A 25-year-old practising homeopathy has become the first Sikh to be appointed as a traffic warden in Pakistan.
Gulab Singh, who hails from the holy town of Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of Guru Nanak, joined the service in the rank of a Sub-Inspector.
He is the youngest of the siblings. Gulab completed his matriculation in Nankana district, graduation in Lahore and then received a doctorate in homeopathy from Bahawalpur. He is the second Sikh to be appointed in any of the forces, the first being in Army.
“The attitude of my fellow trainees and officers was very good towards me. Nobody ever forced me to do anything against my religious beliefs,” Singh said. He said he never had any problems wearing his kara (bangle), or keeping his kirpan (dagger) with him.
As he was a vegetarian, green meals were arranged for him in the mess during the training period, he added.
“I am very grateful to my officers for this gesture.” says Mr Singh.
Proud to see such Singhs offering their services to their Nation and Guru Sahib by retaining his Sikhi!
Dhan Sikhi! Dhan Khalsa!
