1. Slope easing at the crown area 2. Remove accumulated debris and RCC retaining wall with sufficient weep holes may be constructed at the toe of the slope/ Covering the vulnerable slope by geosynthetic/ geotextile
1.The affected slope comprises highly friable sandstone and siltstone 2. Soil quarry 3. Due to incessant rainfall, pore water pressure of the material reduced leading to loss of cohesion
