The incident occurred on 4th July, 2017. As observed during the preliminary investigation, the slide is a shallow translational soil slide of retrogressive nature which was caused due to extensive slope cut for road construction and triggered by incessan
Chances of further slope failure are evident as the crown area still remains unstable. First incidence: July, 2016 (tentative) according to locals, Reactivated on: 4th July, 2017.

1. Removal of precariously hanging heavy trees at the crown area.
2. Construction of proper surface drainage system in the upslope area for waste water disposal.
3. Construction of reinforced retaining wall maybe considered.
4. Plantation of deep and fib
The following geo-scientific causes were observed:
1. Anthropogenic activities: ill-planned cutting of slope at steep angle (700 to 800) for road construction.
2. Weak slope forming material comprising of thick in-situ soil and highly weathered rock (W4)
