79% of milk samples in Maharashtra failed purity tests. 🥛⚠️
That was enough for IAS Tukaram Mundhe to launch one of the state's biggest crackdowns on milk adulteration.🥛
In just 30 days, the FDA conducted 360 raids, filed 235 FIRs, arrested 350 adulterators, and sealed 274 illegal units.
Even Mumbai's iconic K Rustom & Co. faced action over serious quality and hygiene violations.
Transferred 25 times in 21 years, Mundhe continues to put public health above pressure and politics.
Because every glass of milk should nourish, not harm.
Do we need more such officers in every state? Tell us in the comments.

Tukaram Mundhe is an example of what happens when bureuacracy actually does their job but unfortunately most babus are just there to make money for themselves and the angutha chaap netas who control their postings.
Karnataka CM @DKShivakumar : "I am saddened that once someone becomes an apartment owner, things change at every stage-one set of terms when they sign agreement, another at time of registration & yet another after they take possession. In many apartment associations, one or two quarrelsome residents create problems. For example, even before my apartment was registered in my name, my name was put up on the notice board. The same thing happened to me in Benniganahalli. They even said they would not allow me to enter. This is the kind of situation prevailing in some apartment associations".

As ideological debates challenge child nutrition programmes across India, Tamil Nadu’s century old school meal model offers a proven bipartisan blueprint.
Rooted in the 1920s and strengthened under leaders like K. Kamarajar and M.G. Ramachandran, Tamil Nadu’s Nutritious Noon Meal Programme serves over 5 million children daily with nutritious, science backed meals, including eggs.
It has consistently improved attendance, learning outcomes, and equity by treating meals as investments in human development rather than expenditure or ideology.
Tamil Nadu’s experience shows that when governments prioritise evidence, continuity, and inclusion over political symbolism, the benefits extend far beyond the classroom.
Better nutrition leads to better learning, healthier citizens, and a more equitable society.
Feeding children is not merely an act of welfare. It is an investment in the nation’s future.
[From my next article] Indian bureaucrats did not inherit the British stiff upper lip. They inherited only the external posture of British officialdom: distance, formality, files, waiting rooms, and the aura of office. The inner discipline—duty, restraint, punctuality, impersonal fairness, and responsibility—did not take root. In Britain, official reserve could at least be connected to self-command and public duty. In India, it fused with older habits of hierarchy, darbar culture, caste arrogance, and servility before power. What emerged was not restraint, but status-sadism in bureaucratic dress.

💯% true
IAS Tukaram Mundhe has been transferred 25 times in his 21-year career as a civil servant. Known for his strict anti-corruption stance and uncompromising approach to governance, the 2005-batch.
He is is currently serving as the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) appointed just a month ago.
He is leading a massive, state-wide "Safe Food, Safe Maharashtra" crackdown targeting food adulteration, unhygienic eateries, and the illegal gutkha trade.
How long will he be there in this position? I think he will not complete even a year in this role.
One of the most jarring things about adulthood is the realization of how many truly incompetent people are in the most important jobs. When I was a kid, I just assumed everyone “important” was smart or they wouldn’t be important. Boy, was that fucking wrong.
All this houses are just 300k to 400k dollars! Imagine the vibe and peace ☮️ of mind! Not even single city in india has such luxury! What’s the point and purpose of life? 🥺
In ittamadu, Bengaluru 30*40 is 200k dollars! Pure crap 💩
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken action against three major hotels in Nagpur after inspections found serious hygiene issues in their kitchens. Officials also reported signs of rodent activity, raising concerns about food safety and cleanliness.
The inspections were carried out as part of the FDA's routine enforcement drive to ensure food safety standards are being followed. Further action will be taken as per the findings of the investigation.

Qatar spent billions and years building new stadiums just for the 2022 World Cup. The U.S. is hosting the 2026 World Cup without building a single new stadium. Every venue is an existing NFL stadium, requiring only minor FIFA-specific upgrades. Amazing sports infrastructure.
It is an open secret that certain town planning officials of municipal bodies allegedly demand/ take a property when they clear a huge multi storied building file especially when a violation needs to be bypassed. Similar with Chief Engineers.
No wonder HMDA CE owns 15 flats.
