The study area is lithologically weak which comprises of highly weathered sandstone. Cutting of slope for road construction activities on natural slopes disturbed the angle of repose of the material, weak slope forming material developed local hydrostati

1. Retaining wall to be constructed at the toe of the slope.
2. Moderation of the steep slope by benching above the retaining wall.
3. Flexible breast wall should be constructed above the benches.
4. Dressing of the crown portion.
Excavation or cutting of toe for road construction activities on natural slopes, saturation of clayey-silt rich overburden material and seepage of water along the weak planes within the rock mass during incessant rainfall lead to failure.
