Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner, Tukaram Mundhe , the man behind massive crackdown on food irregularities across the state, has been among the newsmakers for the past few weeks. Mundhe’s efforts to fix the quality of what the public consumes have now been acknowledged and appreciated by actor Mallika Sherawat .
The food regulatory body has already conducted over 3,000 spot checks since May, according to Bloomberg. Pune division emerged as the worst offender with the highest number of licence suspensions, while inspectors served 948 improvement notices for critical cold-chain and sanitation breaches, they said. The actor’s comments arrive at a time when the FDA under Mundhe has launched a massive crackdown on food businesses, hotels, restaurants and warehouses across Maharashtra.
Because of his work, she spoke directly to the camera and said in Marathi that he has truly made a mark. Because of your strict rules, your values… which are keeping all of us safe. Mallika took to her Instagram account and shared a video of herself eating idli and chutney. She went on to add, “Aap ki wajah se ab main shanti se khana kha sakti hu jaante hue ki aap ke jo strict rules hai, aapke jo adarsh hai woh hum sab ko safe rakh rahe hai. Aap ki nazro se kuch bachta nahi (For you now I can eat food without worrying. Nothing gets past your sharp eye). Thank you so much.
