Removal of slided rockmass to avoid road blockade and drainage blockade. Construction of wall toe drain.
Presence of loose overburden material on the upslope and toe cutting of the slope for road construction, static loading in the crown area by thick and tall vegetation. Main cause is steep slope, jointed and fractured rock mass and oversaturation during r
