Excavation or cutting of toe for road construction activities on natural slopes disturbed the angle of repose of the material. Heavy downpour resulted in over-saturation of slope forming material which led to development of local hydrostatic pressure in

1. Dressing of the slope/ removal of precariously hanging trees and debris 2. Construction of retaining wall of considerable height at the toe portion of the slope cut maybe considered 3. Maintenance of hill side lined drainage.
1. The affected slope comprises highly friable sandstone, clay and conglomerate 2.Unscientific slope modification for road construction 3.Over-saturation of weak slope forming material due to rainfall
