Slope cutting of steep slope for road construction resulted in removal of toe support. Further saturation of loose weathered basalt after rainfall caused loss of cohesion and friction and ultimately resulted in failure of slope under gravity. Fresh scar

Hanging, tilted and fallen trees over the failed plane and choked hill side drainage are observed. Though the overall affected area is small but the size of felled trees indicate that the material might have moved at moderate to high rate.
