Viral Sach: Virar mayor watered plants even when it was raining?

It is being claimed in a viral video that Virar ‘mahanagarpalika’ Mayor Pravina Thakur was watering plants even if it was raining cats and dogs. What is the reality? As soon as the photo was shared, it went viral. People started cracking jokes on the picture. Some people are saying that the woman was AAP leader Alka Lamba. When we investigated, we found the reality was different. Maharashtra government had pledged to plant 2 crore plants by July 1. Mayor Pravina Thakur was a part of such a programme. Pravina Thakur planted a sapling and watered the plant. At that time it was raining. After planting a tree, it is customary to water the plant. This photo is true.
