Geologically, the affected site is comprised of highly weathered and friable siltstone and shale overlain by thin layer of in-situ soil cover. Slope excavation beyond the critical angle and toe removal of natural slope having weak slope forming material

1. Removal of debris from the slope 2. Easing of the slope by benching 3. Trimming of branches or removal of heavy vegetation cover from the affected slope area which can potentially slide down 4. Covering the vulnerable slope by geosynthetics/ geotextil
1.The affected slope comprises highly friable siltstone interbedded with thin layers of shale 2. The rocks are highly fractured and folded 3. Soil quarry 4. Reduction of shear strength due to over saturation during heavy rainfall.
