On 16th August 2018, a debris flow occurred near Kurumala along a low dissected moderately steep slope.  Heavy rain fall resulted in increased pore water pressure and decreased shear strength of the clay rich overburden material due to infiltration of wa
Clay rich soil along the slide zone.

Removal of debris material from the slide zone and flow path, easing of slope by benching,  no settlement should be allowed in the near vicinity of the flow path, anthropogenic activities blocking the flow path/natural channel should not be done.
Heavy rain fall resulted in increased pore water pressure and decreased shear strength of the clay rich overburden material due to infiltration of water along the slope. Intense surface run off carried the slided debris downslope, resulting in huge debri
