A collision between two Sukhtbari vehicles in Rask County has left two Sukhtbars injured.
According to Kolbarnews, on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, two Sukhtbari vehicles collided in the border region of Mortan, Rask County, injuring both Sukhtbar drivers.
A local source stated, “The collision caused significant financial damage, but fortunately, the Sukhtbar drivers only sustained minor injuries.”
As of this report, the identities of the two Sukhtbars remain unknown.
Sukhtbari considered one of the unconventional and dangerous occupations that many Baloch people in Balochistan are forced to engage in due to the lack of suitable and stable employment opportunities. Accidents, vehicle overturns, and direct shootings by military and security forces are some of the dangers that threaten the lives of Sukhtbars. According to reports by Baloch activists, in 2024, at least 240 Baloch Sukhtbars lost their lives due to shootings by military forces, traffic accidents, and vehicle fires, while 135 others were injured in these incidents, 19 of whom were children.
