The slope failure occurred between Jatinga Lampur Railway Station and Harangajao Railway Station.  Excavation and toe cutting of moderate steep slope destabilized the natural slope to a great extent.  Incessant and intense downpour on 14.06.17 and in the

Jatinga Lampur railway slide.
Between Jatinga Lampur Railway Station and Harangajao Railway Station.
Toe support for the affected slope through construction of strong RCC retaining wall with sufficient weep holes, founded on sound substratum. Covering the vulnerable slope by geosynthetics/geotextiles during rainy season.
Weak slope forming material: The affected area is composed of highly weathered sandstone and shale overlain by thick insitu soil. Anthropogenic activities: Slope modification by excavating and toe cutting for laying rail track. Rainfall: Incessant and he
