FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe
The new mantra on the foodie landscape is Tukaram Mundhe aa raha hai. The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner’s raids are now the stuff of news, views, on media and social media as he continues to pull up eateries for various lapses and rule violations.
While the court has hauled up the FDA on some occasions and that too has made news, the overall picture is that of a commissioner doing a clean-up job without fear or favour. Citizens, by and large, are cheering for this man and his campaign. There is also the sentiment that Mundhe must not be transferred. He must stay in this post and continue doing the stellar job he is undertaking.
