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?
This is a self-made disaster, enabled by a duopoly and the confidence that you can always bend the system to your convenience.
You knew winter inevitably brings delays, you knew your pilot shortage was severe, and you had eighteen months to fix it. Yet you continued aggressively selling tickets and even overbooking flights far beyond what your actual operational capacity could support.
I genuinely hope someone drags you to court and sets an example, because without accountability, this cycle will never end.
#DLF has screwed up Moulsari area and how! Unchecked greed & corruption leads to snarling traffic jams, selfish construction that threatens lives of innocents, & a blind takeover of public roads. And no accountability! #gurgaon#traffic@RoadsOfIndia@BJP4Haryana@police_haryana

Oh bhai 😭
Gems of Godi media.
“Pehle kahenge update do update do fir fake news chalvake kahenge fake kyon diya”
The reporter literally said “iski maa ka..” in frustration 🤣🤣
Never had a doubt. It would have been amazing if the rogue nation would have upheld its end. It’s grave mistake being thinking India would back down & let go of its defences. Pls do not say Pak and India are one and the same country & brothers etc. that rhetoric is tiresome.
Is this accurate? Can anyone verify?
@sushantsareen ??
Meanwhile have just seen news of drones intercepted in Jamnagar, as sirens have been sounded there.
They had a chance for an honorable exit yesterday, but they blew it. Today they attempted to bomb Delhi with a long-range missile, which was intercepted over Sirsa.
And now, from Rawalpindi and Lahore to Peshawar and beyond, India is striking deep into the heart, lungs, liver, and pancreas of Pakistan.
Trust their proxies within India to launch a full-blown chorus of de-escalation by tomorrow morning.
I’m not sure how the “International Community” thinks the current tension in the subcontinent will be de-escalated when the IMF essentially reimburses Pakistan for all the ordnance it is using to devastate Poonch, Rajouri, Uri, Tangdhar & so many other places.
@sushantsareen Tell me, considering the situation, do you think Gurgaon & its citizens + administration is prepared? What can we do at our end to be better prepared?
