ABSTRACT
The Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, having a significant section of Himalayan mountain framework, has been encountering numerous landslides and has remained the focal point of study for more than 100 years. Landslide is perceived as landslip, which is a sort of mass wasting including a wide scope of earth landscape developments. This proposition incorporates the evaluation of the landslide that occurred at Kotropi, in the Himachal Himalyan region, in August 2017. The primary setting-off factor for this landslide was the weighty precipitation of the ebb and flow rainstorm season, causing the third reactivation of a Kotropi landslide after 1977 and 1997. Remote sensing data as well as ground trials to look into the nature of this landslide have been taken. Ground measurements through standard Proctor test and direct shear test were performed. These examinations show that dirt was less attached; its shear strength and greatest dry thickness were exceptionally low. Healing measures are proposed to develop a lasting holding divider followed by an extension over the street arrangement territory for channelling the water coming from up-slope zones, ensuring the up-slope terrains with the assistance of vegetation cover to tie up soil; rock-holding fences and controlling the water seepage framework in the summit region.
