A large area is undergoing slow, downward movement of slope forming material. The movement is caused by shear stress produced by thick overburden on a 25o-30o slope angle, which when gets saturated during heavy rainfall leads to loss of cohesion and the

1. Contour drain to stop the surface run-off from the affected area may be considered.
2. Since the area is very unstable, it is advised not to construct any heavy structure in the area.
The clayey-silt rich thick overburden material resting on moderate slope angle got saturated during heavy rainfall. Further, toe cutting for laying railway track at the foot of slope has destabilized the slope. Subsequently, the saturated slope forming m
