Two citizens, including a Baloch Sukhtbar, lost their lives in a traffic accident on the Iranshahr-Nikshahr road.
According to Kolbarnews, on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, a collision between a Sukhtbari vehicle and a passing car in the Pip Lashar area on the Iranshahr-Nikshahr road resulted in the deaths of both drivers, including a Baloch Sukhtbar.
As of the time of this report, the identities of the two citizens remain unknown.
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
