Removal of the accumulated debris. Construction of breast wall with adequate weep holes. In addition, it is recommended to provide lined hillside drainage system along with chute drain on the downslope or valley side of the road.
Reduction of strength on saturation by seepage from rainfall and excavation work by the locals. The material below the road is largely loose unconsolidated weathered gneiss. The rock exposed below the road is weathered and friable in nature which is susc
