The affected area is lithologically weak; comprising weathered sandstone, shale and insitu soil cover, of about 2ΓÇô5 m regolith thickness. Modification of slope for road construction, weathering and daylighting of the exposed slope material led to de

Minor landslide.
New Nkio–Phaikulum slide No.2.
New Nkio–Phaikulum road section.
1. Slope easing and plantation of fibrous rooted plants on the affected slope to create further soil anchoring.
2. Construction and timely maintenance of lined hillside draiNGe system.
3. Clearing of depleted mass from the road side.

The slide occurred due to interplay of several factors: 
1. Destabilization due to toe cutting of slope for road construction.
2. The major geological causes are presence of weathered, fragmented rocks and unconsolidated materials, development of pore pr
