The event brought together survivors, bereaved families, religious leaders, and politicians. Attendees paid tribute to those lost and reiterated demands for justice for the perpetrators of the brutal killings. The community also called for increased security measures to prevent future attacks and protect residents. The massacre, which occurred last year, remains a significant trauma for the region. The gathering served as both a solemn remembrance and a renewed plea to authorities to address the ongoing security concerns and ensure accountability.
