No casualties were reported. As observed, it is a shallow translational debris slide caused due to toe-slope excavation for house construction, triggered by incessant rainfall. Other important causative factors include poor slope forming material compris
On the right side of the slide a huge barren rock surface (granite gneiss) is exposed which provides stability to those in the upslope area. The slide occurred around 2:30 PM on 13th June, 2017.

1. Removal of remaining bamboo trees from the slope which is still vulnerable for failure.
2. Construction of toe retaining wall on the down slope area with proper foundation and sufficient weep holes.
3. Construction of proper drainage system for waste
The following geo-scientific causes were observed:
1. Anthropogenic activities: Unplanned cutting of slope (Extensive slope cut) and    unplanned construction of boundary wall over unstable slope.
2. Poor slope forming material (highly weathered granite
