Weak slope forming material, anthropogenic activities like slope modification for road construction, decrease in shear strength due to oversaturation are some of the factors that contributed to this failure.

The slide affected the road for a stretch of about 32 m.  This road section i.e KepreΓÇôTongikroΓÇôMongjang has high concentration of slope cut failures.

Kepre Tongikro Mongjang road section.
1. Timely maintenance of lined hillside draiNGe system.
2. Removal of precariously rooted trees to reduce the static loading.

1. Destabilization of slope due to slope cutting for road construction.
2. Weak slope forming material comprising mainly of highly weathered, loosely packed, friable, medium grained sandstone with thin insitu soil cover.
3. Overburden thickness of 2ΓÇ
