The slide is a shallow translational debris slide, triggered due to Extensive cut slope for road and incessant rainfall. The slope forming material comprises weathered sandstone and shale (Surma Group). The affected slope exhibits retrogressive nature. T

1. Clear off the debris from the toe area 2. Slope easing at the crown portion to achieve a more stable slope 3. Construction of RCC retaining wall with sufficient weep holes at the toe of the slope, accompanied by a few meter buffer zones. 4. Hill side
1. Cutting of the slope at critical angle for road construction 2. Weak overburden of highly weathered (sandstone and shale) and jointed rock are the main causative factors 3. Reduction of strength on over-saturation due to incessant rainfall.
