As observed it is a shallow translational debris slide caused due to slope cut, triggered by incessant rainfall. Other causative factors include poor slope forming material comprising of highly weathered granite gneiss and in-situ soil. Due to continuous
Though toe supporting wall is present, the slope is modified at a steep angle (700 -800) with heavy structures built on the unstable slope. Along this road there are other few slope cut failures triggered due to incessant rainfall. The incident took plac

1. Immediate measure: Covering the affected slope with a plastic sheet to prevent further slide as it is still prone to slope failure if rainfall persists.
2. Benching of the slope may be implemented. 
3. Construction of proper drainage system for waste
The following geo-scientific causes were observed –
1. Anthropogenic activities: Unplanned cutting of slope (Extensive slope cut) and unplanned construction of boundary wall over unstable slope.
2. Poor slope forming material (highly weathered granite
