Lemdur, K., Suma, C.S., 2019; Macro - Scale (1:50,000) landslide susceptibility mapping in parts of Toposheets Nos. 83 F/1, 2, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 83 B/9, 13 in Karbi Anglong, Sonitpur, Nagaon and Golaghat districts of Assam.
Lithology in this area predominantly consists of unconsolidated friable sandstone which is highly susceptible to slope failure. The landslide is located at an isolated place and hence poses no threat to life or property.
