This paper had recently reported how a 41-year-old died after inhaling noxious fumes emanating from rotting beef in a container lying untouched for four years. Post that report, it was learnt that 300 such disputed containers some containing perishable food items were lying in a container yard at Uran, posing a huge health risk to the populace.

To rewind to the report, on July 27, 41-year-old Madan Patil, an electrician at the container terminal for 10 years, was called in at the section handled by AllCargo Logistics, to restore power supply to two refrigerated containers. The containers, which contained buffalo meat, had been lying at the terminal since 2011.
