The study area is lithologically weak which comprises of thick section of highly weathered sandstone. On cutting of toe for road construction activities in natural slopes disturbed the angle of repose of the material, and over saturated during heavy rain

1. Channeling of surface drainage system.
2. Retaining wall may be constructed at the toe of the slope cut.
Cutting of toe for road construction activities in natural slopes that is composed of in-situ soil and reduction of strength on over saturation led to slope failure.
