The slope forming material is dominantly composed of weak lithology. During rainfall, oversaturation of weak slope material resulted in temporary increase in pore water pressure and reduce the shear strength of the material. Slope modification with bench
Neethusree, K. J. and Suma, C. S, 2020. Macro-Scale (1:50,000) Landslide susceptibility mapping in Toposheet no. 83 C/12 and in parts of Toposheets nos. 83 D/5, 9, 13 & 14 in Dima Hasao, Cachar and Hailakandi districts of Assam, East Jaintia Hills distri
As it is situated away from settlement and railway line, it has not affected any infra-structure or lives.

1. Chute drain should be constructed to channelize the surface water flowing down the landslide affected area 2. Covering the vulnerable slope by geo-synthetics/ geotextiles during rainy season 3. Slope modification with benches supported by Gabion wall.
1. Over-saturation of weak slope forming material due to rainfall 2. Effect of a major regional fold (axial trace of syn-form) 3. Gully erosion played a significant role in initiating this landslide.
