A flexible approach to safeguard policies without strict adherence to established procedures or methods facilitate timely physical construction progress while ensuring the smooth implementation of resettlement plans. For instance, in the case of the construction of the elevated flyover from Jehangir Chowk to Rambagh, a sectional approach was proposed by ERA and approved by ADB. This approach allowed land acquisition to be carried out in a sequential basis within identified sections rather than requiring completion of all resettlement actions in advance of project commencement.
