Easing of the slope may be carried out and removal of precariously resting boulders upslope of the crown is recommended. Heavy rains will erode the base resulting in toppling of these boulders which will endanger houses located downslope of the road.
Toe was removed during widening of the road about 5 years back leaving a vertical cut with no lateral support. Heavy rainfall resulted in reduction of strength due to saturation and subsequent failure.
