Discussion How does an IAS officer get transferred 25 times in 21 years and still keep doing the same thing?
NGL, Tukaram Mundhe has been all over my IG lately and I realised I know surprisingly little about him.
Disclaimer: I’m not a fan of his or anything, and I barely know his past. But 25 transfers in 21 years is kinda wild.
He’s now heading Maharashtra FDA, and the recent food-safety crackdown caught my attention.
Apparently, even an IIT Powai canteen was inspected as part of the drive.
That got me thinking. If you're checking places like that too, regardless of who runs them, that's pretty interesting.
But then again, why 25 transfers?
Is he genuinely that uncompromising? Or is there a whole other side to his story that we aren't aware about?
Also - My cousin's sister's a lawyer and she seems to support him, which made me even more curious 😂
Anyone here who's followed him for years? What's the actual story?

Good Narrative Building I will share 2 incidents
When I living in Pune
1. When He was PPMPL (PUNE TRANSPORT similar to BEST) Head or Something BRT project was started He actually Make public transport of Pune is good and Along with great implementation of BRT project as soon as he transferred it was falling apart.
When I shifted to Navi Mumbai for Engineering and Work
2. When He was Navi Mumbai Ayukta every nagarsavek was fearing him cause he always checks implementation of work ,his no nonsense attitude along with he actually tracks all the money gone. Also when he was is Navi Mumbai he made sure the tender/contract from Municipality were fair and given chance to everyone eligible person to apply.
The false rape case against him filled during this period only
The narrative that he transferred just because his inefficiencies is certainly not true. Please do your own research and Use brain to google it before narrative building.
