Truth

The video is not from Prayagraj, UP but is from Begumpur, Delhi

The frame wise reverse image search got us the results of the tweets made last week using the same video, all of them claimed the location to be Begampur, Delhi.

It is located in Begumpur, District North West, Delhi, the capital of India. @LtGovDelhi @msisodia For 2 years Government, MLA, all departments are sleeping.

DM,MCD,DJB,I&FCD and MLA no department or officer is able to Solve this problem.#DelhiUpdate pic.twitter.com/xDUv7OJr2u

On looking at the video closely, we found a a part of the name of a Hospital with “ality” before it which probably meant “Multi-speciality Hospital”.

We search for the hospital in Begampur and came across “Hira’s Multi-speciality Hospital” which matched the one in the viral video.

In the below comparative image you can see the common point. The above photo is a screenshot taken from the viral video while the below is the image we found on Internet. Although the other two in the viral video weren’t in the Internet image i.e. “Fashion World” and “Sahil Fitness Club”. So we called up The Hospital and asked if they can tell us about their neighboring shops to which they rightly replied about the both.
The image uploaded on internet by Hospital is 2 years old, as you can see Year 2020 is written on the bottom right.

Further, on digging more we found a Facebook post by Sachin (मुख्य सलाहकार, सदैव जन विकास जन कल्याण रेजिडेंट वेलफेयर एसोसिएशन बेगमपुर ) who claims to be a Cheif Advisor, Sadaiv Jan Vikas Jan Kalyan Resident Welfare Associaltion, Begumpur

The video posted by him is  much longer and of higher resolution (hinting to be original/uploaded first)

“#जय_हिन्द_जी आप सभी माता, बहने और भाईयो से निवेदन है कि #बरवाला_रोड से संभल कर निकले आज दिनांक 23/08/2022 हमारी टीम बरवाला रोड में एमसीडी द्वारा कार्य देख रही थी तभी एक बहन जी जो सिविल सेवा की तैयारी करने लाइब्रेरी जाते समय नाले में गिर गई ये #स्थानीय_नेताओं और #अधिकारियों की करतूतें है आज तक इनको समस्या नहीं दिख रही थी थोड़ा बहुत अधिकारी काम करने लगे तो जेसीबी के सामने खड़े होकर फोटो शूट शुरू हो जाता है आप लोग पिछले 2 साल से कहा थे जनता को जवाब दो“

Translation: “#Jai_Hind_Ji Request all of you mothers, sisters and brothers to take care of #Barwala_Road, today on 23/08/2022 our team was looking after the work by MCD in Barwala Road, only then a sister who went to the library to prepare for civil services. This is the handiwork of the local leaders and officers who fell in the drain, till today they did not see the problem, some officers started working, then standing in front of the JCB, the photo shoot starts, you guys had told the public for the last 2 years. give 🙏”
