(e) Lack of drainage.

(f) Presence of faults and joints in the strata.

The measures for the correction of landslides include:

(b) Afforestation and growth of vegetation by providing jute fabric and turfing.

(c) Prevention of grazing of animals by fencing.

(d) Provision of check walls, breast walls and toe walls.
