Mauritanian Airlines has claimed that reports that a plane carrying 210 Mauritanian pilgrims crashed on the Red Sea coast are a rumor.

The sudden news of the plane crash on Tuesday (May 27) caused concern on social media. However, airline authorities confirmed that all the pilgrims arrived safely in Saudi Arabia.

Reports circulating in various media outlets claimed that a plane carrying pilgrims from Mauritania to Saudi Arabia had crashed on the Red Sea coast. Initial reports claimed that contact with the plane was mysteriously lost while en route to the Holy Land for the Hajj pilgrimage.

However, the airline authorities denied the allegations and said that by the grace of God, all the pilgrims arrived in Saudi Arabia safely and securely. There were no reports of any accidents on any of the flights scheduled for the Hajj season.

They have urged the media to refrain from disseminating accurate information and spreading fake news. At the same time, the organization has said it will take legal action against those spreading rumors.

Another media outlet, MASDR News, said the news about the Mauritanian Hajj plane crash was baseless and false. Government sources said the news of the plane crashing on the Red Sea coast was incorrect and the video being circulated was fake.

Meanwhile, a video circulating on social media shows terrified passengers screaming from inside the plane and chanting "Allahu Akbar" as the plane plummets. However, that video has also been proven to be fake.

The 78th Cannes Film Festival ended on May 24. But the criticism of Bollywood's popular model-actress Urvashi Rautela does not seem to be leaving. The actress has been going to the Cannes Festival for a couple of years. Although in the first year, many confused her with Aishwarya Rai. They even called her Aishwarya. Later, Urvashi herself cleared up the mistake.

This time, netizens have found similarities between Urvashi Rautela's first day outfit at the Cannes Festival and Aishwarya's outfit from several years ago. This has sparked sarcasm. They have called her 'fake Aishwarya'. This has made the actress very angry. Here's what Urvashi Rautela said in response.

Blue eyeshadow on the eyes at the Cannes Film Festival. The hairstyle also has a touch of drama. Along with the crystal hairband. Off-shoulder gown. A mix of different colors. Actress Urvashi was seen in this exact look on the first day of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival red carpet. She also had matching earrings on her ears.

France is the city of fashion. The heroine tried to present herself in a different way by going to that country. But the result of her efforts was bitter. On that day, the actress had a clutch worth about 4.5 lakh rupees in her hand. But Urvashi's outfit did not impress the fans. In 2018, the actress wore a similar gown designed by Aishwarya Michael Cinco.

The actress shared a screenshot and commented. Where a netizen wrote - Trying to be Aishwarya Rai without any charisma. Urvashi replied - Trying to be Aishwarya Rai without any charisma, then let's say - no one compares to Aishwarya. I am not here to copy anyone. I am actually a blue print.

The actress added, "Cannes invited me to stand out from the crowd. If my looks, my outfits, or my confidence make you uncomfortable... then maybe take a deep breath (or two). I'm not anyone's cup of tea, I'm like champagne with fireworks," she said.

The monsoon is approaching. Moderate and heavy rains have already started in Rangamati. It has been raining intermittently for a few days. Due to the constant rain, there is a fear of landslides in Rangamati. In such a situation, the district administration has issued an alert in risky areas to avoid possible disasters. Warnings are being circulated regarding this.

The district administration said that the district administration has made all necessary preparations to deal with any disaster, including landslides, in Rangamati during the upcoming monsoon. Due to the rains for several days, panic has been created among the people living at the foot of the hills of Rangamati including the city. Landslides can happen at any moment. The district administration is issuing warnings and spreading awareness messages to ensure the safety of life and property of those living at the foot of the hills. The administration is asking people at risk to immediately leave the risky areas and take shelter in safe places if the amount of rain increases.

Meanwhile, Deputy Director of Rangamati Local Government Department Md. Mobarak Hossain inspected the risky areas of the district town. The district administration said that locals have been warned since May 22.

District Deputy Collector (NDC) Nabil Nowroz Boishakh said that the administration is conducting an advance warning campaign among those living at the foot of the hills to avoid loss of life and property due to increased rainfall in Rangamati. Such warning activities will continue if the rain continues. However, shelter centers will be opened if the rain persists for a long period.

Deputy Commissioner Md. Habib Ullah said that the utmost importance is being given to ensuring that no life is lost in any natural disaster, including landslides, in Rangamati. Therefore, instructions have been given to prepare for any possible natural disaster in Rangamati.

In June 2018, another landslide in Naniarchar upazila of the district claimed the lives of 11 people, including 2 children, and in June 2019, three people were killed in Kaptai of the district.

Meanwhile, Bhedbhedi, Shimultali, Rupnagar, and Jubo Unnayan area are among the 31 places identified as landslide-prone areas in the district town. Yet, surprisingly, the population in those areas is increasing. However, the scars of the 2017 landslide are still visible. Even then, people are living in landslide-prone areas. Despite knowing the risk of death, people are living on the slopes of the mountains. Risky settlements have been formed.

According to district administration sources, about 20,000 people from 5,000 families in the district are living at risk of landslides. 31 points in the city alone have been identified as risky. Many families are living at risk of landslides on the slopes and foothills of mountains in the city and in various upazilas of the district.

Upazila executive officers have been asked to take all necessary measures for the safety of people in risky areas.

Real Madrid's relationship with Spanish champions Barcelona is in tatters. But not only that, but Barca's relationship with city rivals Espanyol is also bitter. Barca is looking to sign Espanyol's young goalkeeper Juan Garcia, who is also the best in Spain!

A deal has even been agreed with Garcia. Under the deal, Barca are signing him for €25 million, which could rise to €30 million if he is called up to the Spanish national team.

The 24-year-old has been in excellent form this season in La Liga, making the most saves in Spain with 138. He is also among the best in Europe, making him the second-most 'interventions' goalkeeper in Europe, behind only Brentford's Mark Flecken.

Barca said: "We have made this decision considering the present and the future. We need a change in goalkeeping, and Garcia can be our place of hope."

Marc-Andre ter Stegen's fitness has been in doubt for the past few seasons after undergoing three knee operations. Meanwhile, it is still uncertain whether Poland's Cech Szczesny will stay with Barca. In this situation, Barcelona were looking for a new hope for the future, and they found it in Garcia.

On the other hand, Espanyol were in financial trouble and needed to sell a player worth at least 15 million euros before June 30. This pressure forced them to make a quick decision. Although Arsenal had an offer of 20 million euros, the club leaned towards that as Garcia himself expressed his interest in joining Barca.

Barcelona are now considering a season-long loan deal to secure Garcia's playing time. Real Betis and Valencia have already shown interest. But Garcia himself wants to play at the top level now. "I want to play at a club where I can improve. Barcelona is the place to be," he said.
