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.
On Nov 1, 2025, Amaira, a Class 4 student, died by suicide after jumping from the fourth floor of the Neerja Modi School in Jaipur.
She had been bullied for 18 months, with classmates targeting her using "bad words," many of which carried sexual undertones. However, her class teacher repeatedly dismissed complaints from both Amaira and her parents, telling them instead that she needed to adjust to the other kids.
The parents have now released the school CCTV footage they obtained to the public. The footage reveals that even on the day of her death, Amaira approached the teacher multiple times for help but was ignored.
Hard to believe that teachers, even at such posh schools, are not trained to handle severe bullying or recognize a child in deep psychological distress. Totally preventable death.
She was an employee at a Bengaluru daycare. She saw babies being tortured, loaded on to washing machines, stuffed down toilet bowls. She complained. She was sacked. She became a whistleblower and exposed the horrific crimes. She should have been rewarded.
She has been arrested.
A 13 year old girl was raped for 5 days by 30 men but they’re still stuck with this case only and not reporting that even for once.
I feel Indian media isn’t hated enough.
Before saving a man from suicide.
World: Everyone, silent. The responder is trying to make the person understand. Let the situation remain calm.
India: "Aeee, pakad! Ooo, pakad na... arre... kya kar raha hai woh aadmi, ch****? Aise pakdega kya?"
After saving a man from suicide.
World: "Son, keep calm. You're safe now. We're here to help you. Let's get you somewhere safe and talk, okay?"
India: "Aeee, maar! Maar reee... maar MC ko, maar BC ko..."
जितने वीडियो देख रहा हूँ लोगों के, जो पेट्रोल पम्प से सीधे बोतलों में पेट्रोल भरवा रहे हैं, उनमें से अधिकांश तो ऐसा दिखता है कि सरकार ने संभवतः E85 को E20 के नाम पर डालना आरम्भ कर दिया है।
फ्यूल और एथनॉल का सेपरेशन दिख रहा है। एक जगह देखा उसका रंग गुलाबी है ना कि डार्क ऑरेंज। कहीं तो लीची के जूस जैसा रंग भी दिखा।
यह अविश्वास इसलिए भी है क्योंकि @nitin_gadkari, @HardeepSPuri और @PMOIndia ने बिना किसी जागरूकता अभियान के, या उपभोक्ता सहमति के, पेट्रोल कह कर E20 हमारी टंकियों में डलवाना चालू कर दिया था, दो साल बाद पता चला कि ये तो पेट्रोल है नहीं और हमारी गाड़ी भी उसके लिए उचित रूप से तैयार नहीं है।
अब @narendramodi बताएँ कि ये क्या बिक रहा है पम्प पर? क्या पेट्रोल पम्प वाले अपनी तरफ़ से भी कुछ घपला कर रहे हैं? स्थानीय पुलिस फिर क्या कर रही है? आप हर बात को चुप्पी या फिर सोरोस का एजेंट कह कर टाल नहीं सकते।
