The collapse occurred around 9:15 a.m. on the outbound lanes near the Samut Sakhon Provincial Transport Office, just before the Tha Chin Bridge. The crane, part of an elevated highway construction project, toppled across the central median, crushing at least two vehicles.

Police and rescue teams swiftly cordoned off the area and partially closed the highway to manage the scene and assist victims. Authorities have opened an investigation into the cause of the structural failure and are reviewing safety measures at the construction site.

    Madaris back Army, reject Fazlur remarks

    The Muttahida Madaris Council Pakistan has publicly distanced itself from recent remarks made by Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman regarding the Pakistan Army and the country’s martyrs. In an official statement, the council said religious seminaries across Pakistan have always stood with the country’s armed forces and fully respect the sacrifices made by military personnel in defending the nation. It stressed that no seminary or religious educational institution supports any narrative that could be interpreted as being against the armed forces. The council reaffirmed its commitment to national unity and expressed solidarity with Pakistan’s security institutions. It also paid tribute to the country’s martyrs, saying their sacrifices for national security and peace deserve the highest respect. The controversy began after Fazlur Rehman addressed a public gathering in Kasur, where he spoke about the security situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. During his speech, his comments about soldiers and martyrdom sparked widespread criticism from political leaders and members of the public. Several politicians described the remarks as inappropriate and called on the JUI-F chief to publicly clarify or withdraw his statement. They maintained that the sacrifices of soldiers should not become part of political debate and should always be treated with respect. Punjab Assembly Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan strongly criticised the remarks and urged Fazlur Rehman to issue a public apology. He also proposed the formation of a Senate committee to examine the issue and determine whether the veteran politician should be formally called to explain his comments. The matter has also entered the legal arena. A sessions court has issued a notice to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) regarding the registration of a cybercrime case linked to the controversial remarks. The agency is expected to submit its response during the legal proceedings. Legal experts say the court will review the available evidence before deciding whether further action is warranted under the relevant laws. The controversy has continued to dominate political discussions, with leaders from different parties expressing contrasting views over the issue. While critics insist that the remarks were disrespectful to the sacrifices of the armed forces, supporters of Fazlur Rehman have defended his right to express political opinions.

    Andrew Garfield heaps praise on Tom Holland’s Sp…

    Andrew Garfield has made it clear that there is nothing but admiration between the actors who have worn Spider-Man’s famous red-and-blue suit. The Amazing Spider-Man star recently opened up about Tom Holland’s portrayal of the beloved Marvel superhero, describing him as an “incredible actor” and expressing genuine excitement for Holland’s continued success as Peter Parker. Speaking during a promotional appearance for his latest film, Garfield was asked about Holland’s time as Spider-Man. Rather than comparing their performances, the Oscar-nominated actor focused on praising his successor, saying, “I love him,” while applauding Holland’s talent and dedication to the role. Garfield also said he is looking forward to seeing Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest installment in Holland’s Marvel journey.  Garfield portrayed Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its 2014 sequel before passing the torch to Holland, who officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2016. Although each actor has brought a different interpretation to the web-slinging hero, Garfield believes the character is in safe hands. Calling Holland an “incredible actor,” Garfield praised the emotional depth and energy he brings to Spider-Man. His comments reflect the respect that has long existed between the two stars, both on and off screen.  The pair famously shared the screen alongside Tobey Maguire in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, a film that united three generations of Spider-Man for the first time. Garfield previously described the experience as one of the most joyful moments of his career, saying it felt like celebrating the character’s enduring legacy rather than competing over it. During his latest interview, he joked that while he was simply enjoying the ride, Holland had the difficult task of carrying the film’s emotional weight.  Garfield’s supportive remarks come as excitement builds around Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which marks Holland’s latest outing as the iconic superhero. Fans have also continued to speculate about whether Garfield could one day return to the Marvel universe, though the actor has remained playful and noncommittal whenever asked about future appearances.  For Spider-Man fans, Garfield’s latest comments are another reminder that there is no rivalry between the actors behind the mask. Instead, there is mutual respect and appreciation for the responsibility of portraying one of the world’s most beloved superheroes. As Holland continues to lead the franchise, Garfield says he will be cheering him on—proof that once you’re part of the Spider-Man family, the bond never really disappears.

    What Katie Holmes’ daughter really thinks of her…

      Katie Holmes appears to be embracing a fresh chapter in her personal life, and according to recent reports, the person whose opinion matters most to her is fully supportive. The actress is reportedly dating New York-based artist Jason Bard Yarmosky, and sources claim that her daughter, Suri, is happy to see her mother enjoying life again after years of keeping her love life largely private.  Holmes and Yarmosky first sparked romance rumors after they were photographed together in New York before making additional public appearances in the Hamptons. Eyewitnesses described the pair as affectionate and comfortable in each other’s company, fueling speculation that the relationship is becoming more serious.  Despite the growing attention, Holmes is reportedly approaching the romance with caution. Sources close to the actress say she has learned from her past high-profile relationships and wants to let things develop naturally. Rather than rushing major milestones, she and Yarmosky are focusing on getting to know one another away from the spotlight.  Recent reports suggest that Suri has given her blessing to the relationship, encouraging her mother to embrace this new phase of life. However, other reports indicate that Holmes has not yet introduced Yarmosky to Suri, explaining that the romance is still in its early stages and that she prefers to keep family and dating separate until the relationship becomes more established. While these reports may seem contradictory, they collectively paint a picture of Holmes taking a thoughtful, measured approach to balancing motherhood and romance.  Now 20 years old, Suri is attending college and building her own future, giving Holmes more freedom to focus on herself. After dedicating years to raising her daughter following her 2012 divorce from Tom Cruise, the actress appears to be entering a new era where both mother and daughter are pursuing their own paths. Recent reports also note that Suri has legally adopted the surname “Noelle,” her mother’s middle name, reflecting another milestone in her independent life.  Yarmosky, a respected contemporary artist known for his work exploring themes of memory, aging, and family, is said to have a calming personality that Holmes appreciates. Insiders claim his grounded nature and creative outlook have helped the actress feel comfortable as she opens her heart again.  Although neither Holmes nor Yarmosky has publicly commented on the romance, fans are hopeful that this relationship brings happiness to the actress. With Suri reportedly supportive and Holmes choosing to move at her own pace, this new chapter appears to be built on trust, patience, and mutual respect.
