For proper draining of surface runoff, choked hill side lined drains should be cleared and maintained, especially during monsoon season.
1. Anthropogenic activities: Illplanned cutting of slope for road construction.
2. Development of local hydrostatic pressure and reduction of shear strength on oversaturation of weak overburden material due to rainfall.
