Indian food safety officer shakes up Mumbai as raid videos go viral
Tukaram Mundhe has led more than 3,000 raids since taking over as Maharashtra's food safety chief, winning public admiration for his crackdown on poor hygiene and unsafe food.
Mumbai is experiencing an unprecedented crackdown on food safety by state food safety commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, 51. Over the past few weeks, Mundhe has targeted various businesses including Domino's and Pizza Hut outlets, cricket clubs, hotels, and renowned restaurants in over 3,000 raids. The public has rallied behind Mundhe's efforts, admiring his no-nonsense approach and dedication to protecting public health.
Despite opposition from some businesses, Mundhe remains committed to his mission, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding lives. His team has conducted inspections at court canteens, and they are facing criticism from businesses that argue they should be given more time to adapt. Mundhe's actions have led to the suspension of licenses for numerous food businesses, with over 8,000 licenses cancelled in the last three years due to unsafe food practices.
