A passenger car Sukhtbari caught fire on the Iranshahr road.
According to Kolbarnews, on the evening of Wednesday, September 4, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle at the entrance of Iranshahr caught fire due to carrying gasoline. The driver managed to exit the vehicle in time before it exploded.
Sukhtbari is considered an unconventional and hazardous job that many Baluch people in Baluchistan are forced into due to the lack of suitable and stable employment. Accidents, vehicle rollovers, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that Sukhtbars face.
According to reports from Baluch activists, in the first six months of 2024, at least 133 Baluch Sukhtbars have died from shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, with another 80 injured in these incidents, including nine children.
