Three Baloch Sukhtbars were severely injured following a collision between two vehicles on the Sarbaz to Rask road.
According to Kolbarnews, citing Balochistan sources, on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, a collision between two vehicles on the Sarbaz to Rask road, near the village of Nazarabad (Heiteh Kargeh), resulted in the severe injury of three Baloch Sukhtbars.
As of the time of reporting, the identities of the three injured Sukhtbars remain unknown.
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.
