This suggests that there is a problem with the stability of the hill slopes in these areas. The two courses of action address different aspects of this problem.<\/p>\n<p>Course of action I proposes to deploy pilot engines before the movement of passenger trains in the hilly areas. This would allow the train to be warned of any landslides that may occur ahead, and to take evasive action if necessary. This would help to prevent derailments caused by landslides.<\/p>\n<p>Course of action II proposes to strengthen the hill slopes by putting iron meshes so that the loose boulders do not fall on the track.
