This is talking about the embankment roads beside a canal. The width of formation in these cases is the top of the embankment. The berm is used to protect the bank. The minimum width is kept 1.5m.

Maybe it's because berm is exclusive of formation width.

Agree @Nsisisn.

But how is this possible? Because there are two lanes. So 6 m. And only remain at 0.6 m.

So how 1.5m of berms can be provided?

@Ayush.

The lateral distance provided from the toe end of the embankment to the inner top edge of side drains is called as a berm.

Berm is the level space made up of compacted soil, which separates the two areas.
