A Baluch Sukhtbar was injured in a road accident in Saravan.
According to Kolbarnews, citing sources in Balochistan, on Thursday, May 23, 2024, a Baluch Sukhtbar was injured when his vehicle overturned on the Nahook to Sinookan road in Saravan County.
The injured Sukhtbar has been identified as “Farhad (last name unknown),” son of Khaleghdad.
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
