Toe removal of the natural slope during construction of the road resulted in loss of cohesion and failure of overburden material during heavy rainfall under the effect of gravity. Thick vegetation cover with deep rooted plants penetrate the overburden up
Rahman, M. A. and Kaur, J., (2020) Macroscale (1:50,000) Landslide Susceptibility Mapping (LSM) in parts of Toposheet nos. 47F/08 and 47F/12in parts of Raigad, Pune,Satara and Ratnagiri districts, Maharashtra.
Fresh scar indicates that the incidence occurred recently. Hanging roots observed on the crown and along the flanks. There is a Possibility of failure of the remaining material during high rainfall event.

Removal of loose and detached material from crown as well as from the flanks of landslide. 
Clear the hill side drain. 
Proper drainage arrangements for keeping the slope unsaturated. 
Dressing of crown as well as flanks of the slide.
Slope cut along highly weathered basalt for road alignment induced instability of the hill slope during heavy rainfall.
