Four people, including two Baloch Sukhtbars, were seriously injured following a collision between two vehicles.
According to Kolbarnews, citing Balochistan sources, on Friday, June 7, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle collided with another passing vehicle near the village of Kenari in Saravan County, resulting in injuries to four occupants from both vehicles, including two Sukhtbar.
As of the time of reporting, the identities of the injured individuals remain unknown.
Local sources stated: “on the afternoon, following the collision between a Sukhtbars and a passing vehicle, four occupants from the two vehicles were injured and transferred to Hospital in Saravan.”
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
