Following the overturning of a Sukhtbari vehicle on the Mehrestan–Soran road, two Baloch Sukhtbars were involved in an accident, leaving one dead and the other seriously injured.
According to Kolbarnews, on Monday, August 18, 2025, a Sukhtbari vehicle overturned on the Mehrestan–Soran road, resulting in the death of one Baloch Sukhtbar and severe injury to another.
The deceased Sukhtbar has been identified as Naser Dahani, son of Gol Mohammad, married, and a resident of Kahnemagar village in Mehrestan County. The identity of the injured Sukhtbar was not known at the time of this report.
It is noted that the injured individual has been transferred to Hospital in Saravan County.
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.
