The study area is lithologically weak which comprises of thick overburden material. Cutting of slope for road construction activities on natural slopes and due over saturation of weak overburden material during incessant rainfall are the main causative f
Chasie M. &  Theophilus P.K., 2017: Updation of existing landslide inventory of North Eastern region based on the new incidences as and when occurs during the period, Unpubl. GSI progress report for FS 2016-65
Numerous small fresh landslide scars are seen along this Haflong – Gunjung road section road section. Reactivated on May 2016

1. Easing of the slope by benching.
2. Channeling of surface run off away from the affected slope by channelizing the outlet water through lateral drain near the toe of the slide.
3. Removal of precariously hanging trees to reduce the static loading at t
Major causative factors leading to slope failures are:
1. Excavation or cutting of toe for road construction activities on natural slopes.
2. Thick section of weak overburden material.
3. Incessant rainfall.
