Disaster has come knocking at Aarey Milk Colony, but the officials are yet to be shaken out of their slumber. A senior citizen, Abdul Shaikh, was on Monday found dead in the tank from which water is drawn for the cowsheds nearby. Most of the tank, 20 ft deep across an area of 100 sq ft, is left uncovered, posing a threat to children playing nearby. Some children even take a swim in it. Water from the tank is solely meant for washing buffaloes and cleaning the cowsheds.
