The litho-unit of the affected area includes highly friable shale and siltstone. Excavation and toe cutting further weakened and destabilized the slope. Subsequently, on heavy downpour, the saturated overburden resting on unstable slope failed when shear

1.      Moderation of slope gradient may be considered 2. Removal of precariously hanging trees at the crown portion to shed the static load 3.Construction of reinforced concrete retaining wall may be constructed on the down-slope of the road 4.Cons
1. The affected slope comprises highly friable shale and siltstone. 2. Unscientific slope modification for road construction. 3. Over-saturation of weak slope forming material due to rainfall.
