The study area is lithologically weak which comprises of highly weathered sandstone. Cutting of slope for road construction activities on natural slopes and pore water pressure development along the weak planes due to seepage of water within the weathere

Mitigation measures should be implemented at the earliest as the slide is posing a threat to the road. Similarly, several fresh slope failures were observed along this road section. Landslide initiated on 22/05/2016

1. Removal of debris from the slope, removal of precariously hanging rock fragments/boulders.
2. Toe support for the day-lighted bedrock through construction of strong concrete retaining walls with provision of drain pipes. 
3. Construction of lined hill
Excavation or cutting of toe for road construction activities on natural slopes and seepage of water along the weak planes within the fragmented rocks during incessant rainfall led to slope failure.
