People can’t stop laughing at this photo/ Twitter

Sometimes, logic just fails. And this is exactly what happened when Vasai-Virar’s Mayor Pravina Thakur decided to water plants even when it was raining cats and dogs.

A picture of Thakur watering plants during heavy rains has gone viral and people on social media can’t help but comment on it. In fact, in the picture, people around her can be seen holding umbrellas. Well, that should have been a hint.

Nevertheless, environmentalists would delight in the fact that Thakur has taken on the green drive very seriously, and she’s there adding and cultivating to Mumbai’s green cover – in the presence of of shutterbugs – come rain, come…rain!

Here’s what the good people of social media had to say:

Ahead of the rollout of GST 2.0 effective from September 22, companies have announced lower prices for over 375 common-use goods. The government has urged corporates to pass on the benefits to consumers, resulting in cheaper prices for FMCG products, milk, butter, cheese, pickles, jams, and ice creams. Other items like shampoo, soap, cement, durable goods, and cars may also see a reduction.
