#Life is a big size screen but most gets their eyes glued to those few pixels, not seeing the bigger picture, not realising how much life has to offer.
79% of milk samples in Maharashtra failed purity tests. 🥛⚠️
That was enough for IAS Tukaram Mundhe to launch one of the state's biggest crackdowns on milk adulteration.🥛
In just 30 days, the FDA conducted 360 raids, filed 235 FIRs, arrested 350 adulterators, and sealed 274 illegal units.
Even Mumbai's iconic K Rustom & Co. faced action over serious quality and hygiene violations.
Transferred 25 times in 21 years, Mundhe continues to put public health above pressure and politics.
Because every glass of milk should nourish, not harm.
Do we need more such officers in every state? Tell us in the comments.

#DidYouKnow Nandankanan, Bhubaneswar, is the only zoo in India (and perhaps the world) where two wild tigers voluntarily jumped into its enclosures.
A wild tigress in 1967 and a wild male tiger in 2013.
Truly an extraordinary story. 👇
In 1967, a wild tigress named Kanan leapt into the zoo enclosure after being drawn to a captive male tiger, Pradeep. She gave up her freedom, but Pradeep never accepted her as he already had a companion, Sikha. Kanan never accepted another mate and lived out her life at Nandankanan until 1978.
Then, in 2013, history echoed itself. A wild male tiger jumped into the zoo. After a month, it scaled an 18-foot enclosure wall and escaped…but instead of returning to the wild, it came back to the safari area. It was brought back into the enclosure and remained at Nandankanan until its passing in 2024.
Two wild tigers. Two extraordinary stories. One remarkable place.

We thank India for the emergency fuel support, a reminder that relationships are tested in crisis, not comfort. Let us not forget those who stood by us when it mattered.
