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?
Cancer patient was about to die. She pleaded. Her plea has been listed 57 times. The court has still not heard it. Teesta Setalvad was about to be jailed. She pleaded. Her plea was listed out of turn. The court heard it at midnight.
Cancer patient is dead. Teesta is alive.
#BreakingNews | A Ryanair passenger was partially sucked out of a Boeing 737 after a window reportedly dislodged shortly after takeoff, triggering panic onboard.
A daycare employee at Capgemini's Bengaluru campus couldn't bear the abuse of the kids at the centre.
She reported it to supervisor, but instead of taking action, they fired her. She then became a whistleblower and leaked videos that exposed the abuse.
In the videos, toddlers were made to sit inside the drum of a front-loading washing machine, had water sprayed into their mouths using a toilet jet spray, were locked inside bathrooms, and were forced into narrow, water-filled pipes to frighten them. The videos triggered outrage, forcing authorities to act.
Today, according to media reports, the police have arrested the whistleblower only for allegedly "leaking sensitive videos." Lol! What a system! A poor woman with a clear conscience stood up to the powerful and went public, not for personal gain or with any malicious intent, but solely to protect those children. And she's the one who gets arrested.

Indian worker Vipin Kumar has been awarded honorary citizenship by the city of Craiova, Romania, after he jumped into an icy lake and saved the life of a 5-year-old girl. 🇮🇳🇷🇴
For nearly 30 minutes, he held the child above freezing water until rescuers arrived.
This is the side of Indians the world rarely sees in headlines: courage, sacrifice, compassion and humanity.
Yet stories like this seldom receive the attention that anti-India narratives do. No coverage from Western media outlets.
As India's envoy noted, Vipin's actions embodied the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam "The World is One Family." ❤️

This is so touching. President Droupadi Murmu wiping the tears of Lt Shashank Tiwari’s grieving mother 🥹
Just 23 years old & barely six months into service, Shashank saw a fellow Agniveer being SWEPT AWAY by a powerful mountain stream.
He did not hesitate. He jumped in, saved a life, and paid with his own💔
The Kirti Chakra honours bravery. Lt Shashank Tiwari embodied it. In an age where courage is often spoken about, he lived it in its purest form.
We're proud 🇮🇳

#BREAKING: India’s UN envoy @AmbHarishP makes loud statement tearing into terror state Pakistan at @UN General Assembly.
“I would like to make it loud and clear. Jammu and Kashmir was, is and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India. Any assertions to the contrary are baseless, devoid of and inconsistent with historical facts. Empty rhetoric and hollow claims by Pakistan would not change this fundamental reality.”

#WATCH | Ranchi, Jharkhand | A class 12th student, Sarthak Sidhant, says, “…I have written a blog that compares the tender documents of CBSE. I have uploaded and published it… There were at least 15 discrepancies, as per my blog. I would like to highlight three or four of them. Let me give a background about Coempt. It was known as Globarena, and they have a very shady background. 23 students killed themselves because of coempt… Now, I would like to tell you about RFP (Request for Proposal). What happens is the government issues a tender and asks the bidder to bid for it. CBSE issued this tender three times… I have compared the old RFP and the new RFP, and I found some discrepancies… The first discrepancy is that there were three clauses of poor performances which was completely wiped out from the new RFP. In the earlier RFP, there was a clause called blacklisted earlier, whereas in the new RFP, it was changed to blacklisted currently. Why would the board want a service provider which was blacklisted earlier? The third thing I found out is the 50 crore limit, which you needed to qualify, and coempt qualified that by 1.7% … The time frame of corrupt practices was halved, and there were project criteria changes… It shows a pattern that the industry giant TCS was not preferred, but coempt was preferred, which works as a very fragmented group of institutions…”
घुसपैठ और अन्य कारणों से Unnatural Demographic Change किसी भी राष्ट्र के वर्तमान व भविष्य के लिए एक बहुत बड़ी चुनौती है।
इसी चुनौती से निपटने के लिए 15 अगस्त 2025 को प्रधानमंत्री @narendramodi जी ने ‘High-Level Committee on Demographic Change’ की घोषणा की थी। मुझे बताते हुए हर्ष हो रहा है कि सरकार ने इस कमिटी का गठन कर लिया है।
जस्टिस प्रकाश प्रभाकर नावलेकर (सेवानिवृत्त) की अध्यक्षता में बनी इस कमिटी में जनगणना आयुक्त के साथ श्री दुर्गा शंकर मिश्रा (Retd IAS), श्री बालाजी श्रीवास्तव (Retd IPS) और डॉ. शमिका रवि समिति के सदस्य होंगे। संयुक्त सचिव (Foreigners-I), गृह मंत्रालय, इस समिति के सदस्य सचिव होंगे।
Demographic Change हमारी संप्रभुता के साथ ही राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा, कानून व्यवस्था, सामाजिक संरचना में गंभीर बदलाव और जनजातीय समाज के संरक्षण से जुड़ी एक गंभीर समस्या है। यह कमिटी, अवैध प्रवास और अन्य असामान्य कारणों से पूरे भारत में हो रहे demographic changes का व्यापक मूल्यांकन करेगी और ��ार्मिक एवं सामाजिक समुदायों के स्तर पर असामान्य जनसंख्या परिवर्तनों के pattern का विश्लेषण करेगी तथा इसका सुनियोजित और समयबद्ध समाधान प्रस्तुत करेगी।
Congratulations to the people of Assam.
Uniform Civil Code has been the BJP’s resolve since the day of its foundation. Under PM Shri @narendramodi Ji's leadership, BJP-led state governments are establishing uniform law for every citizen. I am delighted that after Uttarakhand and Gujarat, Assam too has passed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill today. On this occasion, I congratulate Chief Minister of Assam Shri @himantabiswa Ji and all the legislators who supported this bill.
We are committed to enshrining the principle of equality before the law in every part of the country.
Their names were Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta.
They were from Madhya Pradesh. They worked in Pune.
On the night of May 19 2024 they were riding a motorcycle in Kalyani Nagar when a Porsche Taycan hit them at high speed. Both died.
The driver was 17 years old. His name was Vedant Agarwal. His father Vishal Agarwal is one of Pune’s wealthiest builders.
He had spent the evening at a restaurant in Koregaon Park celebrating his Class 12 board exam results.
The restaurant served the group of minors alcohol until midnight. He paid Rs 48,000 for the drinks using his grandfather’s credit card.
He was drunk when he got behind the wheel of an unregistered Porsche worth over Rs 2.4 crore.
The initial order from a juvenile court asked him to write a 300 word essay on road accidents.
The country was furious.
His father Vishal Agarwal was arrested for attempting to obstruct justice.
His grandfather and two doctors were arrested for allegedly attempting to swap the juvenile’s blood sample at a hospital to conceal evidence of alcohol consumption.
The restaurant that served alcohol to minors was investigated. Police officers who handled the initial case were suspended.
The juvenile was eventually sent to a remand home.
Vishal Agarwal spent 22 months in jail before the Supreme Court granted him bail in March 2026.
Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta were cremated in Madhya Pradesh.
Their families are still waiting for the trial to conclude.
A 17 year old in an unregistered luxury car killed two working people on a night out.
His family spent months trying to make it go away.
Repost this. Some stories must not be allowed to disappear.
Stop throwing a fit. Delhi Gymkhana is a private club. No one’s taking away your membership of it. Just that, leave aside valid security concerns, taxpayers are no longer willing to subsidise to the tune of thousands of crores, your stale cutlets and evening swims.
