A Sukhtbar lost his life in a road accident due to the overturn and fire of his vehicle.
According to Kolbarnews, on the evening of Wednesday, July 3, 2024, a Sukhtbar in the city of Zabol lost his life due to a road accident, and fire.
The identity of the Sukhtbar remains unknown at the time of reporting.
Local sources stated: “On Wednesday evening, around 8:00 PM, the Sukhtbar’s vehicle veered off its path and overturned after hitting a road bump, resulting in a fire. The driver tragically perished in the flames.”
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.
