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?

18 months & 3.7 million deaths later, the #LabLeakTheory is being taken seriously. Is there new evidence now? Why did the world wait so long? Why were our reports labelled “fake” & “misleading?” On #GravitasPlus, @palkisu decodes the politics & possibility of a #MadeInChina virus

Big one, hopefully:

2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) via @DRDO_India & DRL

Tests show faster recovery of hospitalised patients, REDUCTION in supplemental OXYGEN dependence. Higher proportion of patients treated with 2-DG showed RTPCR -ve conversion in COVID patients

Overwhelmed hospitals, a desperate run for oxygen & round-the-clock cremations.
The second wave has shaken India, but did it have to be this way? On #GravitasPlus, @palkisu tells you how predictable politics & an unpredictable virus drove India to a calamity.

[WION @WIONews]

#GravitasPlus | The West polluted the environment, then exported its emissions.

Today it preaches climate action. @palkisu says: Saving the earth is a collective responsibility, but shouldn't rich countries pay up before they preach?

'The sting of pearls' is more like string of 'traps' strategy.

@palkisu tells you how China's massive economic project has little to do with 'economy' but control.

WhatsApp forces a new “privacy policy” on India, its biggest market.
Indians start leaving the platform.
WhatsApp runs full-page ads on privacy.
Why would a “FREE” service spend so much money to retain users?
India needs stronger regulation to protect data.
What’s the govt doing?
