1. Choked hill side lined drains should be cleared and maintained, especially during monsoon season.
2. Construction of retaining wall at the toe of the slope.

1. Weak slope forming material: highly weathered sandstone and shale with thin insitu soil cover
2. Illplanned cutting of slope for road construction.
3. Development of local hydrostatic pressure and reduction of shear strength on oversaturation of weak
