The slope material consists of thick column of highly weathered sandstone (W4). The slide is shallow translational and retrogressive in nature. During incessant rainfall, this weak overburden got saturated and the pore water pressure increased which dimi

┬áIt poses high risk for both the residents in the upslope and down slope area. Similarly, in the vicinity slope cut of more than 10 m is prevalent causing chances for more number of slope cut failures.

1. Poor slope forming material comprising of highly weathered ferruginous sandstone (W4). 2. During rainfall the weak material loses its cohesive strength leading to increase in pore water pressure causing slope failure. 3. Poor draiNGe outlet from the u
