A Baloch Sukhtbar lost his life following a vehicle overturn on the Zahedan-Khash route.
According to Kolbarnews, on Thursday, June 6, 2024, a Sukhtbari vehicle veered off the road and overturned on the Zahedan-Khash route, near the village of Chah-Nali. The passenger of the vehicle succumbed to severe injuries after being transferred to Hospital in Zahedan.
The deceased Sukhtbar has been identified as “Abdolwahid Hassanzehi,” also known as Khan Mohammad, a married resident of Zahedan.
Local sources reported: “This afternoon around 1:20 PM, near the village of Chah-Nali, the fuel-carrying vehicle veered off the road and overturned. The passenger was severely injured and later died from his injuries at Khatam al-Anbia Hospital in Zahedan.”
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
