A Baloch Sukhtbar was injured in a traffic accident involving a Sukhtbari vehicle in Saravan.
According to Kolbarnews, on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, a Toyota pickup truck used for fuel transport collided with a tanker on the Kohak-Saravan road, injuring a Baloch Sukhtbar.
As of the time of this report, the identity and health condition of the injured Sukhtbar have not yet been confirmed.
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.
