The slide is a shallow translational debris slide caused due to Extensive cut slope and toe erosion, triggered by incessant rainfall. The overburden material comprises highly weathered shale and thin in-situ soil cover on top. During continuous rainfall,
Neethusree, K. J. and Suma, C. S, 2020. Macro-Scale (1:50,000) Landslide susceptibility mapping in Toposheet no. 83 C/12 and in parts of Toposheets nos. 83 D/5, 9, 13 & 14 in Dima Hasao, Cachar and Hailakandi districts of Assam, East Jaintia Hills distri
This incidence has occurred as a result of combined effect of multiple factors; slope modification through middle of the slope face for road construction and toe cutting occurred in the sub surface due to Nagadun nala

1. The affected slope comprises highly weathered (W4) shale 2. Anthropogenic activities: Unscientific cutting of slope at steep angle (70?-80?) for road construction 3.Toe erosion by Nagadun Nala 4.Incessant rainfall resulted in over saturation of slope
