A debris flow occurred in  Anachantha, Seethathodu on 15th August 2018 due to continued heavy rainfall in the area. At source region,  increased pore water pressure and decreased shear strength of the overburden material resulted in  slope failure which
Chances of retrogression of slide  towards down-slope portion of the road. Agricultural activity (LHP, banana) along the source region of the debris flow may result in recurrence of similar event during heavy downpour in future.

Unstable debris material on the upslope as well as along the slide course needs to be removed. Concrete breast wall may be constructed down-slope of the road. Along the cut slope portion near the road, construction of gabion wall is suggested.
Continuous heavy rainfall for past 3 days  increased pore water pressure and decreased shear strength of the overburden material resulting in  slope failure, heavy discharge of run-off water along with debris material down slope. For the widening of road
