Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and across the world will observe Jammu Martyrs' Day on Friday.

The day is observed to reiterate the resolve to continue the mission of the Kashmiri martyrs to achieve their political destiny through the UN-recognized right to self-determination.

According to Kashmir Media Service, hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris were martyred by the forces of Dogra Maharaja Hari Singh, the Indian Army, RSS, and Hindu Mahasabha extremists in different parts of the Jammu region while they were migrating to Pakistan during the first week of November in 1947.

Every year, Kashmiris mark November 6 as Jammu Martyrs' Day to pay tribute to the victims of the massacre.
