The ceremony was held at the Memorial for Fallen People, where local residents gathered to pay their respects. The event was attended by villagers, youth, and children who paid tribute to the martyred leaders.
During the ceremony, participants carried photographs of the martyred leaders and paid their respects while observing moments of silence. They also decorated the area in front of the portraits of the martyred leaders with flower bouquets and lit candles in their honor. The local residents remembered the sacrifices made by the martyred leaders and pledged to follow their exemplary leadership and principles.
