Saturation of weathered material during rainfall cause increase in pore pressure and reduced friction and strength and resulted in downhill movement of material.
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.
Landslide is almost 160m above and 500m away from the road level. Possibility of failure of the remaining material during high rainfall event.

Proper drainage arrangements for keeping the slope unsaturated. Plantation of shallow rooted grasses/plants with dense surface mat of fine roots
Super saturation of overburden during heavy rainfall increases pore pressure and resulted in slope failure.
