Rock slide documented along Pachhi- Pakke road section, caused due to the high degree of weathering of rocks intense fracturing of the rocks resulting in the reduction of the rock strength.

Removal of detached boulders from the slope in planned way, application of wiremesh and shotcrete on the exposed slope surface and construction of 2-3 m high retaining wall with adequate number of weep holes, to give toe support of the slope. Provision o
Highly weathered and fractured gneiss with locally developed schistosity is observed. The schistosity planes appear to the fissility plane for planar failure due to oversaturation with surface and subsurface water flow.
