The shallow translational debris slide formed due to highly unstable and weathered slope forming materials. And another important factor causing the slide is modification of slope for railway construction. The weathering intensity is more at the crown ar

Geotextiling, grouting and retaining wall have been constructed for the protection of the slope but it is not stabilising the slope. Geotextile have been torn down and the material which have slided down poses a great threat to the retaining wall as it i

The debris should be removed so as to protect the grouting and retaining wall constructed.
1. The affected slope comprises highly unstable and weathered (W4) sandstone and shale along with pebble bed 2. Slope have been modified for railway construction. 3. Over-saturation of weak slope forming material due to rainfall.
