This slide is a result of interplay of various factors such as, presence of thick soil cover of >5 m, highly weathered sandstone, ill planned cutting of slope, and reduction of shear strength due to pore water pressure as a result of rain water infiltrat
Lemdur, K. and Kikon, A. (2018); MacroScale (1:50,000) Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in Toposheet nos. 83G/6 and 83G/7 in Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao districts in Asam, Kohima District of NGaland and West MNipur distrcit of MNipur. GSI report of FS 2
Since it is a slope cut failure and caused minor road block, adopting the recommended remedial measure would help in addressing the problem.
