This is a slope cut induced natural slide occurred along a steep hill slope comprising Moderately weathered basalt overlain by highly weathered basalt. During the heavy rainfall the interface between the two types of weathered basalts (road ward dipping)

Ambet-Nandavi road section
Construction of suitably designed protection wall with weep holes. Construction of hill side drainage.
Proper drainage alignment for surface or subsurface runoff. 
Removal of protruding material from failed surface.
The interface between the moderately weathered basalt and 4-5m thick highly weathered basalt act as a lubricated surface during rains and increases instability of hill slope. In addition improper slope cutting for road alignment also enhances the possibi
