Toe removal of the natural slope (comprises of highly weathered basalt) during construction of the road resulted in loss of cohesion and failure of overburden material during heavy rainfall under the effect of gravity.
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 the incidence was occurred recently and has a possibility of further slope failure due to remaining unstable material.

Proper drainage arrangements for keeping the slope unsaturated. 
Removal of loose and detached material from crown as well as from flanks of landslide. 
Cleaning of the hill side drain. Construction of suitably designed protection wall.
Toe removal along natural slope during construction of the road and saturation of material during rains resulted in loss of cohesion and failure of overburden material.
