A Sukhtbari vehicle overturned, resulting in minor injuries to its two occupants.
According to Kolbarnews, on Thursday, August 15, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle overturned on the Mehrestan to Sib and Soran road in Mehrestan County, leading to minor injuries to the two Sukhtbars.
The identities of the injured Baloch Sukhtbars remain unknown at the time of reporting.
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.
