Hill slope composed of insitu soil (>0.5m) underlain by moderately weathered basalt has been cut for road alignment. Heavy rainfall induced pore pressure of loose material and reduced its strength resulted in slope failure.

Fresh scar indicates that the incidence occurred recently. Debris contains a considerable amount of boulders which have been detached from moderately weathered basalt. There is a possibility of further failure during monsoon which can be mitigated by pre
