According to organizers, political, social, and civil society groups are finalizing programmes in towns and cities across AJK, while similar observances are also expected among Kashmiri communities in other parts of the world. The main ceremony will be held in Muzaffarabad, with parallel events planned at divisional and district headquarters, where speakers are expected to address the historical significance of the July 19, 1947 resolution.

The day is observed annually by supporters of the accession movement to commemorate the resolution adopted by the then All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference in Srinagar on July 19, 1947, which called for the accession of the princely state to Pakistan. Organizers say the observance also renews their commitment to the Kashmiri cause and the pursuit of what they describe as the right to self-determination.
