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?
"Treat your employees as human." 💯
At a Mr DIY store in Infiniti Mall, Malad, an ELDERLY employee was forced to stand for hours without even a plastic chair to sit on.
This happens in almost every mall in INDIA, where employees are treated inhumanely.
I used Colgate, a fluoride-based toothpaste, twice a day, every day since I was a child.
Little did I realize that Fluoride competes with iodine at thyroid receptor sites. Same receptors and direct competition. Your thyroid needs iodine to produce T3 and T4. Fluoride blocks the door.
You're delivering a thyroid-suppressing chemical through the most absorbent tissue in your body. Twice daily. And your dentist told you it was essential.
Hydroxyapatite toothpaste remineralizes teeth without touching your endocrine system. Been around for decades.
Japan uses it as standard.
Every crisis gave India a push.
Femine, food shortage led to Green Revolution in 1960s
Covid lockdown boosted our UPI usage to 28 lac Crore per month
China’s Galwan misadventure led to India investing $ 20 Billion in Semiconductor manufacturing
Let me assure you, this war & fuel/LPG shortage will make us even stronger a nation. I have faith in India, you should have it too! 🇮🇳
I’m completely stranded at Moscow airport… alone, helpless, and running out of hope.
No one from @makemytripcare or @etihad is answering my desperate messages.
Russia doesn’t accept Visa or Mastercard anymore.
I have ZERO cash left. Not even for food or water.
The Etihad ground staff is avoiding me more than my ex ever did — literally turning their faces away and telling me “just call customer care”… which has been busy for hours. I’m standing here like a beggar in my own nightmare.
I don’t know how I’m going to get home. I’m scared. I feel abandoned by the very companies I trusted with my journey. My family is waiting and I can’t even tell them I’m safe.
Please… if anyone from Etihad, MakeMyTrip, or even the Indian embassy sees this — HELP ME.
And if you’re reading this, just one RT could save me. I’m begging.

Have a break but don’t have a KitKat because
I compared a KitKat sold in Australia with one sold in India, and the numbers are sadly not surprising.
The Australian version contains:
-Milk solids – 20%
-Cocoa – 22%
-Added sugar – 21.7g
The Indian version contains:
-Milk solids – 16.1%
-Cocoa – 4.5%
-Added sugar – 28.9g
Indians are getting a significantly inferior version compared to Kit-Kat abroad. This is not just limited to the Kit-Kat but most packaged food items like Cerelac, Lays etc.
This is because of 3 reasons.
1.India is a price-sensitive country, and as a result companies put low quality ingredients. But costing alone doesn’t explain the full picture.
2.Our regulations are weak and they don’t prevent companies from giving us inferior products.
3.We as consumers do not question what we’re being served. That is exactly why I started Label Padhega India. Because unless we read and ask, nothing changes.
Companies rarely change because they feel guilty. Companies change if consumers unite and ask for it.
So it’s our responsibility, together, to speak up and make sure our voices are heard.
Let’s Make India Healthy Again.
यदि आप सेना की अग्निपथ योजना का विरोध कर रहे हैं तो यह आपका सामवैधानिक अधिकार है।
यदि आप दंगा फ़साद, आगजनी व तोड़ फोड़ कर रहे हैं तो आप भारतीय सेना के लायक़ नहीं हैं।
सैनिक माँ भारती की रक्षा के लिए अपना शीश कटाता है, माँ भारती पर हमला नहीं करता, क्योंकि यह काम दुशमन का है।
