It is shocking that that the authorities haven’t been jolted awake even after a senior citizen man was found dead in a water tank at Aarey Milk Colony. The 20-foot-deep tank is used for the cowsheds in the dairy colony, but also poses a threat to children playing nearby.
This paper reported yesterday that after 60-year-old Abdul Shaikh may have been in a drunken stupor at the time of the incident, but the only reason he fell into the tank was because it had been left uncovered and unguarded. At least three people have drowned in the tank till date.
