He's Tukaram Mundhe, a 2005-batch IAS from Maharashtra.
Over the last few weeks, you might have heard his name. That is because he was recently appointed Commissioner of State’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since taking charge, the FDA has been on an absolute warpath, raiding illegal, fake, synthetic, and adulterated products. From synthetic milk networks and adulterated paneer to illegal gutkha and unhygienic eateries, nothing has escaped his radar.
Mundhe has made it clear that even the most famous names will not get a free pass. His department shocked Mumbai by suspending the food licenses of iconic establishments, such as the 73-year-old Marine Drive ice cream parlor K. Rustom & Co., alongside famous eateries like Shalimar Hospitality, Noor Mohammadi Hotel, and Rahmaniya Restaurant, after surprise inspections uncovered severe hygiene violations, including live pests and expired ingredients.
Such is the fear of his crackdowns that, just two days ago, dairy farmers were caught on video spilling hundreds of liters of synthetic milk after rumors of an impending FDA raid spread.
This is his 25th transfer in a 21-year career, a testament to his refusal to bend to political pressure. It makes you wonder: if just one IAS officer can bring about so much change, where would our country be if every bureaucrat were as uncompromising and proactive as him?
Before you start ranting “poor quality, scam” etc over the Missing Link closure you need to know the facts
1)Lonavala received a whopping 670 mm of rainfall in 24 hours on 6th July
2) The previous highest ever recorded rainfall in 24 hours was 432mm
Whenever you design any such project you will consider past extremes and arrive at a certain WCS to incorporate your factors of safety
In such extreme conditions even the WCS planning proves inadequate
So stop the unnecessary rant just because you hate Modi-Fadnavis
The engineers working on this project have no political allegiance - the only believe in their knowledge
Hardeep Puri said that ethanol is used in racing cars as well to defend his stand on E20. This is the Petroleum Minister's understanding of the issue. What can one even say to that!
First, race cars are specifically engineered to run on ethanol; therefore, it does not harm them. This is not the same as forcing E20 into regular cars that are not engineered to handle it. In non-compliant vehicles, ethanol will aggressively degrade standard rubber gaskets, plastic parts, and aluminum components over time.
Second, a racing engine is built to survive for only a few hundred miles before being stripped down and rebuilt by professional mechanics, who easily manage any fuel-induced wear. An average citizen, however, needs their car to last for over a decade. Running non-compliant engines on E20 will certainly not help achieve that.
Third, race teams use ethanol solely for a performance boost due to its high octane rating, not for fuel economy. For regular people, however, fuel economy matters immensely.
Italy is also a democracy like India. Millions don't like and didn't vote PM Meloni in Italy.
Yet, when Trump recently made a silly remark about Meloni "begging to take pics with him", the whole country, including opposition, have stood behind her.
Nobody is mocking her using Trump's comments. Nobody is saying she has made Italy look weak. None in Italy is taking the side of Trump mocking their PM for some silly political gratification.
A Government for the middle class…
It is the NDA Government’s privilege to be working towards fulfilling the aspirations of our middle class. They have contributed to nation-building in countless ways.
Over the last decade, governance has increasingly focused on improving the quality of life of ordinary citizens. Our efforts are about easier access to opportunities, better infrastructure, improved public services, affordable healthcare, quality education, cleaner cities and reduced burdens in everyday life.

Mrinal Pande's forefathers used to vote for Aurangzeb every year.
Back then, elections were apparently held annually, unlike "dictator" Modi, who cruelly allows them only once every five years.
Aurangzeb won 49 consecutive terms without a single EVM complaint because he was transparent and used paper ballots.
The Chief Election Commissioner was appointed by Rajput kings, and opposition leaders enjoyed complete freedom.
Truly the golden age of democracy.
The Soros gang wanted to embarrass the Indian prime minister in a foreign land. One Indian who is Christian by birth shut everyone's mouth; he was so effective that the planted journalist ran away in shame. My prime minister doesn't need to respond to such presstitutes; it's below his dignity. There are enough CB George in India to take on our ideological enemies, both inside the country and worldwide. United we stand divided we fall.
Norway's biggest paper just ran a cartoon of PM Modi as a snake charmer, calling him 'a sneaky and slightly annoying man.'
This isn't journalism. it's colonial-era racism dressed up as commentary. They can't stomach India's rise, so they reach for the same tired stereotypes their grandparents used.
The mask slips every time.
👩Lets Remove Modi
👨Why ?
👩Because fuel prices are high
👨So whom we will replace Modi with ?
👩Rahul Gandhi led congress
👨hmm... Will they reduce fuel prices ?? Their states r selling more expensive fuel vis-vis BJP ruled states
👩You bloody hate mongering Sanghi ! Blocked
-Apart from WB, elections are also happening in Tamil Nadu and Kerala
-BJP has never won elections in Tamil Nadu and Kerala
-BJP wants to win these states as well, just like it wants to win WB
-But there are no extra security forces deployed in Tamil Nadu and Kerala like in WB
Why so?
If security forces were meant to manipulate elections, shouldn’t BJP have deployed the same number of forces in Tamil Nadu and Kerala as well?
But who cares about logic….

Hindu women were blackmailed, fed beef, coerced to convert, and sexually assaulted by their Muslim team leads. For four years. Their complaints were ignored. The women worked in @TCS, that just reported a revenue of 2.6 lac crores.
TCS is yet to issue a statement or an apology.
कुछ बहुत खतरनाक घट रहा है जिसे अभी हम जान भले ही नहीं पा रहे है मगर समझ जरूर रहे है...
क्या लग रहा है कि ये जो NIA ने अमेरिकी CIA एजेंट मैथ्यू वैंनडाइक की लंगड़ाते घिसटाते हुए दो कंधों पर टांगते हुए जो वीडियो लीक की है , क्या विदेश मंत्रालय मूर्ख है जो ऐसे वीडियो लीक होने देगा जो दो देशों की शांति सुरक्षा को खतरे में डाल दे ???
अंतर्राष्ट्रीय राजनीति में कई बार बाते कही नहीं जाती उन्हें खास संदेशों से समझाकर विदेशी शत्रु को उसकी औकात बताई जाती है...
अमेरिकी CIA एजेंट मैथ्यू वैंनडायिक की दो कंधों पर लंगड़ाते हुए और फिर व्हील चेयर पर बैठाते हुए इसी तरह की गुप्त भाषा है जो भारत और अमेरिका के बीच फिलहाल चल रही है...और भारत के हाथ कुछ ऐसा जरूर लगा है जिसमें उसे पाकिस्तान के कंधे के सहारे जंग की आहट सुनाई दी है... ट्रंप ने ऐसे ही पाकिस्तान को नहीं चुना और चीन के प्रति भी ट्रंप का व्यवहार बहुत अलग है...सवाल उठता है कि क्या ट्रंप पाकिस्तान और चीन के कंधे पर बंदूक रखकर भारत को रक्तरंजित करने जा रहा है ???
तो इसका जवाब हां भी हो सकता है क्योंकि जिस हिसाब से ईरान ने भारत के जहाजों को बिना रोक टोक भारत में जाने की छूट दी थी उसने विश्व में भारत के स्तर और औकात को दुनिया के सामने बहुत ऊंचा कर दिया है...
NIA को सबूत मिले है कि अमेरिकी CIA एजेंट मैथ्यू वैनडायिक AK-47 रायफलों से लैस अज्ञात आतंकवादियों के संपर्क में था...NIA की पूछताछ में मैथ्यू वैनडाइक ने अपने CIA एजेंट न होना बताते हुए कहा कि उसने सीआईए में भर्ती होने के लिए हिस्सा लिया था मगर लाई डिटेक्टर टेस्ट में घबराहट के कारण उसे बाहर कर दिया गया था...मगर सब जानते है कि ये अमेरिकी सरकार एसेट्स ही है और वो झूठ बोल रहा है क्योंकि जहां अमेरिकी सरकार सीधे कदम नहीं रखती है वहां पर वह सीआईए एजेंट के एसेट्स के रूप में ही षडयंत्र रचती है...
भारतीय सरकार ने जब मैथ्यू के विषय में अमेरिकी सरकार से पूछा तो अमेरिकी दूतावास के प्रवक्ता ने कहा कि "हम स्थिति से अवगत हैं मगर गोपनीयता कारणों से हम अमेरिकी नागरिकों से जुड़े मामलों पर टिप्पणी नहीं कर सकते"...यह स्पष्ट नहीं है कि ये विदेशी नागरिक मिजोरम में किस उद्देश्य से गए थे ???
अमेरिकी दूतावास के बयान के बाद जब मैथ्यू से पुनः पूछताछ हुई फिर कुछ ऐसा हासिल हुआ जिसने सरकार को चौंका दिया और शायद तभी सभी फोर्सेस की छुट्टियां रद्द कर दी गई...
यह तो स्पष्ट था कि अमेरिका भारत को शुरू से ऐसी ही किसी जंग में उलझा कर कमजोर करना चाहता था...
भविष्य के गर्भ में क्या छुपा है ये तो कोई नहीं जानता मगर ये तय है कि ये वक्त सरकार के साथ मजबूती से खड़े रहने का है... मधु किश्वर के ऐसे बयान अभी आने कोई छोटी मोटी घटना नहीं है...
खैर बाकियों का तो पता नहीं मगर मुझे अपने राष्ट्र के प्रधानसेवक आदरणीय श्री Narendra Modi जी पर पूरा भरोसा है...लंगड़ाते हुए अपने एजेंट को देखकर अमेरिका की जो सुलगी होगी , उसकी कल्पना करके मुझे तो अत्यंत आनंद की अनुभति मिल रही है...और आपको ???
TCS Must Be Held Responsible
Govt and Judiciary must take it seriously and make sure TCS top management held responsible and 1000cr financial penalty for being reluctant to act against the accused.
It will be loud and clear message to all the corporates
#BREAKING: Israel for the first time in history comes out in public to call Pakistan a terrorist state. This is a major foreign policy shift by Israel. Israeli Foreign Minister @gidonsaar in a statement on social media hitting out at Pak Defence Minister Khawaja Asif.
The lip balm on the right with 17g written is made in India and the one on left is from UK
The ingredients of these are very different
UK:
petrolatum, almond oil, a bit of rose oil
India:
petrolatum + fragrance + linalool + colour
same brand, different products, and the one made in India itched and wasn’t moisturising enough
a lot of “global” products are quietly different depending on where you buy them
Hi @EconomicTimes scared to say that the ‘six team leaders’ arrested in this case were named Asif Ansari, Shafi Sheikh, Shah Rukh Qureshi, Raza Memon and Tausif Attar and ALL the victims were Hindu women?
An old couple approached the Allahabad HC seeking maintenance from their daughter-in-law, stating that they were aged, illiterate, and financially dependent on their son during his lifetime.
After their son died in 2021, they were left without any means of sustenance. It was argued that all service-related and retiral benefits went to the wife, who is also a constable in the UP Police, and therefore should maintain them.
The court rejected their plea as per the law. A daughter-in-law is not required to maintain her deceased husband’s parents, even if she receives all the benefits and pension.
On the other hand, if a husband dies, the wife can claim maintenance from her in-laws. Even if she remarries, she can still claim her share in the ancestral property from the father-in-law.
Why are we running a Kalyug society with Satyug rules?
