PUNE: The Padkai scheme of cultivation on hillsides, which geologists upheld as a prime cause for the landslide in Malin that killed 151 people on July 30, 2014, has been revived in Ambegaon, Khed, and Junnar tehsils.
Padkai is a tribal practice of creating small beds by cutting into, scooping out and flattening of the hillsides for paddy plantation.
