Design And Development Forum (DDF) is a professionally managed autonomous
organization. The main functions of DDF are to provide research and consultancy
services in the areas, which have bearing on the creation of infrastructure and built
environment. These include, among others, Design and Development of Human
Settlements, Regional and Urban Planning, Transportation Planning and Engineering,
Environmental Planning and Architectural and Engineering Design. Important area
where DDF has excelled is in the field of feasibility and impact assessment studies.
Key personnel of DDF have worked in India and abroad and have won competitions
and awards for outstanding work.
Haryana Infrastructure Development Board has appointed DDF to prepare the City
Development Plan of eighteen towns of five districts of Haryana State. The three
towns of Jhajjar districts are Jhajjar, Bahadurgarh and Beri. The district headquarter
of Jhajjar is an important NCR town.
This CDP presents a comprehensive perspective of Jhajjar Town, its spatial
characteristics, infrastructure and industrial profile, socio-economic characteristics,
strengths and weaknesses. The proposals made in the Development Plan of Jhajjar for
the year 2021 have been discussed in this report. Inferences have been drawn through
analysis of various existing infrastructure facilities like water supply, sewerage, solid
waste management etc. Major findings and proposals for integrated development of
Jhajjar Town in short-term and long-term perspective are discussed in the report.
Financial implications are also worked out.
The report is the outcome of hard work put in by multidisciplinary team, consisting
of, among others, Regional and Urban Planners, Engineers, Social Scientists and
economists. DDF appreciates the support provided by DC office, Municipal
Committee Jhajjar, PHED, RTO, DIC, TPO, DSO in data collection and
understanding the problem at grass root level.

CITY DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK AND PROCESS
1.1 Introduction
The Government of India has launched Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal
Mission (JNNURM) programme for promoting reforms and investments for selected
cities with focus on efficiency in urban infrastructure, community participation and
accountability of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). The scheme requires states and ULBs /
parastatal organizations to undertake a set of reforms at each level. Parallel to this, Urban
Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) aims for
improvement in urban infrastructure in towns and cities in a planned manner but this
scheme applies to all cities/towns as per 2001 census, except in cities/towns covered
under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). It has subsumed
the existing schemes of Integrated Development of Small and Medium Towns (IDSMT)
and Accelerated Urban Water Supply Programme (AUWSP). The duration of the scheme
is for seven years beginning from 2005-06.
At the same time, Integrated Housing & Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) aims at
combining the existing schemes of Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana (VAMBAY) and
National Slum Development Programme (NSDP) under the new IHSDP Scheme for
having an integrated approach in ameliorating the conditions of the urban slum dwellers
who do not possess adequate shelter and reside in dilapidated conditions. Like UIDSSMT
Scheme, IHSDP is also applicable to all cities/towns as per 2001 census, except in
cities/towns covered under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission
(JNNURM).
Jhajjar town is not among the sixty-three cities identified under the JNNURM. However,
the aim of planned and integrated development of Jhajjar town can be served by the
UIDSSMT and IHSDP schemes. Considering this, the Government of Haryana has
initiated steps for preparation of City Development Plan (CDP) to promote planned and
integrated development of selected towns and cites of Haryana and Jhajjar is among those
selected towns.
1.2 City Development Plan (CDP)

The CDP prepared is both a perspective and a vision for the future development of a city.
It presents the current stage of the citys development, sets out the directions of change
and the thrust areas, and suggests alternative routes, strategies, and interventions for
bringing about the change. It provides a framework and vision within which projects need
to be identified and implemented. It establishes a logical and consistent framework for the
evaluation of investment decisions.
The City Development Plan emphasizes on issues of priority of local concerns for urban
renewal and infrastructure like water supply; sewerage and solid waste management;
construction and improvement of drains/storm water drains, electricity, construction/up
gradation of roads, highways/expressways; parking lots/spaces; capacity building of local
bodies; disaster management; development of heritage sites and preservation of water
bodies.
Towns with rapid growth in population are putting heavy pressure on services and the
urban local bodies are not been able to meet the demands and expectations. To address the
present and emerging infrastructure needs and services delivery gaps in Jhajjar town area
the city development plan need to be prepared. The key objective of the plan is to
formulate a development strategy for meeting the emerging challenges of infrastructure,
address the problems of urban poverty and create enabling environment for the growth of
economy.
1.3 Scope of CDP

The CDP outlines the strategic policy and investment interventions to achieve the vision
of Jhajjar Town including formulation of sectoral plans for the identified sectors. The
scope of work is to focus on areas like
Urban Infrastructure
Services for Urban poor
Human Resources and Institutional issues
Financial Management

The City Development Plan will help in:
Defining the growth directions and the need for up-gradation of services in the
town
Reviewing the demand for projects for various sectors
Assessing the heritage conservation/preservation needed in the towns, if any, and

propose required technical inputs and financial investment
Defining existing water bodies like ponds, lakes etc. in the town and assess the
technical and financial resources needed to revitalize them.
Defining specific capital investment needs for rehabilitation and additional capital
investment needs in both the core city and in urban poor areas.
Assessing the gap in financial resources for meeting the investment needs
Assessing the gap in municipal governance, specifically in the areas of financial

management, operations and maintenances of core services and in e-governance
and
Assessing reforms required in local service delivery.
1.4 City Development Plan Preparation Process

The City Development Plan (CDP) preparation is mostly based on the secondary data
collected from concerned departments and public reports. Some conclusions are also
based on site inspection and discussions with officials of concerned departments engaged
in providing and maintaining various infrastructure facilities and residents of town.
The CDP presents the city development issues, deficiency analysis and a management
framework outlining strategies and guidelines for future growth. The CDP - considered as
an inter-sectoral exercise - takes into account the existing situation including assessing the
status of municipal services, its fiscal status, operational and management procedures.
The CDP also takes into consideration the works and plans of other government and
quasi- a government agency contributing towards the growth and development of the city.
The whole methodology is broadly divided into five major stages as indicated in the
Figure 1.1.

DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE
3.1 Introduction
The demographic characteristic, a major component in the formulation of a CDP, is
analyzed in terms of the pattern of population growth and its spatial spread within the
city. The analysis reflects its population growth as excessive by natural increase, inmigration and jurisdictional increase. The social composition of the towns population has
been analyzed through indicator like persons below poverty line, scheduled caste and
scheduled tribe persons, age and sex structure and labour force.
3.2 Growth Trend

Jhajjar had a population of 39,004 persons in 2001, with a growth rate of 40.8 % during
the decade 1991-01. The growth pattern of the town is shown is Fig 3.1.
Figure 3.2 Growth Trend in Jhajjar Town
Source: Development Plan for Jhajjar-2021AD
The town had a declining growth rate in all the decades from 1951-1991, where as it
registered the highest growth rate of 40.8% during the last decade due to recognition of
the Jhajjar town as the district headquarters during 1997,resulting very high rural-urban
migration from surrounding areas for jobs. Shifting of district level offices and
construction of mini secretariat added attraction to the town.
Considering the high growth rate in the previous decade, planning for induced economic
activities the population projections for the year 2011 and 2021 are done on an average
growth rate of 60%. As per development plan of Jhajjar town, 2021.
3.3 Population Density and Spatial Spread

The administrative limits of the Municipal Committee Jhajjar encompass an area of 6 sq
km. The population density of the town is worked out as 6500 persons per sqkm as per
2001 census. The density is high in the core area of the town, near the bus stand and
commercial areas.

As shown in Table 3.1 the gross density has been steadily increasing from 4041 persons
per sq km in 1981 to person per sqkm in 2001. Density of 65 persons per hectare is low
when compared with the standard, UDPFI guidelines recommends density of a small
town (Population less than 50,000) to be 75-125 ppha. This indicates scope for re
densification of the existing town area.
3.4 Age Structure & Sex Ratio

Sex ratio in Jhajjar was 859 females to 1000 males in 2001, which is almost same as the
state average which is 861. When compared with the district, sex ratio of Jhajjar town is
higher than the district average of 839. Which may be due to out migration of male
workers for jobs to Delhi or nearby industrial units.
3.5 Literacy
Literacy rate of the town was 80.1% as per 2001 census, which is higher when compared
to the district average of 72.4%. Female literacy was 70.5% which is much higher than

Below Poverty Line (BPL):

Recently State Government Haryana scraped the survey conducted to identify families
below poverty line. This survey was conducted on the basis of 13 socio economic
indicators. These include size of operational holdings of land, type of houses, average
availability of clothing, food security, sanitation, ownership of consumer durables,
literacy status of highest literate adult, status of household labour force, means of
livelihood, status of children aged between 5-14 years, type of indebtedness, reason for
migration from household and preference of assistance.
Now the Haryana government will conduct a fresh survey on five indicators which
include- land holdings, type of houses, household good, literacy level of the earning
members and source of livelihood for granting assistance to the poorest under the anti
poverty programme. This survey is expected to be completed by 31st May 2007.
3.7 Occupational Pattern

The workers participation of the town was about 34.20% of the total population in the
year 2001. According to census 2001, 14.1% of total workers were engaged in
agricultural activities, 5.5% engaged in industries and 80.4% in other occupation. (Refer

activities. (Refer Table 3.4 and figure 3.2) The household workers constitute more of
females which clearly shows the tendency of the females to work from home. This should
be kept in mind while developing any kind of infrastructure for females. .(refer table 3.5)

3.7 Emerging Issues and Concerns

It is evident that the unprecedented growth rate of 1971-81 will not be maintained but still
the town will have a significant growth rate. Besides, establishment of several govt.
offices and agro-based industries, the town will have significant impact on increase in
population in decades to come. But the infrastructure facilities at Jhajjar are not able to
cater to the existing population. Therefore infrastructure facilities both social and physical
need to be enhanced both in qualitative and quantitative terms to cater to the present as
well as projected population.
3.8 Projected Population and Growth Rate

As stated earlier, the trend of population growth is varying in every decade and its trend
cannot be taken as main parameter for its further projection, The town and country
planning department, Government of the Haryana projected population size for the year
2011 and 2021 as 62407 persons and 100000 persons respectively assuming a growth rate
of 60 % for 2001-2011 and for 2011-2021. (Refer Table 3.6)

LAND USE PATTERN
4.1 Introduction
Land and its use form the base of any development. Land is the most crucial economic
tool for planned development of the urban areas and achievement of social objectives
through its judicious allocation for future use.
4.1 Existing Land Use

Jhajjar is situated along National Highway on a bowl shaped platform. The beauty of city
of Jhajjar lies in the clock tower that lies in the heart of the old town and the almost stable
low skyline.
Photo 4.1: Town Area
Photo 4.2: Clock Tower
4.2 Issues and Concerns

The study of existing land use pattern of Jhajjar town indicate unbalanced development
having unproportionate residential, commercial and industrial areas. The existing town is
characterized by haphazard mixed land use pattern, unbalanced neighborhoods, slums and
unplanned shopping areas without parking facilities.
4.3 Policies and Proposals

4.3.1
Land Requirement and Proposed Land Uses
The Town has been planned keeping in view the present trend, physical constraints, and
future possibilities of growth for a population of 100000 in 2021 AD. Most of the vacant
areas around the existing town have been found sufficient to accommodate the population
of 100000 in 2021. The whole town has been divided into 17 wards. The major land uses
characteristics have been given in table 4.1and figure 4.1.

4.3.2
Extent of Various Land Uses:
Keeping in view the above facts and consideration various land uses have been proposed
with town planning principles for a population of 1 lakh by 2021 A.D.
Residential
Jhajjar town has been proposed to be developed for projected population of 1 lakh
persons by 2021 AD. The existing town would accommodate about 20,000 persons in the
long run. The rest of the population would be accommodated in new residential sectors
with average net residential density of 225 persons per hectare. The sector adjoining to
industrial sector has been proposed to be developed at higher residential density of 250
persons per hectare whereas other sectors have been proposed to be developed with
residential density of 200 persons per hectare. The sectors proposed for residential
purpose are 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 12A and 13 sectors.
Commercial
An area of 60 hectare has been proposed to be developed for commercial use in sector-1.
This sector would also function as a city centre. The above commercial area also includes,
15

the areas earmarked for vegetable and fruit market and grain market already developed in
Mandi Township area.
Industrial
The N.C.R. Plan recommends the shifting of industries from non conforming areas of
Delhi to various towns of N.C.R. The Honble Supreme Court of India has also banned
the functioning of some of the industries in Delhi area and has given directions to N.C.R.
participating states including Haryana State for relocating such industries in their
territories, keeping in view, the aforesaid N.C.R. policy and direction of the Honble
Supreme Court of India, it is expected that Jhajjar town would also attract industries as its
potentiality for industrial development has increased due to declaration of Rewari-JhajjarRohtak-Jhajjar National Highway. This town would also get boost in its industrial growth
on completion of Rewari-Jhajjar-Rohtak-Jhajjar rail link as proposed in the N.C.R. Plan.
Keeping in view the aforesaid facts, an area of 110 hectare have been earmarked for
industrial purpose in sector No. 10 of the Draft Development Plan. In this industrial zone,
only non polluting light and medium industries would be allowed.
Transport and Communication
As per N.C.R. Regional Plan 2001 for NCR, the proposed stretch of inner road grid i.e.
Jhajjar-Jhajjar-Gurgaon Road and outer road grid i.e. Rewari-Jhajjar-Rohtak Road have
been proposed to be widened and strengthened as two lanes. The Rewari-Jhajjar RohtakJhajjar road has already been declared as National Highway-71, A broad gauge single
track, Rewari-Jhajjar-Rohtak rail link is also proposed as per NCR Transportation Plan,
which will connect Jhajjar with Delhi-Rohtak and Delhi-Jaipur rail links. With the
implementation of aforesaid road and rail networks, Jhajjar town will emerge as an
important node. A Transport Nagar has also been proposed to be developed under roads
and communication use.
Public Utilities
An area of about 95 hectare has been proposed for the development of public utility
services like provision of water supply, electric grid sub-station and disposal work etc. In
addition to the existing 132 KV. Sub-Station located on Jhajjar Gurgaon Road, another
sub station has been proposed on Jhajjar-Bahadurgarh Road asper requirement of the
electricity department. The capacity of existing Jhajjar out fall drain is to be enhanced to
carry sewerage and storm water of the town for its ultimate fall in Drain No. 8. also an
area of 36 hectare is proposed for water works and electric substation on Bahadurgarh
and Gurgaon roads respectively. For solid waste, disposal, an area of about 10 hectares
16

has been proposed on Jhajjar-Chhuchhakwas Road. In all an area of 95 hectares would be
developed under public utility use.
Public and Semi Public Uses.
Jhajjar town is one of the important N.C.R. town which would also accommodate some of
the offices and institutions proposed to be shifted out of Delhi. Keeping in view this
factor and the further demand of Jhajjar town, an area of 95 hectares has been proposed to
be developed for public and semi-public uses in sectors 1, 9-A and 14.
Open Spaces and Green Belts
The Rewari-Jhajjar-Rohtak National Highway is passing through Jhajjar town. The
N.C.R. plan proposes 100 meter wide green belts along both sides of National Highways.
Accordingly, this provision has also been made in the Jhajjar Draft Development Plan.
However, along all schedule Roads i.e. along Jhajjar Gurgaon Road, Jhajjar-Badli Road,
Jhajjar Bahadurgarh Road, Jhajjar Sampla Road, Jhajjar Dadri Road, Jhajjar-Kosli Road,
a green belt of 30 metres have been provided and to cater the needs of Sports Stadium and
Play Ground in Sector 10 has been reserved for the same purpose. Being a small town, the
aforesaid green spaces covering an area of 120 hectares have been considered sufficient to
cater the need of open/green area at town level. The local level needs of park and open
spaces would be taken well care-off while preparing the layout of individual sectors. In
the Draft Development Plan of Jhajjar town, an area of 20 hectares has been reserved for
development as a recreation zone. This area is dominated by the existence of artistically
designed group of seven large tombs of local celebrities including a tank of Shah Ghazni
Kamal and a large ghat of 17 steps flanked by octagonal towers made in 1626 A.D. At
present it become an attraction to the public. Mainly, this area is owned by the Punjab
Wakaf Board. The property of Punjab Wakaf Board can not be sold to any person, that
can be utilized for any public purpose by taking the said land on lease. In this
development Plan, it has been proposed that the said land would be developed as a special
scheme by the Tourism department of Haryana by taking the said land on lease from the
said Board. In order to make this scheme economically more viable, in addition to the
maintenance of existing historical monuments, the development of lush green well
landscaped parks fully decorated with various types of fountains and lights, construction
of motel, restaurant, hotel and a petrol filling station would be allowed in this zone.
Agriculture Zone / Rural Zone
17

The rest of the controlled area i.e. controlled area outside urbanizable area has been
designated as agricultural zone/rural zone. This zone will, however, will not eliminate the
essential building construction and development within this area such as extension of
existing village contiguous to ababi-deh if undertaken under project approved or
sponsored by the Government for other ancillary and allied facilities necessary for
maintenance and improvement of an agricultural area.
4.3.3
Zoning Regulations
The legal sanctity to the proposals regarding land use is being given to the effect by a set
of zoning regulations which from a part of this development plan. These regulations will
govern the change of land use and standards of development. They also will elaborately
detail out allied and ancillary uses which will be permitted in the various major land uses
and stipulate that all change of land use and development shall be in accordance with the
details shown in the sector plan thereby ensuring the preparation of detailed sector plans
for each sector to guide the development and enforce proper control
4.3.4
Availability of Vacant Land
There are three government owned vacant sites available in the city. One of these is
having bus stand. This land can be developed to locate underground parking, and
Informal sector activities on first floor. Beside they may be permitted to roam around in
the city for four hours a day i.e. from 8a.m. to 10a.m. and 5p.m. to 7p.m in designated
localities. The rest of the time they can do their business by standing in this allotted
spaceon nominal charges. They can park their rehdis in the parking space in the basement
The second floor will have Institutional (office) use. Initially the above suggested plan
can be followed but in later stages the bus terminal which is located in the heart of the
city must be shifted in outer areas of the town
The second site located in ward No.11 had a depression which has been filled up and now
the area is proposed to have a commercial complex and parking space.
The municipality office is proposed to be shifted from the existing fire office building to
the clock tower which will also house the library. Once this office is shifted, the shops
abutting the entrance on the clock tower have to be relocated. These shops can be shifted
to the vacant land near Police station and above city bus stand.
Beside, public toilets i.e. eco toilets should be constructed at all above specified location
as well as in Shaheedi park and in newly developed bus stand in HUDA area.

In the above table the land uses are taken on the basis of the vision which is developed
looking at the current trend of growth of the area and near by towns surrounding it like
Bahadurgarh a Industrial centre and proposal of SEZ and construction of Kundli, Palwal
and Manesar Expressway; more residential facilities are required for the town to
accommodate the projected population.

Key Issues & Strategy Options for Growth Management

Key Issues & Observations
Although Jhajjar town has a potential to develop as an Industrial town but to strengthen
the industries and economy of a town, there is a need to have a good infrastructure base.
As specified in UDPFI guidelines the industrial use for this kind of town should be
between 8%-10% of total land use. But in case of Jhajjar, land under industrial uses is
17%. Which established that Jhajjar town will be induced to develop as an industrial town
of Haryana state. For the Industrial development existing infrastructure in terms of
quantity and quality is inadequate in Jhajjar. Which need to develop to sustain industrial
activities.
The current population is largely concentrated in the core city area, resulting in
enormous stress on the infrastructure concentration in core city area and
deteriorating quality of life, apart from increasing disaster vulnerability.
The primary barriers to the urban sprawl are the inadequate coverage of
infrastructure throughout the city.
19

Large tracts of undeveloped land in Jhajjar, is outer side of the town, but
development hasnt kick started primarily due to inadequate connectivity, absence
of public transport facilities and lack of other basic infrastructure facilities.
There is a pressure on citys infrastructure systems from fringe areas that rely on
the city for economic as well as other services. These areas need to be considered
while planning for infrastructure development in Jhajjar as they would eventually
constitute part of the larger urban settlement.
4.3.6.2
Strategy Options
State Government and the Municipal Committee should make a conscious efforts in
controlling the city sprawl in a phased and planned manner, adopting best practices in
urban development and planning norms. There is an opportunity in the form of
availability of large developed tracts of land in around the town where development can
be planned and regulated in a phased manner. The growth management strategy should
thus focus on:
Controlling and guiding urban sprawl in a phased manner applying modern
principles of physical planning and growth management.
Planning and providing for infrastructure, including connectivity in the line with
the intended growth plan, rather than attempting to only service already congested
areas the focus should be dispersing growth more evenly across the city.
Applying innovative methods of using land as a resource to finance development,
like TDR, FSI banks and land pooling mechanism like the TP scheme, etc.
Formation of a Special Planning Authority covering Jhajjar municipal area and
urban fringe areas, to arrest indiscriminate sprawl and ensure equitable and
sustainable urban development.

Policies
Alternate Development Strategies
Sustainable Urban Development in Jhajjar District:
Cost of development, operation and maintenance of five basic infrastructure networks,

namely railway, highway, pipeline, power grid and communication are highly sensitive to
the location and structure of cities. A spinal type of linear corridor development along the
existing railway lines or on the national highway/ state highways in the Jhajjar District
would prove to be the most cost effective and environment friendly pattern for urban
development of the region.

Figure 4.2 Corridor Development
The available infrastructure and its potential must be exploited to the maximum extent.
Corridors with the high growth potential can be identified and developed for future
urbanization. A typical corridor of about 65 km connecting Jhajjar with Delhi would be
ideal for the pilot scheme which can be extended further. The corridor consisting of
railway, highway, pipeline, H.T.power line and communication lines would form the
infrastructure spine. (refer figure 4.2)
Primate city syndrome
There is a need to arrest the migration from the rural areas and small towns to large cities
and encourage reverse migration to rural areas through creation of job, improving the
quality of life, providing basic amenities and improved access to the city. This will lead to
insitu urbanization of select rural locations. This calls for providing urban amenities in
rural areas besides providing employment and income generation avenues.
Commercialization
Infrastructure and habitat development would involve seed capital and recurring
investments in operation and maintenance. This would be possible through introduction
of commercial principles in recovering the cost from the beneficiaries through a host of
user pay instruments. The principle of user pay, abuser pay and polluter pay needs
to be utilized to ensure cost recovery.
Privatization
21

The private sector needs to be brought in the development and provision of infrastructure
and habitat. The private sector participation could help in bringing technical and
managerial expertise, improving operating efficiency in the use of capital and increased
responsiveness to consumer needs and preferences. The various options for involving the
private sector could be service Contracts, Management Contracts, leases, Concessions,
BOT, BOO, ROT etc. (annexure II)
Project Based and Industry Based
Every mega project needs resettlement and provides potential and new opportunities.
New mega industrial projects, SEZs and Food processing industries provide basic jobs
and create multiplier effect for other related employment opportunities.
The industrial houses from these anchor industries have to be attracted in the planning
stage itself. The local resources should be appropriately identified and used in supporting
the industrial requirements while planning, implementing development of the town.

ECONOMY OF THE TOWN
5.1 Introduction
The economic base refers to the key sectors that drive the citys economy. The analysis
has been focused for identifying the lead sectors of the towns economy, and examining if
the growth within the lead sectors likely to be maintained in a medium-term framework.
5.2 Areas of Economic Activity

5.2.1
Trade and Commerce
The workers population indicate an increasing pattern from last three decades, being the
commercial activity, predominate the scene. The town of Jhajjar is traditionally the
agricultural market center for the hinterland. It acts a commercial center to retail activities
dealing in consumer goods located near bus stand, etc. There was a new Anaj mandi
(Grain Market or Agricultural Produce market) located within the town with shops and
platforms to auction various agricultural commodities. A market committee was
managing the market. In addition there were several private shops and municipal markets.
There were about 3122 shops/ establishments located in the town. There was a persistent
demand for the commercial spaces in the town despite the presence of the above
establishments due to vibrant trade and commerce activities. Ward wise distribution of
shops etc are shown in Table 5.1.

It is quite evident from the table 5.1 that ward no. 1, 15, 14, 2, 12, 13 and 8 are highly
commercialized areas, having more than 200 commercial establishments.
5.2.2
Industries
The town was observed to be less industrialized as main industries are located in the near
by town of the district. However some small scale industries were located in the town like
katha manufacturing, rubber, wooden furniture, agricultural machinery, marketing of
agricultural machinery etc. It was serving as mandi cum service town dealing with
marketing of agriculture produces and allied products as well an administrative centre.
5.2.3
Agricultural Sector
In the agriculture sector the town has been supplying locally manufactured conventional,
as well as modern tools and implements. Educational and training programmes are being
run by the agriculture Departments for the welfare of the farmers.
5.2.4
Informal Economy
There is a sizeable presence of informal sector activities and enterprises in Jhajjar town,
which produce comparatively inexpensive goods and services while providing abundant
opportunities for self-employment to a large section of population. This unorganized
sector has to be recognized as an important segment of urban human activity, which is
making positive contributions to the growth, and economic development of the town.
24

For strengthening the economic base of Jhajjar needs efforts to induced employment
prospects by attracting more industries and related infrastructure. Beside diversified
efforts required to strengthen trade, commerce, industry, transportation, storage,
communication and construction sectors need in the town
5.4 Policy and Proposals

New agro-based industries need to promote and various fiscal incentives can be availed
under Industrial Policy of Haryana State. Government of Haryana has divided the state
into three zones for the purpose of grant of fiscal incentives i.e. grant of exemption
/deferment of sales tax and payment of octroi. The industries falling in the negative list is
not be eligible for any incentive i.e. sale tax exemption/deferment/capital investment
subsidy and electricity duty exemption.
The new industrial units setup in Zone-C is given the benefit of sales tax deferment only.
All new industrial units are exempted from the payment of octroi on capital equipment,
building materials and raw material used by them for a period of five years in Zone C.
The period of exemption commences from the date of provisional registration with the
Industries Department.
There is tremendous growth potential in the area of tertiary sector activities. The cotton
industries, Rice selling, Iron and steel fabrication, Milk chilling, Leather goods, Hard
board & Straw board, Tractor assembling, Wooden handicrafts and Bread & biscuits etc,
several government offices and institutions are located in this towns.
5.4.1
Entrepreneurship Development Programme
The state will take effective measures to promote entrepreneurship for rapid

26

5.4.7
Strategy Options
Jhajjar has unique inherent economic drivers that could be nurtured and promoted in a
systematic manner to generate high overall economic growth. The key inherent economic
drivers for the town lie in the services sector, including education, health and trade &
commerce. There is potential for industrial development in the region, as well given the
availability of water, land and strategic regional setting by way of proximity to
Chandigarh in the north and Hisar in the south.
Some of the strategy options include:
Promote industrial and overall economic development by capitalizing on inherent
strengths like abundance of water and proximity to regional centers like
Bahadurgarh, Ambala and Chandigarh.
Improving and strengthening regional connectivity
Developing infrastructure and leisure facilities in Jhajjar aimed at providing a
good quality of life to attract and retain good quality manpower in the areas of
hospitality, education, health care services industry managers and skilled
workforce.
Develop leisure/entertainment facilities in the immediate short term including
beautification of towns landscape.
Branding and marketing of Jhajjar in national international context.
Develop local skill of shoe making in the international context.
Develop riverfront including heritage walkway, bathing ghats and sanitation
facility.

HERITAGE AND CONSERVATION
6.1 Background
Heritage is what we receive from the past. It shapes our present identity and provides
insight for our future. It includes a range of activities such as stewardship, preservation,
research, education and engagement. It encourages sensitivity to the indigenous natural
environment, to the impact of human activity on the natural environment, as well as to
differing perspectives regarding objectives, ideas, places and traditions.
Water bodies as resource give a character to the town. Water bodies act as recharge zones
and can be developed as a recreational center with various allied activities. Similarly, the
heritage sites/buildings give an identity to the town. However, these sites/buildings are
not conserved properly.
6.2 Why is Heritage Important

Heritage is important to the community because:
Heritage gives a cultural value to an area that helps to define a sense of place and
provides a context for everyday life. The appreciation and conservation of this
fosters distinctiveness at local level.
It has an educational and academic value providing a major source of information
about our ancestors, and the evolution of our society. It provides a means for new
generations to understand the past and there own culture.
Heritage can make a significant contribution to economic development by
encouraging tourism, but more generally it supports viable communities by
creating pleasant environments where people prefer to live and work.
Heritage plays an important role in providing for peoples recreation and
enjoyment. Increasingly, the past and its remains in the present are a vital part of
peoples everyday life and experiences.
Archaeology and historic buildings make a major contribution to the aesthetic
quality of townscapes and landscapes, enhancing the familiar scene of our historic
towns and villages giving historic depth and interest to our countryside

6.3 Heritage Sites

6.2.1
Shaheedi Park
This area is dominated by the existence of artistically designed group of seven large
tombs of local celebrities including a tank of Shah Ghazni Kamal and a large ghat of 17
steps flanked by two octagonal towers made in 1626AD.
At present the aforesaid monuments are lying in the

form of ruined buildings. These monuments, if
maintained properly, would become an attraction to
the public. Mainly this area is owned by Punjab
Waqf Board. The property of Punjab Wakaf board
can not be sold to any person but can be utilized for

6.4 Water Bodies

At present there are four johad/ pond in the town.
Photo 6.3 Baba Gazi Kamal Pond
6.5 Issues and Concern

An emerging concern was to link the quality of life of the historic city with its built
heritage. Overlaying this were challenges of social change, attendant aspirations and
inevitable popular cultural dynamics transforming traditional systems. This expanded
definition of heritage seemed almost impossible to address as each proposed and
attempted solution in turn gave birth to a host of new problems as it became clear that
urban development, planning and environment all are inextricably interlinked. This phase
also lead us to take on the enormous task of addressing a complex matrix of issues
ranging from the revitalization of historic cities to the development of traditional skills
and practices in conservation.
The Jhajjar city has a flavour of its own with so much influence of history. The
development has to have the outlook of the history in its external facade.
Major heritage issues of the town are:
There is no integrated tourist development plan.
Community participation in development of heritage sites is missing.
Maintenance of existing temple which was the legacy of the town.
Need to develop Johad/ pond area as recreational sites.
No proper care of the fort which is historically important.
30

6.1.1
Strategies
The Clock tower and Johad/pond which are present in the town need to be
developed as recreational sites. The Johad/pond has water in all season. Therefore
for development as a recreational site we have to develop different recreational
activities like, boating etc. This will help in recharging water table, development
of town level park at pond side and throughout the year activities on this secluded
stretch of land. Private partner may be involved to participate in the development
water front or recreational site. The sites even if outside the municipal limit but in
the near vicinity of the town can be developed and integrated with the the heritage
sites in the town. Old clock tower can be conserved as a historic site of the town
which shows the history of the town. Some part of open spaces can be developed
as an amusement park so that tourist attraction increases in the town and play an
important role in Jhajjar economy.
Private partner may be involved to participate in the development of recreational site. For
the convenience of general public, one guide map should be provided at each of the major
entry to residential areas of the town. Thus, there may be three to four guide maps per
sector/ ward/ mohalla. One guide map of sector/ ward/Mohall may also be provided in the
shopping area. One guide map indicating development plan/ master plan of the residential
areas of the town may be provided at each major entry of the town. The advertisement
right at the bottom of the Guide Map may be given to the professional agencies on PPP
basis against which the agency shall provide and maintain the said Guide Map for a
minimum period of three years.
Besides this city as a whole can be beautified by planting of more trees and plants, which
give city a different and soothing looks. Following species can be planted in roundabouts
or in parks or at a specified location:

It is estimated that initially a sum of Rs. 2 crores each will be

required to conserve and protect the ancient clock tower. There is a
need to develop an integrated development. Although, total financial
package for the conservation of the clock tower can be worked out
only after the detailed research is done and integrated tourism
master plan is prepared. In the initial stages the sum of Rs. 4 crores
need to be earmarked to undertake the development of ponds and
their surroundings, but the detail costing will be done after the
preparation of detail project report. The total financial implications
for this sector at the initial stage will be Rs. 6 crores.
The comprehensive heritage development plan needed to be
prepared with the help of restoration experts. The total financial
requirement and time budgeting could be worked out based on the
recommendation of heritage development and restoration plan.
Total Cost of the Project :
Rs. 6 Crore

WATER SUPPLY
7.1 Introduction
The infrastructure profile refers to the status of infrastructure and utility systems in the
town. Its analysis has been indicated the adequacy or inadequacy of infrastructural
services in terms of coverage, quantity, and quality. The gap between demand and supply
of different infrastructural services has been measured. The cost of delivering services
and recoveries made from them has been also reviewed.
Urban growth both spatially and population wise puts pressure on infrastructure,
particularly water supply, sewerage, solid waste, drainage, electricity, traffic and
transportation etc. Unless infrastructure is improved to the required level, quality of life
suffers. Most importantly, it influences economic development of the city and investment
climate.
The Haryana Public Health Engineering Department provides and maintains water supply
and sewerage facilities in Jhajjar. This department is responsible for planning, design,
construction, implementation, maintenance, operation & management.
7.2 Existing Status

7.2.1
Sources of Water Supply
The present water supply of the town is depends mainly upon canal system. Jhajjar Town
is having population 39004 persons as per 2001 census. The main source of water supply
is Yamuna canal. Subsoil water is brackish and unfit for drinking purpose.
The total supply hour is 8 hours i.e. 6 am to 8 am in the morning, 4 pm to 6 pm in the
evening.
Presently NCR has given 10.97 crore to improve the water supply network of Jhajjar
town and to achieve the 135 lpcd target. The balance 3.8 crores is also there with public
health to augment the present water supply network. The ongoing scheme still have 2
years for its completion.
7.2.2 Coverage
The existing water generation capacity is 4.5 mld, As per PHEDs claim 74% of the total
population and 74% of the Municipal area is covered under potable water supply scheme.
At present 110 lpcd water is supplied to the town. 52 kilometer of distribution line is
spread over 80% of the town area.
35

There are two water works and treatment plants in Jhajjar town. Presently there are 6803
households in the town out of which 5052 are with water connections which means nearly
75% of the total number of households. This implies that the coverage is not exactly 80%,
and there are a number of households which have to depend on community drinking
facilities like stand posts and hand pumps.
(Refer table 7.1).

7.3 Demand Supply Gap and Future Requirement

As Jhajjar is an NCR town, NCR standards shall be followed which has recommended
135lpcd water supply for towns having population below 1 lakh. Considering this as the
standard, the water demand for projected population has been calculated. For the
projected population of 100000 for year 2021, the water demand comes to 13.5 MLD.
Even for meeting the current demand to cover entire population of 39004, 5.27 MLD
water is required at the standard rate of 135 lpcd. While present supply of 4.5 MLD has to
be covered. So, in the town there is a present gap of 0.77 MLD. However to meet the
demand for the projected population, additional 8.23 MLD water will be required. Thus,
the net water supply required in Jhajjar town in 2021 will be 9 MLD (8.23+0.77 MLD).

About 25 % area of the town is yet to be covered by water supply network. There is
scarcity of potable ground water as the ground water is brackish. The canal based quality
of water is deteriorating due to over exploitation and contamination.
There always remains a clear gap between the revenue collected and the operation and
maintenance cost. This gap generally remains due to following reasons:
About 15% of total water supply is waste due to thefts and leakage.
36

25% of existing area not covered by water supply system.
Absence of proper mechanism of billing and a flat rate is charged which is leading
to wastage of water.
The existing income sources of the municipality are not enough to meet the growing
demand of water in the town. Tax revenues are providing resources to meet these needs
for the time beingbut to meet the demand for the projected population of 2021 even and
official grant assistance has not been able to fulfill gap between supply and demand.

7.5.1
Vision
The vision is to enhance the coverage and access to piped water supply in Municipal
area to 100% and 24 hours a day to create a system for continuous quality water in an
equitable, efficient and sustainable manner.

System Pattern
For general convenience of distribution, a grid pattern where the different mains are
interconnected keeping dead ends to a mini mum is recommended. The system facilitates
any one point being fed at least from two different directions. For small water supplies,
the tree system with smaller mains branching off from a single trunk main may be
adequate.
Zoning
Zoning in the distribution system ensures the equalization of the supply of water
throughout the area. The zoning depends upon (a) density of population (b) type of
locality (c) topography and (d) facility for isolating for assessment of waste and leak
detection. If there is an average elevation difference of 15 to 25m between zones, then
each zone should be served by a separate system. The neighbouring zones may be inturn
connected to provide emergency supplies. The valves between the zones, however, should
normally be kept closed and not partially opened. The layout should be such that the
difference in pressure between different of the same zone or same system does not exceed
3 to 5m.In case of Jhajjar town, the general topography of the town is fairly flat and has
gentle slope towards south west.
Location of Service Reservoirs
The location of service reservoirs is of importance for regulation of pressures in the
distribution system as well as for coping up with fluctuating demands. In a distribution
system fed by a single reservoir, ideal location is a central place in the distribution system
which affects a maximum economy on pipe sizes. If topography permits, ground level
reservoirs may be located taking full advantage of differences in elevation. it may be
desirable to have tail end reservoirs for the more distant districts. These tail end reservoirs
may be fed by direct supply during lean hours or booster facilities may be provided.
General Design Guide Lines
Unit Consumption
Based on the CPHEEO Guidelines, the unit consumption most appropriate for the project
area appear to be as follows :
i)
Domestic
135 lpcd
ii)
Non-Domestic
20 % of domestic supply
39

iii)
Fire Demand
-No additional unit consumption will be provided.
Unaccounted for Water

i)
Distribution of water - 15 % of average daily theoretical demand.
ii)
Transmission of water - 5 % distribution water demand.
Ground Storage reservoir
CPHEEO guidelines suggest storage provision for 24 hours water requirement of the
command area at the reservoir site. Commensurate with this norm and as the reservoir is
being fed by a number of tube wells; one day storage capacity is suggested. This will
ensure uninterrupted supply during the repair of tube well/rising main/ pumping
machinery. As indicated earlier, storage volume as worked out by projected water demand
of the command area in 2021 will be suggested with provision for future augmentation.
The town and its surrounding areas will be divided into several water supply zones
depending upon existing natural barriers, population. Proximity of supplying GSR,
natural ground elevation, distance to be covered to supply furthest consumers, etc. Each
water supply zone will be demarcated with the existing GSR located preferably at a
central, elevated position depending on the existing situation. This reservoir will act as
service reservoir, which will distribute water to the consumers by gravity through well-nit
distribution network. New GSRz will be proposed to be located strategically in the
proximity of its command area.
The reservoir will be of Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) construction having more
than one compartment (as suitable) to facilitate future maintenance. The tank shall have
retaining wall around periphery and RCC base slab and roof slab. It will be provided with
proper roof protection works and necessary inlet, outlet, overflow and washout piping
arrangement. The tank shall be designed for un-cracked section with Grade 40 concrete as
per Indian Standards. The reservoir premises will be provided with necessary utility
services, disinfections arrangement, guard house and boundary wall.
Boosting
For distant localities, booster may be provided instead of increasing the size of mains or
height of the reservoir unduly for maintaining the required pressure.
Location of Mains
For roads wider than 25 meters, the distribution pipes should be provided on both sides of
the road, by running rider mains suitably linked with trunk mains.
40

Hydraulic Network Analysis
Irrespective of the methods used, the hydraulic analysis of pipe network is based on
fundamental laws, viz., Q = 0 at a junction, H a o around a loop or a circuit and h = k Q
which is the exponential friction flow equation relating the head loss to the flow in pipe.
Hydraulic Design of Pipelines
Two universally accepted formulae for hydraulic design of flow through a circular
conduit are Hazen-Williams formula and Darcy-Weisbach formula. Hazen Williams
Formula is an empirical formula. Hazen-Williams coefficient C defines the pipe
roughness characteristics. C values for various commercially available pipes in the area
have been provided in CPHEEO Guidelines.
Darcy- Weisbach formula is a dimensionally consistent formula. Here the friction factor
f defines the roughness characteristics. A number of implicit relationship are available
to determine f out of which Colebrook-White equation is widely used which yields
sufficiently accurate results.
Consultants propose to use DarcyWeisbach formula for hydraulic design of water supply
distribution network. The formula is:
Hf
f(L/D) (V2/2g)
Hf
Frictional loss in metres of water
Friction factor (dimension less)
Length of pipeline in m
Internal diameter of pipe in m
Mean velocity of flow in m/s
Acceleration due to gravity in m/s2
Where:
The values of equivalent wall roughness coefficient (e) adopted in all hydraulic
calculation are as below:
Ductile Iron pipe
0.10 mm
HDPE pipe
0.05 mm
41

Transmission Main
The transmission main from boosting station to service will be sized to cater for the
ultimate stage flow as per the projected water demand. Material of the transmission line
will be Casts Iron of Class LA.
Valves, fittings and equipment to be installed on transmission line will be of Cast Iron PN
25 pressure rating to keep provision for future augmentation in capacity of the pipeline
and pumping machinery, too. The pressure pipeline will be proposed to be laid inside the
service corridor of main roads. It will be provided /with necessary air, washout and
isolation valve at suitable locations for future maintenance.
Distribution Main
The design of the distribution network for the entire project area will be done based on
the values of contour lines and spot levels as available in the base maps and development
plans.
The new areas in project town and other areas to be provided with reticulated supply
system, being of urban in nature will be provided with hydrants to meet firefighting
needs. Considering the nature of development / land use and material of construction of
the buildings/ structures, the probability of occurrence of fire fighting system for the
town:
Head of 7mwc; fire tenders will collect water from these hydrants and boost to the
required pressure.
The average spacing between two fire hydrants may be kept as 120m; there are examples
where the spacing is even more; the hydrants need to be located on major roads on
distribution main so as to assure the supply of the required quantity of water.
Material and Size of Pipe Work
Pipes & fittings
For distribution network also C.I. pipes of suitable dia as per CPHEEO guidelines need to
be used.
Disinfection of water
Due to long haulage of water (whenever envisaged), the residual chlorine in treated water
may be completely/ partially lost. This is not desirable as it may allow microorganisms to
grow and will ultimately cause health hazards among the consumers. Hence, disinfection
of water should be done at selected boosting / GSR locations. However, if such provision
42

is presently available at some locations, the same need to be retained or augmented as
necessary.
An online chlorine residual analyzer need to be installed to give a specified output signal
according to the residual chlorine measured in water to one PCU (Process Control Unit),
and the PCU will in turn give a corresponding signal to the actuator unit which will
change the position of above said v-notch accordingly and will control the flow of
chlorine gas.

Strategies
Areas with very good ground water prospects especially areas along Yamuna Canal, etc.
need to be protected. Artificial recharge through rainwater harvesting and riverbeds
should be undertaken. The surplus canal water during monsoon period for recharging
depleted aquifers to be used and lastly roof-top rain-water harvesting should be made
mandatory in building bye laws especially in the over-exploited blocks.
All new development areas should have two distribution lines, one for drinking water and
other for non-drinking water/recycled treated wastewater to reuse the treated wastewater.
At least 50% of the treated wastewater should be recycled for these purposes and
emphasis should be laid towards waste minimization, which can also help in improving
the overall environment. Government may also provide liberal tax rebates for
institutions/industries adopting recycled wastewater to compensate for the cost involved
in treating wastewater for recycling.
43

7.5.2.1
Short term Strategy

All dwelling units accessible to existing water distribution lines need to be
connected urgently. Besides all illegal connections to legalized on priority.
Condition of the present water supply network need to be assessed.
Need for establishment of treatment plant for supplying water for drinking
purpose.
Water boosted from tube wells need to be chlorinated at the overhead tank or
underground reservoir, as the case may be.
Efforts should be made to reduce the water losses in transmission and distribution.
The contingency provision of 15-20% to be made to account for the losses.
The water pipelines need to be change.
Water tankers service need to be initiated to cover outer areas and those areas
where water supply scheme is not accessible.
Reliable source of water needs to be acquired for boosting up of agro based
industries in Jhajjar to serve not only this town but also the neighbouring villages
depending upon it.
7.5.2.2
Long term Strategy

Detail project Report for Integrated water supply scheme should be prepared for
the town.
Rooftop rainwater harvesting should be made mandatory in building bye-laws and
necessary amendment in the bye laws may be initiated accordingly.
Recycling of waste water for non drinking use need to be initiated and a separate
pipeline should be provided for this recycled water.
Metering coupled with improved recovery of revenue will certainly help to reduce
the revenue expenditure gap. Tariff for the recycled treated wastewater should be
fixed to encourage its non-potable use such as gardening, horticulture and other
uses.
Installations of maters at all strategic locations on the main trunk line will help in
detection and subsequently removal of theft.
Bulk Supply System
The bulk supply system can be done in new areas on neighbourhood pattern
The public health department should adopt rationalized approach for revenue generation.
Public private partnership need to be introduced for operation and maintenance of the
water supply scheme.

SEWERAGE
8.1 Introduction
Sewerage, the core element of physical infrastructure, determines the environmental
status of any settlement. Development of appropriate sewerage carriage system with
efficient treatment acts as a prerequisite for facilitating balanced and harmonized
development. Augmentation of existing systems/treatment facilities as well as adoption of
new technologies of waste treatment now being focused by every city/town, which
aspires to cover its total population under sewerage network system.
8.2 Existing Scenario

Presently 3MLD sewage is generated and discharged into drain no. 8 without any
treatment. Nearly 50% of the total area of Jhajjar and approximately 49% of the total
population is covered by a separate sewer system. 20km of sewer line is spread over 50%
of the town area. There is no sewerage treatment plant. Untreated sewage is discharged
into open drains. Areas which are devoid of sewer connections are generally having septic
tanks which are brick lined with sand and gravel at bottom for filtration downwards. The
town has both sewer and cost effective sanitation facilities. About 996 households had
cost effective sanitation facilities, while 765 had sewer connections for the disposal of
sullage and night soil. There are no households having dry latrines. Existing Coverage of
the sewerage system is shown in Table 8.1 and Map 8.1.

Presently the sewage system is partly laid and for the rest of the city already a estimate of
3.9 crores has been prepared. The amount has been sanctioned but the work still has to
47

start. the completion time of the project is three years. An STP has already been
constructed but it is still put on test.
8.3 Demand -Supply Gap and Future Requirement

It has been recommended that planning for sewage treatment should be done considered
to the 80% volume of the water consumption. Accordingly @ 108 lpcd, for the projected
population of 100000 for year 2021, the sewage produced will be to the tune of 10.8
MLD. However for present population there is a gap of 2.71 MLD in the sewage network.
Thus, to meet the demand for the projected population as well as present population
(inclusive of 25% of the sewage network that needs complete makeover), additional 9.68
MLD sewage network capacity will be required.

8.4.1
Systems Drawbacks and Lack of Coverage
i)
It is estimated that with the projected population of 100000 persons of the

town will generate 10.8 MLD of sewage.
ii)
Analysis from the sewerage sector reveals that sewerage network coverage
needs to be enhanced in the town area.
iii)
The poor and slum dwellers lack safe sanitation facilities and hence are prone
to health related diseases.
iv)
In addition to that, wastewater recycling and reuse is negligible.
v)
The expansion of sewerage network has lagged behind the growth of

population.
vi)
There are imbalances in the coverage of sewerage systems in various parts of

the towns.
vii)
Population living in marginal settlements, unauthorized colonies and urban

villages etc has been devoid of regular municipal sewerage systems.
8.4.2
Lack of Waste Minimization and Recycling/Reuse
The emphasis has not been given on waste minimization, which helps in improving the
environment as a whole. The concept of recycled wastewater for non-drinking purposes
has not promoted so far.
48

8.4.3
Non existence of Storm Water Sewerage System
Due to non existence of storm water sewerage system in Jhajjar town, whole of the
silty/muddy surface water passes through the sanitary sewers, as the sewer lines are
designed only for sanitary purpose. Due to this, during rainy season sanitary sewers
overflows & take time to discharge surface water, which creates inconvenience to the
public.
8.4.4
Blocking of Sewer Lines
Most of habitants keeps cows & buffalos etc in the residential colonies & they discharge
cow dung etc. in the sewer lines resulting into frequent blocking of sewer lines& also
creates unhygienic gasses in the sewer lines which causes accidents while cleaning the
sewer lines.
8.4.5
Increasing complaints
After the rainy season, due to entering muddy water /Garbage / polythins etc. the sewer
lines generally chokes & number of complaints regarding overflow and blockage
increases. To remove blockages, desilting is immediately requires but due to shortage of
staff. i.e. sewermans with the department extra (skilled) labour is required but as per govt.
instruction department can not engage daily wagers on muster rolls & also there is no
contractor enlisted by the cooperative Labour & construction societies through which the
labour could be arranged.

8.4.6
Vision
The vision is to create a healthy community by providing sewerage network coverage to

entire town including slum areas.

Degree of Treatment
The degree of treatment sill mostly be decided by the regulatory agencies and the extent
to which the final product so treatment are to be utilized. These regulatory bodies may be
the local body or a State Pollution Control Board. The method of treatment adopted
should not only meet the requirements of these regulatory agencies but also result in the
maximum use of end products consistent with economy.
Design Period
The treatment plant, like the sewerage system is normally designed to meet the
requirements over a 30 years period after its completion. The time lag between the design
and the completion should not ordinarily exceed 2 to 3 years and even in exceptional
circumstances 5 years.
Population Equivalent
The population equivalent is a parameter useful in the conversion of the contribution of

wastes from industrial establishments for accepting into the sanitary sewer systems by the
authorities concerned and serves as a basis for levying an equitable charge for the same.
The average daily per capita contribution of suspended solids and BOD5 are 90 gm and
45 gm respectively which is used for estimating population equivalents.
Effect Of Industrial Wastes
The industrial wastewater may be discharged into public sewers if the industrial effluents
meet the tolerance limits as prescribed by IS:3306-1974. If wastewater are to be
discharged into inland surface waters, tolerance limits set by IS:2490-1963 are to be
satisfied. For industrial effluents to be discharged on land for irrigation purposes, BIS
code IS:3307-1965 should be followed.
Effluent Disposal and Utilization
50

If sewage effluent is be discharged into inland surface waters, tolerance limits prescribed
by statutory agencies, IS 4764-1973 should be followed.
Choice of Processes
Sewage treatment processes may be generally classified as primary, secondary and

tertiary. The general yardstick of evaluating the performance of sewage treatment plants is
the degree of reduction of BOD, SS and total Coliforms. Expected efficiencies of various
treatment units are given in the next table.

Measures for achieving Goals

Coverage of low income areas through eco-toilets: To maintain hygienic
conditions in town the first step taken should be to low income groups. This can
be done by covering them by providing public Eco-toilets initially and connecting
them to the sewerage network afterwards.
Basically, the toilet is elevated above the ground, and has three separate outlets for
urine, excreta and the water used for cleaning, which are collected in separate
chambers.
53

The elevation is a great advantage in places where there is a high water table, in a
rocky terrain or in areas with water shortage.
Keeping the toilet waste above the soil also prevents soil contamination and
makes the removal of solid and liquid matter easy. The vaults built to collect the
excreta are layered with ash after every use to convert the solid waste into
compost and prevent odours
This chamber would only need to be emptied once a year or so depending on
usage. The urine is collected in barrels outside the unit and dispatched to farmers
to be used as organic manure.
When the eco-toilets was first set up in Karnataka, nobody quite expected it to be
a phenomenal success. Now, a little over a year later, the swanky clean toilet,
devoid of the smells associated with public toilets, is witness to the dedication of
its users. But there are two challenges first to motivate people to move away from
open air defecation and teach them the ecological option.
Operation and Maintenance Plan: Adoption of an O&M plan schedule, including
options of using the private sector for O&M (e.g. management contract).
Privatization of O&M of pumping stations and STPs through a service or
management contract with private sector that would be solely responsible for the
O&M of the system, based on an agreed annual fee, and with built in incentives
for improved performance.
Mapping and GIS: The O&M shall also include mapping and GIS of the sewer
system, for proper upkeep and maintain pace and regular updating of new area.
This would enable constant vigilance with regards to system malfunctions and
promote effective maintenance.
Asset Management Plan: To address the condition assessment and the
performance of the sewerage assets, it is recommended that an asset management
plan be prepared for the assets in Jhajjar town.

Strategies
Short-Term Strategy
All households accessible to the existing sewer lines must be connected and now
shall be given to legalize unauthorized connections on priority.
Community toilets to be constructed especially for slum clusters at places where
sewer connection is available.
Cleaning of sewer should be undertaken through modern suction machines. The
operation will be quick and without damage to the skin of the sewer lines.
Proper storm water sewerage system of the town should be laid
Measures may be taken to shift the cattles from town area to other place r they
should be charged licence fee for keeping cattle into separate drain system.
Municipal Committee may be advised to raise the low laying area as such surface
water may flow by gravity.
For chocked sewer lines/ desilting, special permission may be granted to engaged
the sewer helpers through muster rolls as per requirement and advance
arrangement of LOC for making payment to labour immediately on completion of
job be made.
The labour contractor may be got enlisted through the cooperative L&C Society.
So that on requirement labour could be arranged through the contractor.
For getting the unauthorized 80% sewer connections regularized, the procedure
may be simplified.
8.4.8.2
Long term Strategy

To accommodate 100% town area and 100% households projected for the year
2021. Charges can be adjusted with property tax/ house tax.
Recycled waste water should be promoted for non drinking purposes. Hotels and
others commercial units in the town should be given incentives for recycling of
waste water.
Measures should be taken to prevent the use of storm water drains for conveying
sewage and dumping of solid waste and sullage in open drains.
8.4.8.3

A private player can be involved for Eco toilets on BOT basis.
The toilet block mainly in the shopping areas / bazaars in heart of city, wherever
it does not exist, may also be constructed on PPP basis.
While deciding the location in these shopping areas/ main bazaars convenience of
public as well as aesthetics be kept in view.
56

Following incentives can be considered to attract private agencies to take
sewerage work of the town. A part of land can be given on lease to him for 25
years. This part of land can be used by him for commercial ventures.
The treatment plant can be constructed underground and the above space can be
used by the private developer for activities like amusement park, nurseries, light
weight commercial establishments etc.
The advertisement right on Toilet Block may be given to the professional agencies
on PPP basis against which the agency shall construct and maintain the said
toilet block for a period of 5-10 years on pay and use basis.
Manuring from the solid can be given to private developer for commercial use.
The above proposals can be made part of agreement separately or can be clubbed
together.
There must be a detailed Master Plan for laying/augmenting sewerage system and
its treatment for the town with the help of specialized agencies, experts and
NGOs. Haryana State Government has initiated step for the preparation of master
plans for sewerage of major towns and same should be done for Jhajjar.
Further there should be 100% percent sewerage system coverage and facilities for
the treatment of their sewage up to the desired standards before it is discharged
for irrigation, plantation, gardening etc. or into the water bodies.
Hotels, industrial units and large installation must be asked to recycle their
wastewater. Fiscal measures such as quantum based taxation for waste water
needs to be taken up which will not only reduce the cost of treatment for the
municipality but will ultimately help in improving the overall environment of the
towns.
8.6 Financial Implications

The estimated investment required to develop sewerage system in the Jhajjar town for
projected population will be :
Total Approximate length of mains to be laid = 33.45km

Cost of main line @ 1.51 crores/km
33.45km X 1.51crores
101.02 crores
Cost for MPS, IPS and rising main @0.35crores = 33.45kmX0.35 crores
= 11.70 crores
Cost of Sewerage system =
101.02 + 11.70

=
112.72 crores
(Excluding cost of distribution network)

DRAINAGE
9.1 Introduction
Drainage is an important element of physical infrastructure and constitutes removal and
disposal of surplus rainwater from the land and to some extent protect flooring the area.
Since urban expansion is inevitable, increase run-off would require remodeling of the
existing drains as well as provision of new/supplementary drains. Provision of
appropriate drainage in marginal settlements consisting of slum clusters,
informal/unauthorized colonies etc require due attention.
9.2 Existing Status

This town is partly covered with separate drainage systems. Some drainage network has
been laid along major roads in the form of open drains. Almost 80% of the water is
drained through open drainage system to Drain No.8 and the rest gets mixed with
sewerage system. This drain is not desilted at regular intervals so its holding capacity is
reducing day by day. The present capacity of the drain is 100 cusecs and is designed to
carry storm water only. But, at present sewerage is also flown into this drain (Refer Map
9.1)
9.3
Photo 9.1 Open Surface Drainage Network
Issues and Concerns
The primary drains are inadequate to handle the flash

floods as they are not systematically designed and are
not fully constructed in most of the sections. The entire
town area needs to be covered with drainage system.
Utmost care needs to be taken in flood prone and lowlying areas. Encroachment by slum dwellers and
dumping of solid waste in the drains cause blockage.

9.4.2 Strategies
The town drainage system need to be designed for maximum rainfall of five year
frequency storm for internal as well as peripheral drains and ten years frequency storm for
the main drains. Usually the system is designed for a maximum rainfall of one-hour
duration. The co-efficient of run-off need to be calculated for areas with composite land
use pattern on the basis of anticipated land use in the new areas and existing land use
pattern for the areas already developed. For Jhajjar town, the run-off coefficient should
not be less than 0.6.
Water logging areas are low lying areas in the city and agricultural fields are to be
immediately relieved of the problem by undertaking a drainage rehabilitation program.
The construction of new drains and connecting links would be taken up as a priority,
along with strengthening of the existing drains with lining and sidewalls. In addition,
60

control of weed growth, limiting the dumping of solid and construction waste and
controlling the growth of encroachments would be given top priority.
Integrated regional drainage plan at the district level should be prepared after critically
examining each drainage system under basin/ sub basin incorporating the improvement
proposals for enhancing the quality of regional and local drains taking into account the
present/ future development and settlement pattern in the region. The ponds/ lakes/
wetlands (existing and prepared) bunds/ check dams etc. should be developed/ protected
to increase the runoff time of storm water in order to help in ground water recharging.

9.4.3 Public Private Partnership

Jhajjar town has a skeleton of surface drainage system. There improper disposal of rain
water gives rise to unhygienic conditions. So, to provide proper and functional drainage
network, municipal committee can explore possibilities to involve private sector under
Public Private Participation (PPP) on BOT pattern. The project can be made bankable for
PPP by combining it with construction and maintenance of roads
Rehabilitation, Improvement, construction and rejuvenation needed to be taken at the
earliest while operation and maintenance is the process that must operate on parallel till
the end of time frame (refer table 9.3).

Total road length in Jhajjar (Existing) 66.90km, based on this the total length of
drains is 134km. Cost for Up gradation of 134km (@ of 5 lakh per km) is 6.7 crores.
61

Proposed road length of master plan roads is 36km, hence total length of drains
comes out to be 72 km. Cost of construction of new drains (@ 0.10 crore per km)
is 7.2 crores. This includes drains along the master plan roads only and not the
other roads.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
10.1 Introduction
Solid waste management, an obligatory function of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) is poorly
performed resulting in problems of health, sanitation and environmental degradation in
most of the towns. Unless concerted efforts are made to improve the flow of resources to
solid waste management and build up systems that incorporate the basic requirements of a
proper waste management practice, the problem will keep aggravating.
10.2 Existing Status

10.2.1 Sources & Quantity
About 14.1MT of solid waste is generated every day within the administrative jurisdiction
of Jhajjar Municipal Committee. The estimation of per capita generation of solid waste
calculated at the rate of 355 grams per day on an average for the local inhabitants and for
the floating population at the rate of 260 grams per capita per day.
In Jhajjar, the major sources of generation of waste at Municipal level are local residents,
Bazaar and Vegetable markets, shops and establishments, hospitals and dispensaries,
Industrial wastes and construction and demolition waste.
The major source of waste generation in the town are households generating are about
57%, followed by shops and commercial establishments generating 25.98 % of the total
wastes in the city respectively. At present there is no industrial waste added to the
municipal waste, as the industries are located outside the administrative jurisdiction of the
local body. At a later stage this will be part of total waste when the proposed development
plan gets implemented. (Refer Table 10.1 and Figure 10.1)

10.2.2 Composition of Solid Waste

It was found that the waste produced from households, shops and commercial
establishments are composed of food and other discarded waste materials such as paper,
plastic, glass, metal, rags, packaging materials. Households, shops and commercial
establishments in Jhajjar do not practice segregation of recyclable waste at source,
evading possibility of reduction in quantity of waste generation at source. Such waste on
streets or in the bins of the Jhajjar MC goes to disposal sites un-segregated. In the absence
of practice of segregation of waste at source, rag pickers pick up part of this waste in
soiled condition.
Currently, there is no system of door to door collection of waste. The construction/
demolition waste are also generated in the town to a substantial extent mainly by repair,
maintenance and reconstruction activities.
10.2.3 Storage of Solid Waste at Generation Point
The scientific and systematic storage of waste at
source is not in practice and in the absence of the
desirable system of storage of waste at source; the
waste is thrown on the streets, treating streets as
receptacle of waste. No segregation of nonbiodegradable/ recyclable waste is done either at the
source or at the streets/ roads. This hampers the
composting process, when dumped along with Photo 10.1 Solid Waste lying along
biodegradable waste, besides causing loss of Road
revenue due to the deprivation of salvage value of
the recyclable wastes
64

10.2.4 Collection of Solid Waste
In Jhajjar the systematic collection of waste is non
existent, as the system of storage of waste at source is
not in practice and yet to be developed. The primary
collection of waste is effected through depositing of
wastes by waste producers and by the sweepers
appointed by Jhajjar MC into the community waste
bins.
Photo 10.2 Solid Waste Collection Points
There are few temporary storage points at the
town level for storage of the collected waste, of which some are dumper placer bins each
with a capacity of about 0.4 MT. The positioning of these bins isnt specific and the
dumper placer bins are repositioned frequently.
10.2.5 Street Cleaning
The process of street sweeping of waste is still in primitive nature in the city. The Sanitary
workers sweep the streets using brooms to make small heaps of solid waste. These heaps
of solid waste are then taken to the nearest temporary waste storage point. Apart from
these, there are many undesignated open yards across the town where sanitary workers
collect/ sweep the solid waste during the early hours of morning/ afternoon and make a
heap for subsequent transportation. All roads and streets are not cleaned on daily basis. In
practice some important roads and markets are swept on alternate days or twice a week,
some are swept occasionally or not at all.
Total road length to be swept by sweepers includes municipal road of 66 km and other
roads of 36 km maintained by PWD B&R. few sanitary workers have been assigned the
job of cleaning the drain. Street sweeping is done in two shifts per day.
10.2.6 Transportation of Waste
Jhajjar Municipal Committee has adopted open
transport system for transporting the wastes from the
open heaped points and temporary storage points to the
disposal site. Wastes are collected from various open
collection points and temporary storage points which
are loaded to the transport vehicle manually. Manual
loading was found to be time consuming and reducing
the productivity of the vehicles and manpower
Photo 10.3 Transportation of Solid Waste
deployed for the purpose. The waste is generally
seen lying in heaps or scattered at the open storage points or around the dustbins giving
unsightly appearance besides causing nuisance and unhygienic conditions.
65

10.2.7 Disposal of Waste
Jhajjar Municipal Committee has one designated garbage dumping site, which is located
inside the Municipal limits.
Photo 10.4 Solid Waste Dumping Site
10.2.8 Treatment of Solid Waste

The main objectives of the treatment and disposal are to clear the waste from the disposal
site in an environmentally friendly manner with little/no serious implication on the health
and hygiene of the micro and macro environment. It is the responsibility of the local body
to ensure safe disposal of the wastes generated within jurisdiction. Jhajjar Municipal
Committee had adopted only dumping as method of disposal of the waste as on today.
Currently the wastes are not treated in a systematic and scientific manner while disposing.
No treatment methods are adopted for disposing the wastes. The wastes are just dumped
without segregation of biodegradable and non biodegradable wastes. In case of biomedical waste, the wastes are set fire as mode of disposal at the civil hospital but the
private nursing homes disposes it into the temporary storage points.
10.3 Future Generation Trends

The projected generation of waste has been calculated according to the norms/standards
prescribed in the manual on municipal solid waste management of Ministry of Urban
Development and Poverty Alleviation as given in table 10.2.
Table10.2 Standards for Solid Waste Generation in Towns/Cities
Population range
Average
per
value(grams/capita/day)
Less than one Lakh
210
One Lakh to five Lakh
210
capita
Source: Manual on Solid Waste Management, MoUD & PA
In Jhajjar, the municipal area with projected population of 1.0 lakhs is estimated to
generate around 21 MT of solid waste per day at 210 gm / cap / day, by the year 2021.
Such a high volume of waste generation demands a strategic approach for disposal in
66

addition of the need for initiating steps to reduce, recover, reuse and recycling strategies
in Jhajjar.

It is observed that storage and segregation at source is generally absent in Jhajjar. Waste
generated from the major markets in the town lack adequate storage facilities.
The wastes are not treated in a systematic and scientific manner while disposing. The
habit of dumping of waste in streets and on open and vacant plots may cause not only
health hazard and fire but also a potential breeding ground for vectors and diseases. It
may also contaminate ground water.
Most serious hazard posing as of today is the non segregation of hospital waste into the
solid waste before disposing it off. In brief following deficits are noted in the town:
1. Poor collection system specially in the narrow lanes
2. Lack of coverage.
3. Mixed variety of organic and inorganic solid waste.
4. Unsanitary conditions in and around community bins.
5. Handling of specialized wastes.
6. Shortage of transport vehicles.
7. Shortcoming of landfill sites.
8. Organisational inadequacies.
9. Shortage of equipment and committed supervision staff.
10. Financial stringency.

10.5.1 Vision
The vision for Jhajjar is to provide to its citizens an environmentally friendly and
sustainable waste management system with complete safe disposal facilities by putting
in place waste reduction and recovery mechanisms.

10.5.2 Strategies
10.5.2.1
Short term Strategies
The electronic media (radio & TV) and print media (local newspapers, pamphlets
etc) for propagating and creating public awareness and participation of target
groups while conceiving and implementing the action plan.
Sanitary landfill sites need to be developed as per norms and standards provided
in the Manual for Municipal Solid Waste Management. This also provides
direction for handling of medical and hazardous wastes. This project can be
undertaken by a private entrepreneur and the land may be provided on lease.
The success of any solid waste management scheme can be measured through the
extent of co-operation of people, effectiveness of the proposed system and
operational efficiency. While the effectiveness of the system and operational
efficiency can be improved through HRD and capacity building, the co-operation
of people can be achieved through information, Education and communication
(IEC) techniques. During such campaign, strategies for waste reduction, reuse and
recycling (R-R-R) may also be propagated for deriving long term benefits. The
target group for that awareness programme will be the first the School children
and teachers through promoting schools as models of clean living and healthy
environments and training school teachers and students as motivators and informal
change agents for involving families and communities in segregation of waste at
source and strategies for waste reduction, reuse and recycling. Then community
leaders holding of locality wise meeting and group discussion with local people.
Local NGOs, Elite groups and religious leaders etc.
Waste collection bins, separately for segregation of wastes into biodegradable and
non-biodegradable needs to be placed at various collection sites.
Vermiculture: .
Vermiculture may be adopted for biodegradable waste. It will help to make the
system self sustaining.
Institutional capacity building measures are required to be taken in order to

improve the efficiency and effectiveness of solid waste management at each stage
such as waste collection, transfer/ transportation, treatment and disposal. There is
a need to associate NGOs/ Private sector also in this regard. The combination of
private sector and public sector in proportionate ratio will be right option.
10.5.2.2
Long term Strategies
Solid Waste Management Plan need to be prepared and implemented.
Public awareness needs to be created through mass media, school education

curriculum and through resident welfare association etc.
72
Safe and separate storage as well as door step collection of bio medical waste,
hotel and industrial yard waste etc on full cost recovery basis.
Building byelaws need to be notified to ensure provision of refuge collection.
10.5.2.3
Public Private Partnership:
Private organizations need to be involved for collection, segregation, storage and
disposal and they may be permitted to use waste material for recycling or
otherwise for commercial purposes.
Dustbin should be located at suitable place in the residential areas/ manholes
/bazaars keeping in view the public convenience. While deciding the location it
may be ensured that the dustbin is not placed in front of a residential plot/ shop.
The design of the dustbin/ garbage bins should be such that the garbage does not
spillover the bins and an unhygienic condition is not created around the same. The
advertisement right on dustbins / garbage bin may be given to the professional
agencies on PPP basis against which the agency shall provide and maintain the
said dustbins/ garbage bins for a minimum period of three years.

Assuming investment at the rate of Rs 5 Lakhs per Metric Tonnes total financial
requirement for Jhajjar town will be Rs. 1.05 Crores.

ELECTRICITY
11.1 Introduction
Electricity is an important aspect of the physical
infrastructure that requires planning, development and
management for improved quality, productivity and
economic activities. It has become one of the life line of
modern day life. Town becomes handicap without proper
and uninterrupted supply of electricity.
Photo 11.1 Power House

11.1.1 Electricity Consumption
There is an existing 132 KV electric substation on Gurgaon road which can serve up to 1 lakh
population. Another 33KV electric substation is there near the town with 6 mega volts load
being upgraded into 12.6 mega volts to meet the deficit demand by adjusting it within the
existing substation. Daily peak hour demand is 1 lakh unit per day. The segregation of this
consumption is as shown in table 11.1. The electricity supply in the town at an average is 1718 hours per day with an average daily cut of 6-7 hours.

11.1.3 Tariff Structure

Domestic connections are charged at the rate of Rs. 2.63 per unit for the first 40 units an
addition of RS. 0.10 per unit as electric duty and Rs. 0.05 per unit as municipal tax. From 40
units to 300 units is charged @ Rs. 3.63 per unit in an addition of Rs. 0.10 per unit as electric
duty and Rs. 0.05 per unit as municipal tax. For above 300 units, charges are Rs. 4.28 per
unit with same electricity duty and municipal tax. Commercial Connections are charged at
Rs. 4.19 per unit in addition to similar electricity duty and municipal tax. Industrial
consumptions are charged at Rs. 4.28 per unit in light industries. For large industries, the
tariff varies on with the use of different load lines like Rs. 4.09 for 11KV, Rs. 3.97 for 33KV,
Rs. 3.85 for 66/132KV and Rs 3.77 for 220KV excluding Municipal Committee tax of Rs.
0.05 per unit.

For the projected population of 7.00 lakh in the year 2021, the projected peak load is 329.40
MW. Non-conventional source for energy generation has not been explored. The only source
of power supply is from northern grid. The status of power supply in Jhajjar has not kept
pace with the increasing population and the growth of economic activities.
Street light are important part of infrastructure of any city. The streets of any city should be
well lit to provide proper safety and security to the residents as well as to the travelers to the
city. None of street lights or high mast lights are installed properly in the city.
75

11.4.1 Vision
The vision for Jhajjar is to provide continuous supply of power using conventional as well
non-conventional sources and create an efficient management system for recovery of
investment.

11.4.2 Strategies
In order to meet the additional demand, there is need to have new power plants in the subregion. Site has been identified for 3X500 MW power plant at Jhajjar district and at Jhajjar.
Modern techniques for load management must be adopted to flatten the load curve and
76

reduce the peak demand in the system to a manageable proportion. In addition, emphasis
should be given for promoting non-conventional energy resources such as solar energy plants
to meet a part of the power demand for uses like street light. With the help of modern
techniques, power should be generated from solid waste on the public-private partnership
basis.
11.4.3 Public Private Partnership:
Private participation may be involved in distribution, operation and maintenance and
collection of charges on NCT Delhi pattern.

TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT
12.1 Introduction
Transport infrastructure forms the backbone of any
economy and plays an important role in the development
of a town/city. The objectives of studying transport sector
are to understand and analyze the present scenario of the
city and to understand existing potentials and scope of
development.

12.2.1
Linkage to Jhajjar Town
Jhajjar town is located on the national Highway no. 71 and is very well linked with
surrounding region through a network of state highways and district roads. This town is not
linked with the railway network.

The total length of all kinds of roads in Jhajjar town is 66.90 kilometer. 29.60% of the total
road length falls under bituminous category and 28.70 % the concrete category. The total
length of brick paved road length of 7.47 km while Kutcha roads amount to 34.23 Km, as
shown in Table 12.1 and Figure 12.1

The National Highway 71 has many commercial

activities concentrated along both sides .
In old town area, the street pattern is gridiron and
does not follow any fixed pattern. Lack of adequate
parking space in the commercial areas and bus stand
leads to the roadside parking of vehicles in the bazaar
and other commercial areas causing traffic problems
and degradation of the environment.
Photo12.2 Congestion on road
Streets are narrow and do not facilitate any alternate

route for circulation. The inner areas have very less
Road width and cattles moving on the road frequently.
Therefore people have to face the problem of vehicle
movement. Lack of adequate parking space in the
commercial areas, Bus Stand and Railway station
leads to the encroachment of road for parking of
vehicles & congestion, bottleneck and delays in travel
time.
Photo 12.3 Internal Roads
For rapid growth of Jhajjar town, transportation issues have assumed critical importance.
Since the proportionate growth of road length in the Jhajjar area has been almost static,
traffic congestion has increased leading to endless transportation gridlocks. (Refer Map 12.1)
79
Photo 12.4 Bad Condition of Roads
12.2.3 Traffic Management in Jhajjar

The encroachment by the informal sector on the
road side creates a major transportation issue. This
increase traffic congestion in the area.
Growth in the surrounding areas and the
concentration of substantial economic activity in the
town has resulted in heavy flows being pumped into
the core, which has limited road capacity leading to
Photo 12.5 Katcha Road, Jhajjar
traffic bottlenecks. Substantial external-to-external
flows across the core area are also generated due to its strategic location; these flows are
being funneled through existing travel corridors of town area, thus accentuating the
congestion and accident problem.
Photo 12.6 Encroachment by the informal sector
12.3
Issues and Concerns

Major issues concerning traffic related problems in the town are:
Congestion in high volume corridors in the core area
Non-standard configurations of intersections leading to increased conflicts.
No parking spaces.
80

Increasing volumes of highly flexible two wheeled scooters and motorcycles.
Water logging problem in Bus stand workshop area .
Problem at Railway crossing because it is situated in middle of the town. That creates
traffic and congestion problem.
12.4 Policies and Plans

12.4.1 Vision
The vision for Jhajjar town is to create efficient and affordable transportation network
and to improve the traffic management for easy movement in the town area.

For achieving the 100% development there is some goal and their service outcome which
shows the year wise development of Traffic Management ending by 2021. Up to 2021 all
goal should be achieved for the whole town development.(refer table 12.2)
12.4.2 Strategies
The major problem in transportation network is the encroachment on right of way on major
road that is on railway station road, which has effectively reduced the carriageway and
subsequently its capacity. In Jhajjar there is very big Mandi. Due to this Mandi it has heavy
traffic flow of tractors and loading unloading also takes place. Narrow roads and sharp turns
make the situation worse. Roads are not properly equipped with signage, road marking, street
names and street furniture, further the situation is aggravated in slum areas where roads are
not paved, lanes are narrow with potholes and without street light.
The strategies are towards to ensure quality of transport network and its compatibility with
land uses. To provide reliable and efficient transport network by 2021 and improving the road
conditions to withstand the traffic to be generated by that time short-term as well as long
term measures need to be taken.
81

Bicycle and Rickshaws
Generally, traffic and transport improvement plans in Indian cities have not included
improvement for bicycle and rickshaw infrastructure. Often traffic improvement plans have
lead to road widening, traffic signalization, however needs for creating bicycle friendly
infrastructure has been ignored. In Jhajjar town bicycle and cycle rickshaw have to be
promoted because they provide environment friendly and affordable mobility to large section
of society. Cycle rickshaw plays an important role for goods transport in the core of the town
and is a means of livelihood for unskilled labor.
The major roads and peripheral roads of the town can be planned on gridiron pattern.
The Strategy and time frame of development work is divided into different years work
growth rate for Traffic and transportation Management. This shows that the work will
completed by 2013 in various stages. Table 12.3 shows the Strategy and time frame for work
completion.

Short term measures
Short-term measures include intersection improvement, signalization etc., to be taken up

regularly. These measures should be taken up on a continuous basis as the travel
characteristics and loading of different links, intersections etc., and adjusted to natural growth
and changes in land use.
Land-use interventions:
Encourage Transit Oriented Development with high density areas at or close to

public transport stations
Allow land use changes from time to time, (including for public/government uses) to
enable efficiency in urban structure through market forces.
Discourage sprawl through introduction of vacant land tax and levy of Transport
Impact Fee on developments in the periphery.
Encroachment on all roads needs to be removed for better flow of traffic especially at
internal roads.
Parking lots should be provided on the strategic location in commercial areas as well
as places around the temples to avoid nuisance caused by the unorganized parking
and helping in easy flow of traffic.
Street lights, signage and road markings to be introduced on all roads and
intersections.
Town roads inside the core area should be widened as far as possible to avoid
encroachment and misuse at later stage.
All the roads/lanes in slum clusters are to be paved with proper drainage system in
these areas.
An urban transport development fund at the state level to convert plans into actions
would greatly benefit the small and medium towns. The Fund to be financed in part
by development charges/betterment levy and possible cess or part of petrol cess
collected currently in the country. The Funds mandate would include policy support,
project development including in PSP formats and implementation support.
The cross-sections of the roads should be planned with pedestrian footpath, service
roads, cycle tracks, mix traffic lanes, bus lanes, and a wide median (for future
expansion, right turning lanes, etc.) based on the hierarchy of the road and R/W. All
roads in urban areas should be either paved or green covered.
83

Road levels should be permanently fixed, so that re-carpeting does not change the
road levels from time to time affecting the drainage and other parameters. The road
intersections should be properly designed as per various IRC guidelines by providing
channelizers, signals, underpass, and grade separated interchanges, signals
coordination synchronization, Automatic Traffic Control systems, etc
Roads and Traffic Management
Design Criteria. Strategy shall focus to have 100% coverage of surfaced roads
including up-gradation of roads.
It is proposed to improve the condition of existing roads through up gradation,
widening and strengthening.
Asset Rehabilitation. Up gradation shall be undertaken to extend, refurbish and
enhance the roads. Plans would be phased so as to optimize cost and surface
condition and shall include upgrading earthen roads to Bituminous Topped roads.
This phased up-gradation would considerably reduce the costs on new formations.
Widening and Strengthening of road Structure. With due consideration to the
growing traffic intensity it has been proposed to upgrade all the major roads with
specific focus on the State and National Highways and some major roads. It is
proposed to widen and strengthen, existing network along the ULB periphery and
develop it is a Internal Ring Road. It is proposed to develop the roads as two lane
divided carriage way facility, with flyovers and ROBs at major junctions and railway
crossing respectively.
Parking. Parking spaces must be provided at appropriate locations, on-street/off
street, with proper management, and use of ITS. Appropriate parking fees should be
levied to manage the demand and reflect the cost of the urban land used up for the
purpose.
Traffic Management Plan. These shall focus of junction improvements, traffic
management within core areas of the town, regional level proposals, parking and
pedestrian facilities. It has been observed that, in most of the major roads in the town
pedestrians are forced to use the carriageway due to the absence or poorly maintained
footpaths. Footpaths of 1.5m wide are proposed along the major roads where heavy
pedestrian movements are observed. For traffic safety and convenience, appropriate
signs, marking lighting, guideposts are required to be provided on curves,
intersections, public utility places, etc. Proposals for road furniture are made
84

considering the importance of the road, safety and aesthetic. The design of the road
furniture and quality proposed are of international standards. It is proposed to provide
the following road furniture for the roadway:
Kilometer stones on the major roads
200 m furlong stones
Road painting using reflectorized thermoplastic road painting
High intensity grade informatory, regulatory and cautionary sign boards
Street lights on all major roads within the municipal limits, which have been
considered for improvement.
High mast lighting at all major junctions
Stop signs
Place identification signs
12.4.2.2
Long term measures
Master plan for transport network of Jhajjar town should be prepared to dovetail land
uses with transport network.
Institutional integration must be set in motion merging responsibilities for transport
management and land development at the town level.
Reliable and unified vehicle registration database for future demand management
needs to be initiated.
The physical, institutional and socio-economic environment, in which bicycle and
cycle-rickshaws are operating, needs to be documented and understood. This can help
in creating policies, design guidelines and infrastructure, where bicycle and cycle
rickshaw can co-exist with rapid motorization and continue to provide environment
friendly mobility option to Jhajjar residents.
There is a need of a state level transport regulator with branches at city level in the
public transport domain. The transport regulator can ensure fair prices to transport
operator while maintaining quality of services. The presence of a regulator will also
encourage the private corporate sector to invest in this area. This is important, as
small individual operators do not have the required technical, financial or managerial
competence. Large towns region can have more then one private sector company to
run bus services, and this will result in more competition and better services. It will
also free up resources for the government.
As economic activities especially Mandi activities in cities expand and city
population grows, a substantial amount of freight traffic would be generated. The
timely and smooth movement of such freight is crucial to the well being of the people
and the viability of the economic activities they undertake. However, with limited
85

capacity of the transport system, it is essential that freight traffic and passenger traffic
are so staggered as to make optimum use of the transport infrastructure, it is a time
honored and tested practice to use off-peak passenger travel times to move freight.
Many cities have earmarked late night ours for the movement of freight and restricted
the entry of heavy vehicles into cities during day time. Further, several cities have bypasses that enable through traffic to go around the city and not add to city traffic.
These practices are sound and would be encouraged in this town also. Similarly,
facilities for the parking of freight vehicles out side city limits, such as truck
terminals, would also be encouraged through public-private partnerships. Proposals
for such facilities would be considered under the National Renewal Mission.
Comprehensive planning of the storm water drain network is extremely important to
ensure road quality. Timely planning is essential to keep the drains in working
condition. There should also be a mandatory plan for drainage during the construction
activities to ensure the flow storm water. A mechanism (say by out-sourcing) should
be developed by local urban bodies to monitor & maintain the drainage system. Rain
water harvesting should be adopted to prevent flooding. Use of porous concrete for
footpaths/shoulders/etc. should be considered for maximum charge of ground water
and minimum surface run off. De-silting of storm water drains (development of desilting ponds) should be taken up to avoid flooding and also to clean water before
discharge.
An urban transport development fund at the state level to convert plans into actions
would greatly benefit the small and medium towns. The Fund to be financed in part
by development charges/betterment levy and possible cess or part of petrol cess
collected currently in the country. The Funds mandate would include policy support,
project development including in PSP formats and implementation support.
12.4.2.3
1. Indication / direction boards may be provided at suitable locations on main roads to

indicate the residential areas or important places in the town. The residential areas
indication boards may have overhead signage boards that are erected across the road
or small hoarding may be erected on the beams at entry to the residential areas.
2. The overhead signage on the highways and major roads may be erected as per the
Indian Road Congress/ International standards. Residential area indication boards/
direction boards, indication boards for parks, [public buildings and offices may be got
designed through an expert agency.
3. The advertisement right at the bottom of the Indication / direction boards may be
given to the professional agencies on PPP basis against which the agency shall
provide and maintain the said Indication / direction boards for a minimum period of
three years.
86

Outer ring road/ bypass along with its drainage system can be through Public private
partnership on BOT mode. The project can be made bankable and following incentives
may be considered:
1. Collection of Toll tax
2. Allowing development/ management of parking areas in the town.
3. Given right to develop commercial/ residential areas in the town and Provision of
infrastructure like power, water etc at discounted rates to these areas.
4. Tax holidays.
It is suggested that all above facilities can be provided with the help of Private sector
under the model of Built Operate Transfer (BOT). Development of drains and roads can
be clubbed together.
Guard Railings, Rotaries and Tree Guards:
1. The Guard Railings and Tree Guards may be provided and maintained on PPP basis
by giving advertisement right to the professional private agency after calling
Expression of Interest.
2. The rotaries on the roads crossings are proposed to be developed and maintained on
PPP basis by giving advertisement right to the professional private agencies as per
norms of Indian Road Congress. The design of these rotaries are required to be
prepared at DPR stage
3. There is tremendous increase in traffic. Although there is a bypass still many vehicles
crisscross the city creating congestion. So, there is a need to redesign and remodel all
rotaries in the town. These rotaries can be redesigned on BOO basis where the private
entrepreneurs can Built operate and own these rotaries.
Foot over bridges/ escalators:
1. The design of Foot over bridges/ escalators must be site specific and Expression of
Interest may be invited for the particular site on PPP basis with the following
modalities.
2. The site selection and choice of design shall be made by a committee consisting of
Senior Town Planner/ District Town Planner, Executive Officer/ Secretary, M.Cs
under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner, Jhajjar.
3. A standard tender document and draft agreement to be entered with the agency for the
leasing the utilities shall be supplied by Director, Urban Local Bodies, Haryana.
4. The concerned Executive Officer/ Secretary may call the tenders giving wide
publicity through the press and other media.
87

5. The committee consisting of District Town Planner/ Executive Officer/executive
concerned headed by the concerned Deputy Commissioner shall approve the
allotment to the highest bidder.
6. The concerned Executive Officer/ Secretary shall enter into the agreement with the
agency for leasing the advertisement right for utilities to be created.
12.4.3 Freight Expressway
In Jhajjar it is proposed that a comprehensive road network for freight expressway
connecting all district headquarters, Mandi Towns and Industrial Towns shall be undertaken
to boost the economy of the town and its surrounding regions by giving efficient and reliable
road connectivity to market its product in the country and abroad.

The cost of short-term or immediate measures, which take care of the improvement/up
gradation of the existing 66.90 km of road length, as discussed in the report, works out to
be Rs 16.73 Crores (@ Rs. 25 lakhs per km). The cost of construction/ improvement/up
gradation of 36 km master plan roads will be 16.20 crores (@ Rs. 45 lakhs per km).This is
excluding the cost of proposed over bridges and bypass and also freight expressway. It
could be calculated when the detail plan will be prepare. Initially we can assume Rs 25
crores for this project. The net cost required to meet all finances will be Rs. 57.93 crores.
Detail study of traffic volume, delay and accidents should be conducted and accordingly
the proposals should be modified to examine the exact finances required.
Total Cost of the Project :

Rs. 57.93 Crores
SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
13.1 Introduction
Social infrastructure has been recognized as a growth-stimulating and sustaining route in
planning. The effectiveness of social infrastructure in achieving the objective of city
development plan would depend upon its capacity to contribute to improvement in the
quality of life, enhanced self-dependency and towns sustainability, creation of livable town
through reducing the sense of alienation among the residents with less dependence on other
settlements for basic infrastructure. The analysis is based on facilities available through
88

government and government-aided institutions. It does not include facilities provided by
private entrepreneur and charitable institutions.

13.2.1 Education
With respect to educational facilities, Jhajjar town has one college, two higher secondary
schools and three primary schools that are unevenly located to serve the existing as well as
proposed population. As per the present conditions and UDPFI guidelines there is gap of 10
primary schools and 7 senior secondary school. (Refer Table 13.1)
13.2.2 Health
Jhajjar has got one hospitals. There are one primary health centre and no dispensaries. There
are twelve doctors and twelve nurses. However, private hospitals are mushrooming all over
the towns and most of them are not according to the standards. There is a requirement of 3
dispensaries as per present gap in the city and UDPFI guidelines. (Refer Table 13.1)
13.2.3 General Public Services
The recreational facility is in the form of just one
park in the city and well maintained by municipality.
There are no cinemas halls in the town but three
video theatres are running in the town. There is need
of community centres and clubs too.
Fire Services
Photo 13.1 Shaheedi Park
There are no hydrants in the town. even the fire

department has got one van to douse any fire in
the town and its surroundings. The fire
department has one fire officer, ten firemen, and
three leading firemen.
The most recent fire in Munda Heda about 25
km away from the town was doused in 2-3
hours. The reason of the fire was by gas cylinder Photo 13.2 Fire office, Jhajjar
which is predominantly the major cause of fire
in this area. Although there was no casualty reported, valuables worth 3000-4000 were lost.
89

There are no multistory buildings in the town and no one takes any NOC from fire
department before or after any construction work.
13.2.4 Law and Order Police
Regarding law and order problems, often it is found that after committing crime in Delhi,
criminals take refuge in UP and Haryana towns. In view of similarity with pattern of crime
and operation a perspective plan by police moderation of NCR towns was suggested. This
entails improvement of human as well as material resources of police in the jurisdiction of
Haryana and other NCR states. In this connection recently an agenda has been adopted to
establish Police University in NCR on lines of Scotland Yard. This university will train
selected police officers of Haryana and other NCR states. Hence it is proposed that the same
university may be established at Jhajjar or Samalkha where adequate land and connectivity in
available to establish such Police University which will be first of its kind in India.

The social infrastructure components have the potential to contribute to the development of
effective population absorbing capacity of the town. Apart from the conventional components
of health and education infrastructure, recreation facilities, open spaces, and crime
90

management infrastructure are some of other important aspects. The Urban Development
Plan Formulation and Implementation guidelines issued by Ministry of Urban Development
& Poverty alleviation in this regard are to be followed. The principal of equity would require
the needs of the poor should not be overlooked and the flexible norms should be adopted to
generate resources to develop the specific social infrastructure which if required, finance a
cross subsidy from outside the government exchequer. The analysis of gap in social
infrastructure considers only government and government-aided institutions and not those
facilities provided by private entrepreneurs and charitable institutions. Thus, the real gaps
look exaggerated and require detailed primary survey to prepare master plan for social
infrastructure for Jhajjar town. (refer Table 13.2)

To attract the foreign direct investment in the integrated township development, one of the
complication would be the availability of good educational and medical system which
includes both formal and non formal system, quality technical education and medical
facilities, universities and business schools, speciality hospitals, suitability/ adaptability of
the systems of education for expatriates and availability of advanced/ highly specialized
fields of education and medicine. The total financial implication for social infrastructure
facilities estimated to the tune of 28.66 Crores including 20.89 crores for education, 3.80
crores for health, 1.77 crores for recreational facilities while the rest 2.2 crores is earmarked
for setting up of fire station and Police station in the town.

SERVICES TO URBAN POOR
14.1 Introduction
When a rural migrant comes in a city, they discover that the housing, jobs, amenities that
had pulled them to the city are not available or inaccessible or beyond their affordable
limit. As a result in Jhajjar, 23% population lives in slum settlements making a living with
minimal informal resources that is available to them.
Slums are essentially the products of urban poverty. Population living in slums lacks
access to basic services like safe water supply, sanitation, solid waste disposal, drainage,
access roads, street lights, and neighbourhood amenities like safe play area for children
and community facilities, and electricity connection, health and education facilities

14.2.1 Population below Poverty Line
It is now widely understood that poverty is
experienced through a variety of dimensions of
which low income is only one of them. Further that
with in the poor, there are important differences in
depths of poverty, the ability of poor households to

of different groups to withstand risks to livelihood

such as unemployment, sickness and eviction
At present, the number of people living below the poverty line (BPL) is 1931. The BPL
population is quite substantial and constitutes around 4.9% percent of the total population.
They mainly belong to Scheduled Caste and Other Backward Class (SC & OBC).
14.2.2 Growth of Slums and Slum Population

Jhajjar is characterized by significant presence of
the urban poor, with a growing poverty profile.
Slum settlements have multiplied over decades and
the living conditions of the poor have not improved.
Environmental decline, inadequate basic services Photo 14.2 Status of Infrastructure in

and infrastructure in the poor settlements hit the poor hardest. Slums are scattered across
the town, with high population densities and the number of people inhabiting them
estimated to be around Nine thousand and fifty six only. (Table 14.1)
The growth of population of Jhajjar town has been very fast. Provision of civic amenities
by the Municipal Committee has not been in commensurate to its fast growth. The
persons living in such colonies/slums are economically weak; and are not expected to pay
higher development charges or the other municipal charges even at a normal rate.

In the Municipal area, there are 8 slums with an approximate population of Nine thousand
and fifty six, which are spread over the whole town, which is a cause for concern and
requires appropriate strategies. Another concern is that several of them are non-notified
making it difficult for the provision of infrastructure and other services on sustainable
basis. Some of the slums in the MUNICIPAL COMMITTEE, JHAJJAR area are very old
established more than two decades ago and continue to suffer deprivations.
U
14.2.3 Socio-Economic Characteristics of Slum Population

Presently there are 8 slum area inhabited by 9056 persons. It shows that at present
approximately 23% population of the town lives in slum areas where civic condition are
very pathetic because the Municipal Committee has not been able to provide basic civic
amenities in these slum areas.
95

14.2.4 Land Holdings and Characteristics
Slums in Municipal Committee are located on private land. However, these slums are
parts of some bigger residential areas, or a total residential area in them. They suffer from
worse deprivations in terms of physical and social amenities as well as sustainable
livelihoods.
14.2.5 Basic Infrastructure and Environmental Conditions

The environmental conditions in some slums are very poor and lack basic civic amenities
like dust proof roads, drainage, protected water supply, street lights and adequate number
of community toilets. The common diseases are prevalent in slums are the water-borne
diseases. At some places basic infrastructure like construction of side drains, pavement of
lanes, toilets, primary health centers etc have been provided. However they are deficient
in quality and quantity. Following problems are common in all slums.
Congested Roads
Poor sanitary conditions
No sewerage connection
No arrangement for Solid waste disposal
Bad condition of buildings
Following are the major problem areas:

14.2.5.1
Drainage
This important amenity is needed to carry the wastewater of the town to a point from
where it is possible to dispose it off finally. Proper drainage, open or covered is
essentially required for the purpose. A general survey of the town indicates that major part
of the city does not have adequate drainage and in some part, the existing drainage needs
immediate overhauling. This is otherwise desirable as roads cannot be maintained unless
and until proper drainage network cover the whole town. The drainage project initially
should cover the major part of the old town and newly grown up colonies by
identification of sites, which are in dire necessity of modifying/constructing new drains.
Drains are chocked in some slum areas resulting in overflow of the drains and
environmental degradation.
96

14.2.5.2
Pavements/Roads
Several colonies need pavements for the newly developed areas as the inhabitants find it
difficult even to reach their houses during rains. Surface drains are also proposed for these
areas. Provision of C.C. pavements/premixing in the city area required to strengthen the
old damaged existing pavements, to give proper access to the public and to provide
smooth flow of the traffic in the city area.
14.2.5.3
Sanitation and Environmental Improvement
It is the one of the most important basic services. In slum areas, it is the primary amenity,
which is to be provided by the local body. Municipal Committee has deputed Safai
Karamcharis to clean these areas. Some of the slums in Jhajjar have a very poor sanitary
conditions, one of the major reasons for this being open drains and lack of drains in those
areas. Similarly, there is no provision for dumping solid waste generated by the residents
and it is dumped at any open space available, usually in open drains or on a vacant plot,
corners of the street etc.
14.2.5.4
Street Lighting
Newly developing colonies require street light facility. Existing light points are also to be
replaced in slum clusters. Besides sodium and mercury lights are to be provided on major
roads and junctions from where slum pockets started. In the absence of parks in the slum
areas, children of slum cluster usually play on the road are easy pray for accidents.
14.2.5.5
Water Supply
Provision of safe drinking water in the slums areas is essential because prevailing sanitary
condition in these areas are not satisfactory and have every possibility of water borne
disease like Cholera, E-Hepatitis, and Gastroenteritis. Presently slum dwellers are
dependent for their need of drinking water and for other purpose on the hand pump
installed in the area and water supply provided through stand posts.
97

14.2.6 Community Facilities and Institutional Structures
The community facilities in the slums should comprise of schools, primary health centers
community halls, etc. The existing community infrastructure facilities wherever and
whatever available are in poor condition.
14.2.7 Poverty reduction and Slum Improvement Initiatives
The Municipal Committee Jhajjar is the lead agency in the implementation of slum
improvement and community development projects and is responsible for the
coordination of different inputs. The focus has been towards community mobilization and
organising the community to implement community development activities through their
involvement. Most of the urban community development program is mobilizing the
community and involving them from the beginning through Neighbourhood Committees
and Community Welfare Organizations.

In the Municipal area, almost one fourth of the population is residing in slum areas, which
are not concentric at particular locations. They are spatially spread all over the Jhajjar
area, which is a cause for concern and requires appropriate strategies. Another concern is
that few slums are not notified making it difficult for the provision of infrastructure and
other services on sustainable basis.
At a recent high level meeting of state housing ministers, mayors and municipal
chairpersons, Minister of States for Housing and Urban Property Alleviation urged them
to ensure that funds were set aside in municipal budgets for shanty-dwellers in proportion
to their percentage in the total population. It was further emphasized that the development
planned for urban infrastructure must take into account the needs of the poor. City
planning and the designing of water and sewerage systems, transportation networks and
storm drainages must be carried out taking into account the needs of such a large group of
citizens.
Taking note of serious imbalance in the living conditions of the urban rich and poor, the
Centre has asked State Governments to earmark development funds for slum dwellers and
other poor citizens in municipal budgets in proportion to their share in urban population.
Moreover, there is no identified expenditure especially marked for slums. Whatever slums
are getting is under the common programmes for the city as a whole. The basic facilities
i.e. water supply and roads in slum areas are provided as a part of whole town.
98

The challenges identified based on analysis and observations of the slum areas and their
characteristics are following:
Lack of infrastructure in the slums, this includes no piped water supply, no

sewerage system, no provision for solid waste management, lack of public toilets.
In absence of proper strategy and policies to create affordable housing stock for
urban poor in the city, the growth of new slums will remain unabated.
Lack of planned interventions in the past has lead to the growth of slums on public
land; the present scenario shows inadequate serviced land for housing within
municipal limits.
Lack of comprehensive urban poverty reduction policy
Weak municipal management resource base: Poor management resource base for
creating and constantly maintaining infrastructure is critical issue. As they depend
on ad-hoc grants, the service provision for the poor becomes sporadic activity
rather than regular service delivery system of local government institutions.
14.3.1 Unorganized and Informal Sector Employment

Studies conducted by Ministry of Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation in 2001
indicate that informal sector accounts to 50-60% of the economy in a majority of the
cities and towns of the country and their share in the urban employment is increasing. The
salient features of informal sector in Jhajjar are:
The sector derives its importance due to the scale and nature of operations;
The activities are concentrated around the old town areas, along the important
road network in the town. They occupy the road margins, footpaths etc. and are
spread all over the MUNICIPAL COMMITTEE, JHAJJAR area.
The people involved in the informal sector constitute a major portion of urban
poor as these units have a low labour income though the entire family might be
involved.

14.4.1 Vision
To provide basic level housing and access to civic amenities and services including
water supply, sanitation, education, and health care to the urban poor at affordable
process keeping in mind overalls socio-economic goals of the town.

As per National Slum Policy the objective to formulate strategy needs to be:
To integrate slum settlements and communities residing within them into the
urban areas as a whole by creating awareness amongst the public and in
Governance of underlying principles that guide process of slum development
and improvement and the options that are available for bringing about the
integration.
To strengthen the legal and policy framework to facilitate the process of slum
development and improvement on a sustainable basis and
To establish a framework for involving all stakeholders for the efficient and
smooth implementation of policy objectives (Annexure IV)
Relocation of the cluster of slums in a better-developed land is not possible as slums

are on private lands. Provision of access to infrastructure and improved housing
should be strategy for integrated development of existing slums in Jhajjar town. They
need to be connected to mainstream through provision of treated potable water. At
least low cost community toilets must be provided, which can be constructed under
Yamuna Action Plan or through Sulabh Shauchalaya scheme or through central/state
government grant, or through NGOs or through public private partnership (PPP). At
the same time, paid community toilets can be developed on PPP basis and the outer
walls can be used to put up advertisements, which can be a source of income for the
municipality. Those households which have toilets, but are not connected to sewer
line have to be connected on a priority basis and this should be done in the first phase.
102

In addition to the various programmes, initiatives, schemes taken by municipality and
state governments for environmental, and infrastructure upgradation, the following
initiatives can be further taken for holistic development of the slums in Jhajjar town:
Water supply connection to BPL families on minimum fixed price
Policy of spending 25-30 % of net municipal fund for improvement of slums
Slum Improvement based on new prioritized matrix approach
New citizen friendly street vendor policy
In-Situ up gradation of notified slums needs to be undertaken in case of those

encroached land pockets where the land owning agencies issue NOC for utilization of
land. Otherwise, relocation of slum clusters need to be undertaken where the land
owning agencies are in position to implement land use proposals on the encroached
land as per requirement in larger public interest. In this case, land owning agency also
contributes a part of the share towards the re-settlement cost. Extension of minimum
basic civic amenities for community use like construction of community toilets and
also introduction of mobile toilets vans in slums irrespective of the status of the
encroached land.
Slum society should be formulated and a combined metering system should be
followed for water supply in slum areas.

The cost of construction of new houses, construction and upgradation of old
houses, pavement of streets, surface drainage system, provision of street lights,
community toilets and water stand posts is estimated Rs.1 crore for each slum i.e. 8
crores for 8 slums. Exact financial implication can be worked out after a detailed
project report is prepared for each slum cluster as per IHSDP (Integrated Housing
and slum development programme). Thus, the total investment required for slum
development is 8 crores.

MUNICIPAL FINANCE
15.1 Introduction
The financial profile of the Municipal Committee of Jhajjar indicates the state of the
towns finances and the capacity of the Municipal Committee to manage its finances
and mobilizes resources for maintaining infrastructural services at prescribed norms
and standards.
15.2 Existing Status-Municipal Committee Jhajjar

The finances of Municipal Committee, Jhajjar have been reviewed for the last four
years, commencing from the financial year 2002-03 to 2005-06.
The review of financial position of Municipal Committee, Jhajjar indicated that it has
not acquired stability during the review period. Total Income, which was Rs. 0.76
crores in the year 2002-03 decrease to Rs. 0.41 crores in the year 2003-04. But again
increases in year 2005-06 to Rs 1.07 crores. Similarly, the total expenditure of
Municipal Committee Jhajjar was Rs. 0.79 crores in 2002-03 decreased to Rs. 0.41
crores by 2003-04 again it reached to Rs. 2.14 crores in the year 2005-06. (Refer
figure 15.1)
Municipal Committee Jhajjar is having the Cash- based, single entry system of
accounting. The review of financial position of Municipal Committee, Jhajjar indicate
that both income and expenditure has increased within the review period except for
minor fluctuations during 2003-04..

15.2.1 MUNICIPAL COMMITTEE, JHAJJAR - Revenue and Capital Account
For the purpose of detailed analysis of income and expenditure, the items of account
have been categorized under the following major heads:
Revenue Account: All recurring items of income and expenditure are included under
this head. These include taxes, charges, salaries, maintenance expenditure, etc.
Capital Account: The income and expenditure items under this account are primarily
nonrecurring in nature. Income items include loans, contributions by Government of
Haryana, other agencies and capital grants under various State and Central
Government programmes like sale proceeds of land. Expenditure items include
expenses booked under developmental works and purchase of capital assets.
15.2.2 Municipal Income

The income breakup between revenue and capital in aggregate has been discussed
earlier. In order to review revenue income of Municipal Committee Jhajjartax, nontax and transfers including grants has been taken into consideration.
Revenue income comprises of internal resources in the form of tax and non-tax items.
External resources are in the form of shared taxes/transfers and revenue grants from
the State Government. Tax income is lower then the non tax income. The non tax
income has increased from 0.30 crores in 2002-03 to 0.63 crores in 2005-06 and the
tax income has remain constant from 0.12 crores in 2002-03 to 0.12 crores in 200506.
The revenue registered increase both in tax and non-tax category (refer Table 15.1 and
figure 15.2). This strengthened the view that Municipal Committee, Jhajjar with better
management and public awareness programme will be capable enough to maintain
required infrastructure facilities without introducing any new tax on the residents.

There is a positive trend in all the tax and non-tax revenue income from year 2004-05
and 2005-06 but after that, the income is some time decreasing and in some cases it
increases. This has clearly indicated that earlier the town did not have strong financial
positions to sustain and maintain the urban infrastructure but now due to proper
collection of taxes they are in a increasing manner in 2005-06.

Revenue expenditure on establishments was higher then the other revenue

expenditures. The revenue expenditure have increased from 2002-03 to 2004-05 as
shown in the figure 15.3.
15.3 Issue s and Concerns

The income and expenditure of Municipal Committee, Jhajjar both have registered
positive annual growth by the year 2004-05, which shows the financial soundness of
the Municipal body. But after 2003-04 it had decreased but again regained its strength
in 2004-05.Even after a good rise in income in 2005-06 the net income is far less than
the net expenditure that shows the problem lies in the proper management and
problem of tax collection of financial assets. In such situation, to initiate development
projects will be difficult unless provided planned efforts are made to utilize available
financial resources. However, there exists enough scope to enhance revenue
generation from the existing land and local taxes and to rejuvenate the tax
administration system. The maladies in tax administration relate to lack of proper
assessment of demand, billing and collection. Tax collection and generation of
additional revenue could be ensured through a scheme of incentives and penalties for
municipal staff and the taxpayers. The scope of enhancing property tax (house tax) on
rented properties has not been explored.
In recent years, the central government has provided several fiscal incentives to help
mobilization of resources for urban infrastructure development. These includes
permitting the issuance of tax free Municipal bonds, broadening the definition of
infrastructure to include urban infrastructure such as water supply and sanitation,
removing restrictions on foreign direct investment in urban infrastructure and
encouraging externally assisted urban sector projects. Resources available from main
109

sources of taxation to local bodies that are octroi and house tax apart from central and
state government loan and grants.

15.4.1 Vision
The vision for Municipal Committee Jhajjar is to improve its capacities for
augmentation of financial resources and efficient service delivery and
maintenance.
15.4.2 Strategies
There is a need to streamline systems and procedures for day to day functioning and
instill a robust management information system that facilitates efficient planning,
monitoring and decision-making ultimately leading to efficient and responsive
municipality.
15.4.2.1
Accounting System:
Accrual, double entry system should be adopted on priority to increase pace of
development, timely planning and strong capacity building. This system will
reduce adhocism in financial management of Municipal Committee.
Zero percent budgeting system need to be adopted to monitor regular and
timely implementation of proposals and maintenance works.
Both these systems need to be adopted within next financial year.
15.4.2.2
E-Governance System:
Municipal Committee Jhajjar has not computerized its basic information for Egovernance. Geographical Information System (GIS) is also proposed to keep the
current and accurate data related to physical aspects i.e. maps of ward boundary,
physical and social infrastructure houses and other establishments for proper planning
and financial return (house tax).
15.4.2.3
House Tax:
To achieve the target of 85% house tax collection municipality need revamp tax
collection methods. This system will help to provide employment as well as high
collection of house tax.
110
House tax collection is proposed through internet through credit card for the
convenience of the people and to save the time and manpower.
Use of GIS and three d (3d) model system to update the house/ properties data.
Provision of mobile van to pay the house tax and to identify locations of Easy
Billing System Network.
Provision of simplified unit area system, voluntary discloser and deposit
system.
Provision of penalty against the house tax offenders and incentives for
employees to collect maximum house tax.
Provision of drop boxes at convenient locations.
15.4.2.4
Land as a resource
Urban land is a highly valuable asset thats should be very judiciously used to raise
resources by the implementing agencies to fund the repayment of loans taken for
initial development and for funding future development programmes. Even the private
sector projects are likely to derive large benefits because of overall development of
Jhajjar and hence a considerable value would be added to there assets. It is therefore
desirable that a part of this net value addition should be recovered in the form of
development and betterment charges. The same should be used for funding further
development programmes in the town by loading it on to the land cost.
Optimal utilization of land through appropriate prices and distribution mechanism and
land use control measures can yield substantial surplus for the Municipality for
undertaking additional development works. Some of the methods through which land
could be used as a viable resource for financing various urban development
programmes in Jhajjar are as follows:
Creation of land banks by the Municipality and other agency for utilization for
future requirements
Permitting the private sector to develop the land and compulsorily recovering
a part of the value added because of such permitted development.
Granting of Transferable Development Rights(TDR),
Funding of infrastructure projects on innovative methods like
BOT,BOLT,BOOT etc by providing land as initial input.(Annexure 1)
Permitting commercial use of precious land by the private sector and deriving
returns in the form of social housing/development for the occupants of the
land
Recycling of land for facilitating the shifting/relocation of industrial units,
slum clusters located there on.
111

15.4.2.5
User charges
Among the non-tax resources, the user charges happen to be the most important
mechanism of cost recovery. Water supply, sewerage, solid waste management and
parks qualify for the imposition of user charge. The economic rationale of cost
recovery entails that the user charges have to be based on the unit cost of providing
service.
15.4.2.6
Restructuring and Reforms
Reforms in institutional, fiscal and economic systems of the town will be necessary to
achieve the management efficiency and credit worthiness. It will help in sustaining a
long-term programme of infrastructure investments based on private finance while
ensuring the effective utilization of public funds. At the same time, systematic reforms
focused on critical services like water and sanitation is an equally important option.
Such systematic reforms in selected sectors would have to be centered on significant
private sector participation in the management, financing and delivery of services.
Without these reforms at the town level or specific sectoral level, it would not be
possible to ensure the inflow of private investment in urban infrastructure.
To ensure optimal utilization of linkages of Jhajjar with Haryana state for the
development of core economic activities such as agro-based industrial estate,
commercial complexes, residential complexes etc. Even the Municipal Committee
Jhajjar can have its own share in the joint venture.
Revision of house tax especially on rented house and rented commercial, institutional
and industrial buildings may be undertaken on priority.
15.4.2.7
Capacity Building
Since the problems associated with urban management are of relatively recent origin
in India. The ability to fully understand and deal with these problems is yet to fully
mature, especially at the State and city level. This calls for strengthening capabilities
to address these issues and under take the task of developing sustainable urban
management systems.
Capacity building will have to be addressed at two levels institutional and
individual. Institutional capacity would primarily involve creating a pool of
knowledge and a knowledge management center that would sustain and enhance
expertise as well as facilitate more informed planning. It would also sponsor regular
to help formulate the right mitigation strategies, without merely adopting what other
countries have tried.
112

At the individual level, a major exercise of training and skill development of the
public officials and other public functionaries would be taken up to make such
officials aware of the nuances of urban planning and the specific issues involved in
managing city problems. This would be targeted at personnel belonging to the State
level officers, municipal corporations, metropolitan development authorities, traffic
police, environmental authorities, State Transport Corporation, Public Works
Departments, etc.
15.4.2.8
Municipal Bonds
The central government decided to reopen issue of municipal bonds and

municipalities are likely to get into the bond market to tap funds for projects ranging
from metro rail to water, housing, roads, sewerage, sanitation, environment and basic
infrastructure ventures. The finance ministry decided to provide guarantee cover to
urban local bodies that seek to raise funds from the domestic markets. The
government has also lifted the Rs 200 crore sealing to raise funds through the bond
market. Credit rating agencies like ICRA and CRISIL are currently entertaining
proposals from municipal bodies that are yet to get credit ratings. Funds raised from
the bond market will compliment the. Municipal bonds can be implemented through
these simple steps:
Identification of projects and their financial implications.
Resolutions of ULB to raise funds from the market through tax free Municipal
Bond.
Application to State Govt. for its share or grant/ guarantee cover.
Application to Municipal office finance GOI through State Government

through Guarantee Cover.
Approach to CRISIL/ ICRA for credit rating.
Appointment of financial institution to raise funds through bonds from

domestic market.
Appointment of Authorized signatory and Regulatory officer.
Separate Bank Account.
Printing of Bonds.
Listing of Bonds with SEBI etc.
15.4.2.9
Right Sizing
Adopting multi-skilling technique to ensure most effective utilization of municipal

staff and to achieve the objective of right sizing. A key parameter for right sizing is
the option of appropriate hiring and firing , which would not be possible due to
limitations posed by relevant legislation and rules. However, a multi-skilling
technique through appropriate training of existing staff for different complementary
113

functions would help in better utilization of municipal staff and achieving the
objective of right sizing. Otherwise public private participation and outsourcing
management of infrastructure facilities have to be adopted.
15.4.2.10
Physical Planning Exercise
State governments and the municipal Committee should make a conscious effort at
controlling the city sprawl in a planned and unplanned manner, adopting best
practices in Urban development and planning norms. There is an opportunity in the
form of availability of large developed tracts of land in and around the town where the
development can be planned and replotted in a phased manner. The growth
management strategy should focus on:
Controlling and guiding urban sprawl in a phased manner applying modern

principle of physical planning and growth management.
Planning and providing for infrastructure, including connectivity in the line
with the intended growth plan rather than attempting to only service already
connected. The focus should be dispersing growth more evenly across the
town.
Zonal plans for the old Municipal areaneed to be prepared to dovetailwith the
planpreparedby the State Town Planning Department. The municipality having
authority under 73rd and 74th constitutional amendmentcan take initiative in
this regard.
Formation of a special planning authenticity covering Jhajjar municipal area
and urban fringe area to arrest indiscriminate sprawl and ensure equitable and
sustainable urban development
114
URBAN ENVIRONMENT
16
16.1 Introduction
The basic meaning of environment is surroundings. The sum of social, biological and
physical or chemical factors composes the surroundings of man. Environment is
everything that surrounds man. The environment plays a crucial role in establishing
the paradigm of future development.
The general quality of environment of the Jhajjar town is good which can be
attributed to a number of factor like absence of industries, presence of reserved forest,
water bodies etc. However, there are some areas where the environment quality is
deteriorating due to the growing slums, low-lying areas, poor garbage disposal system
etc.
16.2 Problematic Areas:
Air Pollution
Noise Pollution
Water Pollution
16.2.1 Noise and Air Pollution:
The database for Air Pollution is not available for the town. Air quality monitoring
stations are required to create data base so that appropriate remedial measures can be
suggested. Normally for Noise following standards are considered to maintain noise
ambience.

Note1. Day time is reckoned in between 6 a.m., and 9 p.m.
2. Night time is reckoned in between 9 p.m., and 6 a.m.
115

3. Silence zone is defined as areas upto 100 meters around
such premises as hospitals, educational institutions and
courts. The silence zones are to be declared by the
Competent Authority.
4. Mixed categories of areas should be declared as one of the
four above mentioned categories by the Competent Authority
and the corresponding standard shall apply.
The air quality status is monitored since 1978 as Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) by
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Haryana State Pollution Control Board
but this town has no permanent station to monitor pollution level. Otherwise, the level
of air pollution is less in the town as no major industries in functioning the town.
There are some places viz. railway crossing point and crossing of state highway and
NH- 71 results in air and noise pollution.
1. Beside appropriate distinctions should be made between different environments in
terms of setting ambient noise standards, e.g. rural versus urban; educational and
medical establishments versus other areas, night-time versus daytime in residential
areas, areas in the vicinity of road, rail, airport infrastructure, and protected areas,
etc.
2. Noise emissions norms (e.g. loudspeaker, automobile horns, fireworks ratings)
appropriate to various activities need to ensure that exposure levels to third parties
who are not participants in the activity do not exceed prescribed ambient
standards.
16.2.2 Water Pollution:

The existing scenario of water pollution essentially deals with the availability of water
resources of acceptable quality in the town. It also depends upon the precipitation and
re-charge potential of ground water reserves and the water availability from the
adjoining areas of the town by way of surface water flow through canals or tube wells.
In the core area of the town, the environment is spoiled due to absence of efficient
sewerage, drainage and solid waste disposal system. Open drains result in unhygienic
living conditions. In rainy season, these drains overflow and pollute the local
environment.
1. Practices of rain water harvesting and artificial recharge and revival of traditional
methods for enhancing groundwater recharge need to be supported.
2. There is need to mandate water harvesting and artificial recharge in all new
constructions in relevant urban areas, as well as design techniques for road
116

surfaces and infrastructure to enhance groundwater recharge. Promote capacity
development of relevant stakeholders and provide web based information on water
harvesting techniques.
3. Need to prepare and implement a comprehensive strategy for regulating use of
ground water by large industrial and commercial establishment based on a careful
evaluation of aquifer capacity and annual recharge.
4. Suitable sites for dumping the toxic waste material may be identified and remedial
measures may be taken to prevent the movement of the toxic waste in the ground
water.
5. Excessive use of fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides are the main non point
source of the pollution. These pollutants contribute to the pollution of the ground
water as well as surface water. Therefore the optional utilization of fertilizers,
pesticides and insecticides should be encouraged for improving the water quality.
16.2.3 Surface water Quality
80% of the water is abstracted from the water sources for the domestic, agricultural
and industrial applications. Wastewater discharged back to the rivers, ponds, open
areas which influence the quality of both surface water and underground water.
The other reasons for pollution of water are dumping of solid waste in the canals
and water bodies, throwing of animal carcasses, slum dwellings, excess use of
fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides in the agricultural fields, discharge of un-treated
effluent by industries, discharge of sewerage by municipalities etc. out of these,
discharge of sewage and industrial waste are the major contributors for pollution of
water bodies.
16.2.4 Land Pollution:
This is the important aspect of environment, which needs immediate attention. There
are various factors by which land gets polluted such as emergence of slums,
indiscriminate disposal of garbage, low lying areas/ water- logging areas etc. a
number of vacant plots in various colonies like sindicate mohala, ravidas nagar etc
have been turned into garbage disposal points thereby leading to unhygienic living
conditions. These garbage disposal points and water logging have became the
breeding sites for the mosquitoes and various other pathogens, which lead to a number
of disease like Cholera, Malaria, Typhoid, gastro- intestinal infection etc.
Many slums, which are present in the town, are classified into notified and un-notified
slums. The un-notified slums are in bad state. They do not have good living
conditions, no sewerage system, no pakka roads and other facilities. These slums spoil
the environment because of unhygienic conditions due to garbage dumping, open
drains and water logging.
117

16.2.5 Recommendations:
Following are suggestions to reduce the levels of environment pollution:
Urban local bodies to undertaken monitoring of compliance with management

plans. Measures will also be taken to encourage municipalities to annually
report their environment performance to their governing bodies.
Consider creation of an Environment Restoration Fund. The net proceeds of
economic instruments, user fees for access to special natural resources, and
voluntary contributions. The Fund may be used for restoration of
environmental resources, including clean-up toxic and hazardous waste
legacies.
Construction of Eco toilets in areas where sewerage network is not available.
Consider mandating the installation of water saving closets and taps in the
building bye-laws and other available regulatory mechanisms.
An integrated approach to energy conservation and adoption of renewable
energy technologies need to be adopted. The programmes of dissemination of
improved fuel wood stoves, and solar cookers, suited to local cooking
practices and biomass resources need to be accelerated.
Viable models of public-private partnerships for setting up and operating
secure landfills, incinerators, and other appropriate techniques for the
treatment and disposal of toxic and hazardous waste, both industrial and
biomedical, on payment by users, taking the concerns of local communities
into account should explored and implementation.
Capacities of local bodies for segregation, recycling, and reuse of municipal
solid wastes- recognizing inter-alia the positive impacts it may have on the
welfare of safai-karamcharis, and setting up and operating sanitary landfills, in
particular through competitive outsourcing of solid waste management
services need to be strengethened.
Informal sector systems of collection and recycling of various materials need
to be given legal recognition and financial strength. In particular, enhance their
access to institutional finance and relevant technologies.
Develop and enforce regulations and guidelines for management of e-waste, as
part of the hazardous was the regime.
Include ambient noise as among the environmental quality parameters to be
routinely monitored in specified sites.
In setting ambient environmental standards, especially for air quality, the
potential impacts on designated heritage sites must be taken into account.
Heritage sites considered to have Incomparable Values would merit stricter
standards than otherwise comparable situations, and particular attention should
be paid to monitoring and enforcement of environmental standards in their
118
case. Integrated regional development plans should be drawn up, with

participation of the local community, to shift polluting activities or render
them much less polluting, to treat waste streams, to review transportation
options, and adopt building norms which maintain the overall heritage
ambience of the area.
Encourage industry associations to promote the adoption of ISO 14000 among
their members, through provision of technical and training support.
Mainstream promotion of ISO 14000 in the small-scale sector in the various
promotion schemes for the sector.
Formulate Good Practice Guidelines foreclosable to enhance their scientific
basis, transparency, and requirements of participation.
Promote adoption of clean technologies by industry, in particular in the small
and medium sector, through regulatory and fiscal measures, and standards
setting.
16.3 Conclusion
The Jhajjar town being a border town is enriched with inherent potentials for
development, maintained properly and provided with good infrastructure and this will
result in one of the best environmentally rich places in Jhajjar District and Haryana
State. The general quality of the local environment is, at present, to some extent
normal. However, the time is not far when the same will deteriorate, if proper
attention is not given to environment related problems. It is further suggested that air
quality standard need to be maintained as per norms indicated by CPCB. (Refer

DISASTER MANAGEMENT
17.1 Introduction
Human settlements are frequently affected by natural disasters, which take heavy toll
on human lives, destroy buildings and infrastructure and have far-reaching economic
and social consequences for the community. Among all the natural disasters that
Jhajjar may face, earthquake and fire hazards are the most devastating ones.
17.2 Earthquake
The Vulnerability Atlas of India indicates that the Haryana Sub-Region of NCR falls
within High Damage Risk zone (MSK VIII)-with regard to earthquake. Accordingly,
town development/construction in the Jhajjar needs to be planned taking care of the
natural and man-made hazards. Jhajjar comes under High Damage Risk Zone.(refer
Map17.1)
Map 17.1 Haryana district map
Seismic Zone
HIGH DAMAGE RISK ZONE
Mewat
MODERATE DAMAGE RISK ZONE

LOW DAMAGE RISK ZONE
120

From the earthquake hazard map, it is seen that about 45 percent of the area of the
state in the north and east consisting of Ambala, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Kurukshetra,
Panipat, Rewari, Rohtak, Jhajjar and Yamuna Nagar districts is liable to MSK
Intensity VIII, and about 38 percent could have Intensity VII. An earthquake of M 6.5
occurred in Gurgaon district in 1720, M 6.0 in Faridabad district in 1960 and M 6.7
occurred in Uttar Pradesh at about 15 km from the State boundary.
Jhajjar town falls in seismic zone-IV as per seismic Zone Map of Indian Standard IS1893. This makes the area viable to MSK intensity of VIII and is considered as high
risk zone. Such intensity may cause severe damages some of which are following:
Type A-Houses constructed with stone, rural structures, un-burnt bricks, clay
etc may suffer destruction causing gaps in walls, collapse of parts of buildings,
loosening of cohesion of parts of buildings and collapse of inner walls.
Type-B-Buildings construction with ordinary bricks, large blocks, natural
stone and prefabricated type buildings may suffer heavy damage causing large
and deep cracks in walls.
Most building of type C i.e. RCC buildings may have small cracks in walls,
fall of large pieces of plaster, slipping of tiles, cracks/fall in chimneys etc.
Fright and panic is caused among people, breaking off of branches of trees etc
takes place.
Considering the areas affected during past earthquake of M 6.5, it can be expected
that such as earthquake could adversely affect the entire region with damaging
intensities and could affect more than 50% depending on the location of the epicentre. Therefore, in terms of probable damage scenario, Jhajjar is quite prone to
earthquake. The whole urban development must be checked for safety against an
intensity of VII probability of occurrence, and upgraded for required seismic
resistance in buildings and infrastructure as found necessary.
17.3 Fire Hazard

Fast growing towns like Jhajjar are threatened by fire hazards, which may be
attributed to following main reasons:
Non-implementation of fire safety norms as part of building byelaws
Encroachment, over crowded and haphazard growth affect the movement and
timely approachability of fire tenders in emergency.
Illegal and loose electric connections
Sub-standard wiring and over loading of electrical system
121
Slums are constructed with highly flammable material and some constructed
with very toxic materials like plastics, polyethylene sheets, bamboo, soft wood
etc. without proper access for fire tenders.
Illegal storage and hazardous commercial activities
Inadequate pumping facilities hamper fire fighting and control of fire.
Inadequate availability of special fire fighting equipments with local bodies

especially for high-rise multistoried buildings, where it is a prerequisite
17.4 Floods
The river systems in Haryana causing floods are the Yamuna, the Ghaggar and other
rivers like Sahibi, Saraswati, Tangri and Markanda. A number of drains with
inadequate capacity also give rise to considerable inundation problems. Drainage
congestion due to surface and subsurface drainage problem, river spills and tendency
of rivers to change their course constitute the main flood problem in the state. (refer

17.5 Proposals:
1. Seismic micro-zonation on a scale of 1:1,00,000 to 1:1,50,000
should be prepared for Haryana state based on the already
available data/indicators. Seismic micro-zonation for selected
areas/towns like Jhajjar, having high growth rates should be taken
up on priority.
2. Comprehensive risk evaluation of Jhajjar needs to be undertaken on
priority in order to identify areas vulnerable to fires and database in
terms of available equipments and personnel should be compiled
and periodically updated. Part IV of National Building Code and
122
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
other related Indian Standards provide safety regulations.

Municipality and town planning office should follow these as guide
for formulating Development Control Rules/bye-laws for mitigation
of the fire hazard.
Need for remodeling of existing drains, planning pumping works for
low lying areas and provision for adequate water ways under
railway/road bridges and in respect of embankment and irrigation
channels are important aspects for flood management in the state.
Disaster management is a multi-sectoral, multi-disciplinary subject,
which involves many groups. Therefore, all the groups
(Government/NGOs/Community) should work together.
Post-disaster Management Plan should be prepared as part of the
Town Development Plan. Disaster Management Centers with its
headquarters at Mini Secretariat in Jhajjar for sensitizing people,
training of personnel and mitigation measures. Efforts need to be
made on using state of art technologies viz., GIS, GPS, remote
sensing, computer modeling and expert systems, electronic
information and management systems etc. for collection, storage,
retrieval and dissemination of information.
Detailed database should be compiled on the occurrence of hazards,
damage caused to buildings and infrastructure and the economic
losses suffered by various government departments, public and
private enterprises, agriculture and horticulture and the related
infrastructure in the area.
The relevant Town and Country Planning acts, Development and
Municipal Acts should be carefully examined and amendments be
carried out to incorporate necessary provisions on safety aspects
relating
to
natural
hazards.
The
Haryana
State
Government/Municipal Committee Jhajjar should appropriately
modify Development Control Rules and Building Byelaws applicable
in the town, having provisions on safety aspects relating to natural
hazards and fire safety. Innovative construction technologies should
be studied and implemented.

VISION
18.1 Background
Jhajjar is a big town having population of 39004. After the analysis which was
entirely based upon the secondary information collected from the municipal
Committee office, PHED Haryana, town planning department, Jhajjar, and other
government agencies SWOT analysis is done which will help to build up the vision
for the town. (Refer figure 18.1)
Figure 18.1 SWOT Analysis
18.2 Introduction
A SWOT analysis is an instrumental framework in value based management and
strategy formulation to identify Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats
for a particular town.
Strength and Weakness are internal value creating (or destroying) factors such as
assets, skills or resources a city has at its disposal relatively to its competitors. They
can be measured using internal assessments or external benchmarking.
Opportunities and Threats are external value creating (or destroying) factors a city
cannot control, but emerge from either the competitive dynamics of its industry/
markets or from demographic, economic, political, technical social, legal or cultural
factors.
124
18.3 SWOT Analysis

PLAN MONITORING AND REVIEW
127
19.1 Background
The master plan of the Jhajjar town should be convertible to 3-d model. Its zonal
plans should be prepared with the help of satellite imagery and geographic
information system inputs. It will be a very effective tool to check unauthorized
construction and efficient management of civic utilities.
Plan monitoring has two main objectives:
1. The socio-economic and functional efficiency of the performance of human
settlement has to be monitored and evaluated so that changes required to
improve the quality of life could be identified and put into action through the
appropriate measures.
2. The plan should be continuously made responsive to the emerging socioeconomic forces.
To achieve this object there should be monitoring system in the plan implementation
frame work. There is reasonable possibility of arresting the unintended developments
taking place in the city through effective monitoring. This is based on the following
proposition:
1. No long range urban development plan can be implemented as it is.
2. The plan should be responsive to the happenings and emerging Scio-economic
and other forces during the plan implementation period.
3. Time lags between the happenings and the emerging Socio-economic forces
and the plan responses create accentuating conditions of un-intended growth.
4. The responsive plan to check the unintended growth needs a scientific
monitoring frame.
Monitoring frame is required to evaluate the achievement of physical targets
prescribed in the plan and identification of physical and socio-economic change in the
city to review the plan policies.
There could be very large number of aspects in case of physical targets to judge the
performance of various sectors. For systematic and precise working, physical targets
for some selected aspects can be worked out in consultation with the local body. The
physical targets are to be monitored yearly, 5 yearly or in the midterm (2014). This
will provides a scale to assess the achievement in different sectors for the city
development
128
19.2 Monitoring Unit

A monitoring unit with the modern data processing facilities should be created which
would be responsible for collection of primary and secondary data, its analysis and
bringing the important changes to the notice of the authority comprehensively once in
a year. Standard formats shall have to be worked out by this unit for the purpose of
meaningful comparison and to monitor change. Preferably this unit should be under
technical expert or independent consultant.
19.3 Plan Review

The plan monitoring would provide sufficient material for any modifications required
in the plan.
Any other aspects because of emerging socio-economic and physical forces could be
taken from study and to review the plan proposals. A comprehensive review
encompassing all aspects should be taken up after 5 years of implementation of the
development/ master plan.
Policies indicate directions: it is the detailed development projects which ultimately
create environment-good or bad. During the plan implementation, all aspects of
development i.e. housing, transport, work centers, recreation, infrastructure, etc. need
study and research to make the plan effective in providing high quality living
environment. Consultant should be constantly doing these studies, research and
monitoring work to make planning a firm instrument for the development of this
town.
19.4 Future Course of Action

Beside implementation of proposals of the City Development Plan/ master plan of
Jhajjar town it is suggested that a study is required to delineate Jhajjar town region
based on technical parameter related to its influence zone and ulmland characteristics.
This exercise may require much bigger area to study for delineation purpose. After
delineation of the region Regional Plan for the Jhajjar town Region needs to be
prepared keeping in mind its strategic location, physical vulnerability and economic
compulsions.
Likewise for old town, zonal plan need to be prepared as early as possible

ANNEXURE-II
(Models of PublicPrivate Partnerships)
i) Build Operate Transfer (BOT)
Under this method of financing the public and the private sector join hands to
complete a project. A common method of financing urban transport works is the
Build-Operator-Transfer method.
This is a contractual arrangement whereby the project sponsor undertakes the
construction, including financing, of a given infrastructure facility, and the operation
and maintenance thereof. The project sponsor operates the facility over a fixed term
during which it is allowed to charge facility users appropriate tolls, fees, rentals, and
charges not exceeding those proposed in its bids or as negotiated and incorporated in
the contract to enable the project sponsor to recover its investment, and operating and
maintenance expenses in the project. The facility is transferred to the government
agency or local government unit concerned at the end of a predetermined term.
The main characteristic of such project is finance arrangement which sets its reliance
on the revenue generated from a project for the repayment of loans and investment.
An easily understood example is toll roads where the funds for the construction and
operation of the project are generated by the users.
A number of are involved in a BOT project. There is the entrepreneur who takes up
the work and is the driving force behind a project. The contractors construct and may
operate the asset. They may be a part of the operating group. The Government is a
party as it is the main client who wants the job done and a customer is the user of the
facility. A financier lends money and may be a bank or an international agency such as
the IFC and a facilitator does the initial assessment of a project and design it.
ii) Build-and-Transfer (BT)
A contractual arrangement whereby the project sponsor undertakes the financing and
construction of a given infrastructure or development facility. After the completion of
the project it is turned over to the government agency or local government unit
concerned, which pays the sponsor or an agreed schedule, its total investment
expended on the project, plus a reasonable rate of return thereon. This arrangement
may be employed in the construction of any infrastructure or development project,
including critical facility that, for security or strategic reasons, must be operated
directly by the Government.
iii) Build Lease and Transfer (BLT)
132

Under this arrangement, a project sponsor is authorized to finance and construct an
infrastructure or development facility and upon its completion turns it over to the
government agency or local government unit concerned on a lease arrangement for a
fixed period, after which ownership of the facility is automatically transferred to the
government agency or local government unit concerned.
iv) Build-Own-and Operate (BOO)
A contractual arrangement whereby a project proponent is authorized to finance,
construct, own, operate and maintain an infrastructure or development facility from
which the proponent is allowed to recover its total investment, operating and
maintenance costs plus a reasonable return thereon by collecting tolls, fees, rentals or
other charges from facility users. Under this project, the proponent who owns the
assets of the facility may assign its operation and maintenance to a facility operator.
v) Build Transfer and Operate (BTO)
The public sector contracts out the building of an infrastructure facility to a private
entity such that the contractor builds the facility on a turn key basis, assuming cost
overruns, delays, and specified performance risks. Once the facility is commissioned
satisfactorily, title is transferred to the implementing agency. The private entity
however operates the facility on behalf of the implementing agency under an
agreement.
vi) Contract-Ad-and Operate (CAO)
A contractual arrangement whereby the project proponent adds to an existing
infrastructure facility which is renting from the Government and operates the
expended project over an agreed franchise period. There may or may not be a transfer
arrangement with regard to the added facility provided by the project proponent.
vii) Develop-Operate-and-Transfer (DOT)
A contractual arrangement whereby favorable conditions external to a new
infrastructure project which is to be build by a private project proponent are integrated
into the arrangement by giving that entity the right to develop adjoining property, and
thus, enjoy some of the benefits the investment creates.
viii) Rehabilitate-Operate-and Transfer (ROT)
A contractual arrangement whereby an existing facility is turned over to the private
sector to refurbish, operate and maintain for a franchise period at the expiry of which
the legal title to the facility is turned over to the Government.
ix) Rehabilitate-Own and Operate (ROO)
A contractual arrangement whereby an existing facility is turned over to the private
sector to refurbish and operate with no time limitation imposed on ownership. As long
133

as the operator is not an violation of its franchise, it can continue to operate the
facility in perpetuity.
x) Shadow Tolls
Shadow tolls are per vehicle amounts paid to a facility operator by a third party as a
sponsoring governmental entity and not by facility users. Shadow toll amounts paid to
a facility operator are based upon the type of vehicle and distance traveled. Shadow
tolls can be an element of finance approach whereby a public or private sector
developer/operator accepts certain obligations and risks- such as construction,
operations and most specifically traffic and receive periodic shadow toll payments
in place of, or in addition to, real or explicit tolls paid by users. Funds for shadow tolls
can come from diverse (and multiple) government and/or private sector sources.
Shadow tolls automatically spread periodic or annual payments to a facility operator
over a concession or franchise period: this can place the initial financing
responsibility on the developer/operator rather than placing this burden on the public
sector agency sponsoring the project.
xi) Commercial Development
The aim is to explore the possibility of revenue generation from sale/lease of a strip of
land on either side along the road through commercial development of land. In
addition, ways and means of generating additional revenue including advertisement
revenue, direct tolling, shadow tolling etc. are envisaged.
