shall include in the proposal remedial measures for the mitigation of such effects.

                 5. Once it is decided to carry out Rehabilitation of a village/area/hamlet/tanda settlement affected as above, at a new site, then the Rehabilitation should be completed in the proposed manner by securing compliance of the following matters.

                      (a) Land Acquisition Procedure:-

            As far as possible, the land to be earmarked for rehabilitation should be a government land. However, if a government land is not available or the same is unfit for the purpose of rehabilitation, a private land may be acquired. In view of this requirement, land acquisition for a public purpose shall be initiated as per the provisions of Sections 11(1), 19(1), 21(1), 40(1) and 108 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. In case of land acquisition for the purpose of rehabilitation at a new/some other site, the land holders shall be apprised of the benefits accruing to them under the Act/Direct Purchase Policy and they shall be entitled to choose either of the Options under the Land Acquisition Act/Direct Purchase Policy and accordingly, the District Disaster Management Authority shall prepare a proposal.

                      [b] Beneficiaries Eligible for Rehabilitation:-

                           1. The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall undertake a survey of the concerned village/area/tanda settlement/settlement and prepare a list of the eligible families fit for Rehabilitation and after arranging for an appropriate local publicity, shall take a final decision after carrying out scrutiny/verification.

                          2. The definition of “Family” shall include a person from the family, his or her spouse, minor children, dependent minor brother or minor sister. Moreover, a widow, divorced woman and a woman deserted by family shall be treated as a separate family.

                            (aa) Where more than one family staying in a single house in the old village have their separate Ration Cards/Electricity Bills/Gas connections in the name of the Heads of families (prior to natural disaster) or if they are able to submit a documentary proof which establishes separate status of the family, then for the purpose of fixation of family, such family shall be treated as a separate family.

                           3. Under the prevailing Policy of the State Government, an encroacher family eligible for the Regularisation of its encroachment shall be eligible under this Scheme.               

                           4. The benefits of the Scheme shall not be admissible to the encroachers who are ineligible under the prevailing Policy of the State Government and the District Disaster Management Authority shall promptly remove their encroachments.

                          5. Where the District Disaster Management Authority is of the opinion that it would also be essential to carry out Rehabilitation of the citizens from the fringe areas not falling under the flood affected areas, due to some social or practical reasons, then families from such areas would be eligible for the purpose of Rehabilitation.

                      [c] Plot/Houser Permitted at Rehabilitation Site:-

                           1. Each eligible family shall be eligible for a separate plot of minimum 500 Sq. feet area entitlement.

                          2. Where this original area held by a family is more than 500 Sq. feet, and it is possible to plan the remaining area in the alternative land, then alternative area equal to the original area shall be allotted. However, if adequate land is not available, then compensation shall be paid for the excess area over and above the alternative land.

            Explanation.— Where the area of final plot granted to a beneficiary during the course of Rehabilitation is less than the original land held by him, then the amount payable for the difference in land area vis-à-vis the original land area shall be determined as per the formula laid down under Government Notification Dt. 27th August, 2014 in the Department of Revenue and Forest, which determines the amount of compensation for the land to be acquired in the Rural areas (Market Value X 1.20 + Value of the property or buildings affixed to the land) + (100% Solatium Amount).  

                         3. If the plot a Rehabilitate beneficiary is of Occupancy Class-2 tenure, then he shall be entitled only to a plot of Occupancy Class-2 tenure. If a modification is to be made to the plot tenure, proceedings shall be initiated by the Competent Authority as per the provisions of Government Notification in the Department of Revenue and Forest, Dt. 8th March, 2019. Furthermore, where the original land is of Class-1 tenure, the alternative land to be offered shall be of Class-1 tenure, as well.

                      5. The District Disaster Management Committee shall propose funds per housing unit payable under a Centre or State sponsored Rural Housing Scheme, for such of the eligible families which are found fit for the purpose of Rehabilitation, but which are not beneficiaries under any Centre or State sponsored Rural Housing Scheme and such funds shall be transferred by the Department of Relief and Rehabilitation to the State Housing Management Cell – Rural Housing subordinate to the Department of Rural Development. Thereupon, such Cell shall disburse such funds to the beneficiaries as per the procedure laid down under the aforementioned Schemes.

                      6. For the purpose of construction, the amount payable under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY) or such other Central Government mooted Housing Scheme, prevailing at the relevant time, with such modifications made, from time to time, shall be permitted.

                      7.

                     8. For the affected families which are willing to opt for Voluntary Rehabilitation, the benefits shall be computed and disbursed as per the formula laid down in the Government Notification Dt. 27/08/2014 (Market Value X 1.20 + Value of property or buildings affixed to the land) + (100% Solatium Amount). The amount due to the persons who opt for Voluntary Rehabilitation shall be payable in two installments and in first installment, the amount for construction of house shall be disbursed once such persons transfer their lands in the name of the State Government. In second installment, the balance amount shall be payable once the affected persons upon their relocation, hand over actual possession of their lands.

                      9. If any Body/Person/Company/Trust desires to offer any aid/funds/donation to the rehabilitated persons/Rehabilitated area, they may offer such donation/aid/funds in cash or kind, through the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA).

                      10. Since Rehabilitation under this Scheme, is for the purpose of security of the citizens, they shall not be declared Project Affected Persons under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The benefits/advantages of the Project Affected Persons shall not be admissible to them.          

                 [d] Civic Amenities Permitted at Rehabilitation Sites:-

                      (1) Following Civic Amenities shall be permitted at the site of Rehabilitation:-

                          1. Internal Roads in the settled villages and a perennial road linking with the nearest Main Road.

                         2. Enclosed Sewers for the drainage of sewage.

                          3. Clean water supply for each family as per the prevailing Rules of the Central Government.

                          10. Play Ground for children.

                          11. A Community Hall for every 100 families.

                          12. In case of forest dwelling families, if their forest rights in respect of non-wooden forest produce and their forest rights in ordinary property resources are available near the site of new Settlement and such families are able to enter or access such sites, then it would be necessary to grant them such forest rights. Their former rights in respect of the forest or ordinary property near the place of their ouster along with their aforementioned rights to sources of livelihood shall continue.

                      (2) Ordinarily, the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) or the Maharashtra Housing Corporation shall be appointed by the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) as the Agency for providing civic amenities at the site of Rehabilitation. Where the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) or the Maharashtra Housing Corporation are unable or unwilling to provide such amenities, the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall appoint a Government Body/Zilla Parishad/Private Agency for providing Civic Amenities in such places.

                 [e] Steps to be taken by the District Disaster Management Authority:-

                      1. General:-

                             1. The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall issue a Preliminary Notification in the matter of Rehabilitation and shall arrange for a wider local publicity.

                             2. The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), in consultation with the affected families, shall finalise the Plan for the probable Rehabilitation. While finalising such a Plan, it shall finalise the number of families who opt for alternative rehabilitation, the number of families opting for Self-Rehabilitation and the number of families who refuse Voluntary Rehabilitation.

                             3. Where the number of families to be rehabilitated is 15 or less than such number, ordinarily such families would have to undertake their own Rehabilitation and in such event, the benefits of Voluntary Rehabilitation would be admissible to them. Depending on the local conditions, the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) may even think of their Rehabilitation on the alternative land.

                             4. The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall earmark the area of the plots to be allotted and the area necessary for Civic Amenities.

                             5. As far as possible, the land selected for Rehabilitation should be a government land. However, where government land is not available or the same is not fit for Rehabilitation, then private land may be acquired. During the course of acquisition, such land may be acquired by the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) by following the prevailing Policy under the Land Acquisition Act or by private negotiations. Where in view of the necessity of Rehabilitation, the Land Acquisition Procedure is initiated, the provisions of Sections 11(1), 19(1), 21(1), 40(1) and 108 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 regarding land acquisition for public purpose will have to be followed and in case of land acquisition of villages affected by natural disasters (Rural) at new/other sites, the land holders should be apprised of the benefits accruing to them under the Statute/Direct Purchase Policy and they shall be entitled to choose either of two options under the Land Acquisition Act/Direct Purchase Policy. Where the compensation for land payable by mode of private negotiations exceeds the compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) would be required to obtain prior sanction of the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA). Where there is no unanimity amongst the Rehabilitated families in the matter of alternative land, the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), shall propose the land which is agreeable to more than 50% families. If no alternative land gets the concurrence of more than 50%  families, then the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), in view of the pressing need to complete early Rehabilitation of such families, shall take a final decision vis-à-vis the alternative land.

                          6. Upon Rehabilitation of the alternative land, the Local Self-Government Body (Village Panchayat/Zilla Parishad) shall take over the civic amenities.

                      2. Allotment of Plots and the Procedure:-

            The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall publish the Government approved Plans for the Rehabilitation lands, the Plans for alternative lands, civic amenities etc., in the concerned village.

            The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall apprise all Rehabilitated families identified by it, about such Plans.

            Ordinarily, the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall allot the plots to all families with their unanimous consensus. Where such consensus cannot be established, the District Disaster Management Authority shall allot plots by means of a lottery and the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall have the final say in the matte.  

            A stipulation that before handing over the Letter of Possession in respect of the allotted plot to the concerned family, the family shall transfer its original land in favour of the Government, along with its possession, ought to be incorporated in such Letter and an entry to that effect shall be taken on the Government Record. The original land may be used for social forestry or for such appropriate public purpose, as the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), thinks fit.

                       3. Development of the Redeveloped Land:-

            The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), shall prepare a Budget for the Development Plan, providing for the development of the Rehabilitation land and the amenities to be erected therein and shall submit it to the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) for its sanction.

            Upon grant of sanction by the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall proceed to develop the Rehabilitation land as per the directions of the Department of Disaster Management and Rehabilitation.

            It is imperative that the Rehabilitation work should be completed speedily and within the prescribed timeframe; hence, prompt Relocation of the affected families to safe location is inevitable. Once civic amenities are developed at the alternative site, the civic amenities at original site shall be discontinued.

            After complete Redevelopment of the land and allotment of plots, the District Disaster Management Authority shall declare the Rehabilitation to have concluded. After such declaration, the civic amenities comprised in the Plan shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Village Panchayat.

            In respect of such Schemes, the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) shall submit to the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), a Quarterly Progress Report.

1. Government Resolution No- 2019/Pra.Kra.129/R-12, Dt. 14.10.2022.

——————–

Preface:-

            Under the above referred Government Resolution, a Policy has been framed for carrying out Rehabilitation and providing civic amenities in the villages affected by floods caused by heavy rains, landslide or fissures in the land, depression of hills or rockfall and such other causes, as well as in such disaster-prone villages.      

            2. This Government Resolution provides for the transfer to the State Housing Management Cell – Rural Housing subordinate to the Department of Rural Development of the funds per housing unit payable to such of the eligible families found fit for the purpose of Rehabilitation, which are not beneficiaries under any Centre and State sponsored Rural Housing Scheme through the Department of Relief and Rehabilitation. However, 4% Administrative Charges are being demanded by the Director of the State Housing Management Cell – Rural Housing for taking such action. Under the said Government Resolution, the other amount payable to the eligible families is paid by the District Disaster Management Committee. Hence, if the amount paid for the purpose of housing units is also paid by the District Disaster Management Committee, it would be possible to speed up  the process of Rehabilitation and at the same time, it would be possible to save 4% Administrative expenses to be paid to the State Housing Management Cell— Rural Housing. Consequently, instead of transferring the funds per housing unit payable to the eligible families to the State Housing Management Cell – Rural Housing subordinate to the Department of Rural Development, the Government contemplated the matter of making an Amendment for the payment of such funds through the District Disaster Management Committees.

            3. The said Policy does not offer any clarity regarding provision of the permitted civic amenities in the villages affected by various natural disasters which are already Rehabilitated before the existence of the Policy framed under the said Government Resolution. Hence, the Government contemplated the matter of making an Amendment for the provision of civic amenities permitted under this Policy in the villages affected by various natural disasters which are already Rehabilitated before the said Policy came into existence.

Government Corrigendum:-

            Under the above referred Government Resolution, a Policy has been framed for carrying out Rehabilitation and providing civic amenities in the villages affected by floods caused by heavy rains, landslide or fissures in land, depression of hills or rockfall etc., as well as in such type of disaster prone villages.

            2. In the above Referred Government Resolution Sr. No.5 of “Point No.(c) plot//house permitted at Rehabilitation Site” stands amended as hereunder:-

            “The District Disaster Management Committee shall propose funds per housing unit payable under a Centre and State sponsored Rural Housing Schemes for such of the eligible families which are found fit for the purpose of Rehabilitation, but which are not beneficiaries under any Centre and State sponsored Rural Housing Scheme and such funds should be paid only through the District Disaster Management Committee.

            3. In the said Government Resolution at the end of Sr. No. (2) of “Point No. (d) civic amenities permitted at Rehabilitation Sites” the following text is hereby added:-

            “It shall be permissible to provide civic amenities as per this Policy in the villages affected by various natural disasters which are already Rehabilitated before the instant Government Policy came into existence.”
