Participants marched up to the Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC). The rally will end at the Botanical Garden as the participants march back to the garden.

A canvas signature campaign will be followed by a cultural programme at the Botanical Garden where patriotic songs and events to commemorate the country’s independence will be held.
