A young Sukhtbar lost his life due to the overturning of his vehicle in Qaleh Ganj County.
According to Kolbarnews, on Friday, September 20, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle deviated from its path in Qaleh Ganj County, causing it to overturn. As a result of severe injuries sustained in the accident, a Baluch Sukhtbar lost his life.
The identity of the deceased Sukhtbar has been reported as “Amir Ali Rahmani Khalis,” a 19-year-old son of Habibullah, from the village of Galoo Ahavant in the Qaleh Ganj region.
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.
