Debris slide documented along Tura-Williamnagar Road, near Oragitok, caused by due weak weathered nature of the slope forming material and toe cutting of the slope for road construction. Incessant rainfall led to super-saturation of soil which increased

Removal of debris on the slope and construction of breast wall with adequate weepholes at the toe and construction of lined hillside drainage to prevent further toe erosion.
Highly weathered gneiss loose, steep slope cutting and aggravated by toe erosion, super-saturation of soil which increased the hydrostatic pressure.
