Complex (planar failure and topple i.e. initial planar failure along the vulnerable joint plane followed by toppling at the crown & flanks during subsequent reactivation/s).
Pfiitsero-Sakraba-Phek road
Since a significantly large volume of the slide debris still exists upslope of the lower road bench, the same is anticipated to flow down in the near future under adverse hydrological conditions further affecting the lower road bench.
The upper road bench (Pfiitsero-Sakraba-Phek road) is seen to be aligned over bedrock and looks stable. However, since the crown of the slide meets the valleyside edge of the road bench, further hillside shifting of the same may be carried out for safety
