Unscientific approach to cutting of slope for road construction without considering the rock disposition and structures is the chief causative factor that led to a rock slide. This part of the study area (SE of TS No. 83 G/7) displays a rugged and youthf

Remedial measure should be implemented as jointed and moderately weathered rock mass might led to recurrent rock falls and slides.
