Rock slide along Pakke-Bameng road due to jointed and weathered schistose rock. Incessant rainfall caused the weak slope forming material unstable, leading to failure.

Removal of the accumulated debris from the toe portion. Construction of retaining wall of appropriate height.
Weak schistosity planes in gneiss which got weathered leading to sliding of friable material; rainwater easily percolates within these fractures causing failure. Also construction of road and removal of toe caused slope instability.
