As observed during the preliminary investigation, the slide is a shallow translational soil slide of retrogressive nature which was caused due to extensive slope cut for road construction and triggered by incessant rainfall. Due to incessant rainfall the
Chances of further slope failure are evident as the crown area still remains unstable especially during monsoon season. An RCC building and bathroom are at risk. The residents of that building have already begun evacuation process. The incident occurred

1. Removal of precariously hanging tall trees (exerts more pressure on the affected slope due to its weight).
2. Construction of breast wall with sufficient weep holes/ reinforced retaining wall of suitable design maybe considered to sustain the weight o
The following geo-scientific causes were observed:
1. Anthropogenic activities: ill-planned cutting of slope at steep angle (700-800) for road construction.
2. Weak slope forming material (thick in-situ soil cover with highly weathered migmatite/banded g
