On July 18, 2023, according to Balochistan Human Rights, military forces raided the Khwaja Mask village (Haji Ghanishah Bagh district) near the town of Zahedan and demolished numerous residential homes belonging to local Baloch citizens using loaders. Approximately 70 houses were destroyed in the village, with only a few of them being unoccupied. It’s important to note that these lands have been the traditional dwellings of local tribes and clans for decades, but the military disregarded this and proceeded with demolishing the homes of indigenous Baloch people.
In recent years, there have been multiple reports and documented cases of the destruction of residential homes belonging to indigenous Baloch people, often driven by political and security-related objectives by government and military forces, causing serious hardships for the residents and rightful owners of those areas.
