Rock Bolting. 
Wire mesh shotcreting on the slope. Clearance of the hill side drain. 
Proper drainage arrangements for keeping the slope unsaturated.
Removal of loose and detached blocks from the Slopes.
Extensive Slope Cutting for road construction at steep angle and further development of pore water pressure along the joint planes initiated the process of failure and rock fall. Dislodging of basaltic boulders has also taken place
