In a car accident on the Soldier-Rask route, a student and a Baloch Sukhtbar lost their lives.
According to Kolbarnews, quoting from HaleVash, the Baloch Sukhtbar, severely injured in the accident on Sunday, April 14, 2024, on the Sarbaz-Rask route, succumbed to his injuries.
The identity of this Baloch Sukhtbar is reported as “Abdul Basit Baloch,” son of Mohammad, from Kishgur Jannat Kalag village, Soldier.
Additionally, a 17-year-old student had also lost his life in this incident. His identity was previously verified as “Yousef Paydari,” son of AbdolSattar, from Firouzabad village, studying in the eleventh grade of humanities at Allameh Tabatabaei School in Rask.
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
