Dashtiari; Four Baloch Sukhtbars Injured in Road Accident

Following a collision between two Nissan pickup Sukhtbari vehicles at the Rimdan border junction in Dashtyari County, at least four Baloch Sukhtbars were injured.

According to Kolbarnews, on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, a collision occurred between two Nissan pickup Sukhtbari vehicles at the Rimdan border junction in Dashtiari County, resulting in injuries to at least four Baloch Sukhtbars.

The identities of two of the injured Sukhtbars have been confirmed as Omid Zardkouhi, son of Hamid, and Obaid Kouhi, son of Pirmohammad, both residents of the Sarkor area in Sarbaz County.

All four occupants of the two vehicles were injured in the accident and were transferred to medical centers for treatment.

Sukhtbari is considered one of the unconventional and dangerous jobs that many Baloch people in Balochistan have been forced to turn to due to the lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle overturns, and direct gunfire from military and security forces are among the dangers that threaten the lives of these Sukhtbars. According to reports from Baloch activists, in the year 2024, at least 375 Baloch Sukhtbars have been injured or lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires. Of this number, 240 Sukhtbars were killed and 135 were injured, representing a 55% increase in the number of killed and injured Sukhtbars compared to the year 2023.
