After the body of a Myanmar employee was found yesterday, a seventh man has perished in the frame decline event near Rama II Road on Saturday.

Htike Wai Yan, a twenty-two-year-old native of Myanmar, was found at Taksin Hospital.

After the crumble, a relative was reported to be unable to find him.

The relative next went to the construction site, where only his backpack and cellular phone were discovered, according to reports. The family was informed that Htike Wai was last seen constructing the gate.

A practical beam being constructed on Saturday, about 200 meters from an freeway access, collided with another framework, killing six people and injuring at least 22 others. Three Thai and two international workers were named in the earlier record of five incidents.

About 40 % of the incident’s debris, according to the Expressway Authority of Thailand ( Exat ), under the Ministry of Transportation.

Within seven times, Exat anticipates reopening the northbound lanes of the Dao Khanong and Chalerm Maha Nakhon motorways. It is anticipated that maintenance on the outgoing roads of the expressways will take 30 days to complete.

However, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has requested that state agencies meet to discuss security in the building industry. The meeting will take place immediately at the Thai Khu Fah Building.

A contractor reported hearing loud sounds from the construction on Saturday as cement was being poured to join columns. An inspection is being conducted to ascertain the reason.

Vice chairman of the Thai Engineering Institute, Assoc. Prof. Siriwat Chaichana, speculated that the incident may have been caused by a move in a support structure.

The shift may have been the result of soil displacement, which he said caused the framework supporting 10 tons of material to bend and then separate.

Suriya Juangroongruangkit, the minister of transport, gave the order yesterday for Exat to build a probe. He claimed that the so-called” company’s report book,” a report that evaluates the performance of the contractors, is scheduled to be available next month.

Exat government Surachet Laophulsuk stated that the company has been instructed to put off building for 14 days pending the research.
