A Sukhtbari vehicle overturned in the Rutak border area of Mirjaveh County due to being overloaded.
According to Kolbarnews, on Thursday, July 25, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle overturned after getting stuck in the sand in the Rutak border area of Mirjaveh County due to excessive load.
No injuries were reported in this incident, but the vehicle and some of the fuel containers inside were damaged.
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.
