Dr. Sham Singh Road
Dr. Sham Singh Road is the road joining Ferozepur Road, near Mini Secretariat & Maharani Jhansi Road, near GGN Khala Collehe.
Dr Sham Singh was born at Rajgarh (near Doraha) in 1882. His father Buta Singh Dhillon was moderately educated but gifted with a robust common sense. He wisely raised resources to send his son to study medicine at Agra. He returned as Dr Sham Singh in 1904 with the L.S.M.F. degree.
He was appointed a warrant officer in the HM Native Military Forces in 1904. He served till 1906. Thereafter, he was commissioned as a doctor in the Patiala State Army. He was upgraded to the British Army as assistant surgeon. Later, he was posted overseas during the first World War. He served in West Asia and North Africa. In 1920, he was posted at Quetta, Rawalpindi cantonment.
In 1929, he started his practice at the growing Chaura Bazar. He was a specialist in snakebite and TB. He breathed his last in 1970 at 88. He was an example of simple living, useful thinking and sharing assets. Dr Chaman Lal Syal was his friend and neighbour. They would often call upon Dr Raghbir Singh. Both laughed heartily. Both had glowing faces and flowing beards.
In a sandy and bushy track, he built his famous house, The Hermitage, on the nearly forgotten Emerson Road, the Mall, which is now called Dr Sham Singh Road.
There are also other roads named after doctors like Dr Gujjar Mal Thapar, Edith Brown, the better known Miss Brown or Dr Brown and Dr Hira Singh.
