The affected site is composed of highly weathered sandstone with thin clay horizon and insitu soil cover. Illplanned cutting of slope beyond the critical angle destabilized the slope.  Furthermore, heavy downpour led to oversaturation of slope forming ma

Minor landslide.
Darangibra–Kepre slide No.1
Darangibra–Kepre road section.
1. Slope easing and removal of precariously hanging trees at the crown portion to reduce the overburden load.
2. Construction of lined hillside draiNGe.

1. Excavation or toe cutting of slope for road construction.
2. Reduction of shear strength on oversaturation of thick column of highly weathered overburden material of about 0.5ΓÇô2m thickness during incessant rainfall.
