Construction of breast wall with adequate weepholes at the toe along the entire width of the slide portion. Clearing of debris from the culvert that plugged the water passage way. Construction of lined drainage upslope and provide one or two more pre-cas
High weathering of rocks coupled with toe removal by slope cutting for road widening. These highly weathered rocks form weak slope forming material and get saturated by surface water flow from upslope.
