An Instagram video praising Maharashtra FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe’s relentless drive against unhygienic food vendors has gone viral, capturing widespread public support. A content creator highlighted a noticeable improvement in the quality of local shawarma and cart cleanliness following strict administrative enforcement, calling the IAS officer a “real-life Singham. The post resonated strongly with social media users, many of whom voiced admiration for Mundhe’s zero-tolerance approach to food safety.
He goes on to say that after the IAS officer’s crackdown on local shawarma stalls, the sellers have started keeping their carts clean and selling better quality food.
In the video, vlogger Rohit Patil says, “Tukaram Mundhe Sir, Salute to you.
However, after the crackdown, it stopped completely. IAS officer Tukaram Mundhe is known for his tough administrative style. His relentless drive against food and drug adulteration as Maharashtra’s FDA Commissioner has again brought him into the national spotlight. Since taking on this new role, he has spearheaded an aggressive statewide food safety campaign. His initiatives involved surprise inspections targeting places that sold adulterated products and unhygienic food items, and that engaged in unsafe food practices.
He recalled that earlier, eating the dish would leave a dark colour on his hand.
