Rock slide documented along Pachhi- Chayang Tajo road section, caused due to the high degree of weathering of rocks intense fracturing of the rocks resulting in the reduction of shear strength due to saturation of the rock mass
Mohanty, A., and Joshi, K., 2021: Remote sensing based macro scale (1:50,000) landslide susceptibility mapping in toposheets 82D/12, D/15, D/16, 82H/3, H/4, H/6, H/7, H/10, 83A/1, A/5, A/6, A/9, A/10, A/13, A/14 and 83E/1 covering parts of Tawang, West K

Pachi-Chayang Tajo road section
Removal of loose materials from the slope. Construction of breast wall with sufficient weep holes at the toe of the landslide. Provision of lined toe drain all along the toe of slide with proper gradient away from the toe of slide
Highly weathered gneiss with about 1m thick overburden on the upslope of the road is observed. Preponderance of steeply dipping joints and steep cutting of slope thereby daylighting the vulnerable joints towards the road. Reduction of shear strength due
