Tep, Y. and Kumar, A. (2018); MacroScale (1:50,000) Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in Toposheet nos. 83C/16 and 83H/1 in  Dima Hasao and Cachar districts in Asam and East Jaintia hills  District in  Meghalaya and West and Central MNipur district in MNi
According to local sources, several landslides in the adjacent areas and also on the upslope portion of the hill had occurred in the past.
Bandarkhal railway slide.
Between NFR Bridge No. 305 and Tunnel No. 19 (~2 km SW of Bandarkhal Railway Station).
In order to prevent further undercutting by river, substantial amount of large boulders/riprap be placed at the toe portion of slide and also on sinuous curves near the affected slope.Toe support for the affected slope through construction of strong RCC
Geologically, the affected slope comprises of unconsolidated materials or loose debris. Soil cum sandstone fragments of considerable thickness constitute the slope forming material, perhaps brought down at the footslope by the action of gravity. Stream b
