A Baloch citizen sustained injuries from a fire in a Sukhtbari vehicle.
According to Kolbarnews, on the evening of Sunday, June 30, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle caught fire for unknown reasons in the Shahrdaraz area of Iranshahr, resulting in a citizen suffering burns.
The identity and condition of the injured citizen are unknown at this time.
Local sources reported that around 9:00 PM, the Sukhtbari vehicle caught fire, causing burns to the citizen’s hands and feet.
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
