A vehicle accident in Mirjaveh County resulted in the death and injury of two Baloch Sukhtbars.
According to Kolbarnews, on Thursday, June 6, 2024, a tire burst on a Toyota Sukhtbari vehicle on the Mirjaveh road caused the vehicle to overturn.
One Baloch citizen died instantly, and another was severely injured.
The identity of the deceased Sukhtbar has been confirmed as “Khalil Bahramzehi (Notizehi),” 30 years old. The injured Sukhtbar is “Ebrahim Rigi,” both from Zahedan.
Local sources stated: “This evening near the city of Mirjaveh, the tire of a Toyota Sukhtbari vehicle burst, causing it to overturn. One of the passengers died instantly, and the Sukhtbar was severely injured and transferred to Hospital in Zahedan.”
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
