Garmal-Gadabangunda road
 Clear the chocked hillside drainage channel. Removal of loose rock blocks and uprooted plants lying over the slope.
Reprofiling of slopes.
Construction of suitably designed retention wall.
Decrease the water content or pore pressure of the rock or soil
Preparatory Factors: The spheroidal weathering of basalt leads to the loosing of rock strength.
Presence of a thin layer of overburden over the slope.
Presence of jointed rock mass. Accelerating Factors: Oversaturation due to heavy rainfall reducing the
