Three Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives after their vehicle fell into a ditch dug by the Road and Sewage Department, due to the absence of warning signs.
According to Kolbarnews, on Friday, May 24, 2024, three Baloch Sukhtbars died after their vehicle fell into a ditch dug by the Chabahar County Road Department at the Koch intersection in the Pirsohrab area, leading to a fire.
The identities of the three Sukhtbars are reported as:
– Abdolghaffar Baluchzadeh (Hoot), approximately 26 years old, from and residing in Pishin.
– Abdolshakour Singlu (Hoot), approximately 23 years old, from Pishin and residing in Charbati Kehir in Konarak County.
– Moslem Hoot, approximately 24 years old, from and residing in Charbati Kehir in Konarak County.
Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have resorted to out of lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturning, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars in this profession. According to reports from Baloch activists in 2023, at least 172 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, and 42 others were injured in these incidents, including 11 children
