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?
Agnieszka Hadała, a Polish woman living in India, just called out something many people have noticed.
She asked why Europe gets empathy during a heatwave, while India is often mocked or called "backward" for facing similar challenges.
She pointed out that parts of Poland are struggling at 35°C, with schools closing, roads and railway tracks affected, and many homes without AC or even fans.
Meanwhile, India regularly faces 40-50°C summers. When Indians slept on Mumbai's Versova Beach during power cuts to escape the heat, it became a global joke.
Now people across Europe are doing the same, but this time the world responds with sympathy.
They tried to ban it. The establishment and the left don't want you to see it. But thanks to @elonmusk, the Citizen Vigilante movie is going worldwide.
Please support and publicize the @CitizenVMovie, it's important that we do not allow the media or government to shut us down!
Remember S. Venkitaramanan?
He was IAS officer who became Governor of @rbi in December 1990-1992. He brilliantly managed balance of payment/ foreign exchange crisis.
Vipul Amritlal Shah has made a full-length film on the unprecedented economic crisis.
Venkitaramanan’s role is played by one and only @BajpayeeManoj .
Trailor of Governor👇🏾
Both of them are Pakistani Muslim journalists. See what's going on in the conversation. Every human being in this world must take out some time and listen to this.
Worth sending to every human being.

The problem of Leftists like Suzanne Arundhati Roy now, is that the Internet is available to every Indian today and her fake claims are rejected outrightly by just posting two videos side by side. A fact, which was not possible a few years back.
