Saturation of loose weathered basalt after heavy rainfall caused loss of cohesion and friction and ultimately resulted in failure of slope under gravity. Fresh scars and absence of vegetation over the failed plane indicate the incidence might have occurr

Hanging and felled rees over the failed plane have been observed. Steep up-slopes are covered with deep rooted trees.

Removal of loose and detached material. 
Construction of suitably designed retaining wall with weep holes. Construction of hill side drainage. Removal of uprooted trees from failed surface.
 Proper channelization of drainage/ surface run off to avoid the
Highly weathered material got saturated during the heavy rainfall and moved down hill slopes under the effect of gravity.
