1. Slope easing of the crown area/removal of extending branches from the crown area to avoid load pressure 2.Retaining wall with sufficient weep holes
1. Extensive cut slope 2. Due to incessant rainfall, the weak and loose overburden material (highly weathered sandstone) in the crown area compared to the lower layer loses its cohesiveness leading to slope failure.
