2014 Malin landslide
On 30 July 2014, a landslide occurred in the village of Malin in the Ambegaon taluka of the Pune district in Maharashtra, India. The landslide, which hit early in the morning while residents were asleep, was believed to have been caused by a burst of heavy rainfall, and killed at least 151 people.〔 The landslide was first noticed by a bus driver who drove by the area and saw that the village had been overrun with mud and earth. In addition to those dead, more than 160 people, and possibly up to 200,〔 were believed to have been buried in the landslide in 44 separate houses. Rains continued after the landslide making rescue efforts difficult.
==Cause==
The landslides were caused by heavy rainfall that had begun the previous day, with the village receiving of rain on 29 July and the downpour continuing throughout the following day. The environmental destruction that resulted in the landslide is believed to have had more than one cause. Major cause was negligence of geological facts before any developmental process.〔Landslide〕 Another cause cited as contributing to the landslide was deforestation in the area.〔 One reason was changing agricultural practices villagers had recently shifted from cultivation of rice and finger millet to wheat, which required levelling of steep areas, which contributed to instability of the hills. Also the construction of the nearby Dimbhe Dam ten years ago was considered as a possible reason. The instability of the hillsides was due to the construction activities, which are often done without careful analysis of environmental consequences. Stone quarrying, among other types of construction, was specifically blamed by Sumaira Abdulali of the Awaaz Foundation, for the instability of the hillside.
