The rock is haphazardly jointed with close spaced joints which allows percolation and circulation of rain water in the rock mass and may result in slope failure. Besides, the basalt is vesicular in nature which is very prone to hasty weathering. So prope

Neral-Matheran Ghat road
Clear hill side drain. Removal of loosened blocks and uprooted trees lying over the slope.
Proper drainage arrangement by diverting the surface runoff above the slope.
Preparatory Factors: The vesicular basalts observed in this spot are highly vulnerable to weathering. Accelerating Factors:  Oversaturation of weathered earth materials due to high precipitation reduces the cohesive strength of rocks.
Root penetration ob
