Biography

Ghulam Rasool was born on May 1936 in a small village. At that time, education in villages was very rare and difficult. But Ghulam Rasool worked very hard and completed his matric (10th class) from Government High School, Salarwala.

In February 1955, he joined the police as a constable at Qurban Lines, Lahore. After years of dedication, he became RI (Reserve Inspector) in the Motor Transport (MT) Police. Later, he served as DSP (Deputy Superintendent of Police) in Sargodha Telecommunication Police. He then returned to Lahore as DSP in the MT Police. In 1995, he was promoted to SP (Superintendent of Police) in the Telecommunication Police Lahore, where he looked after the whole Punjab region. He also worked as SP in MT Punjab Wing. He retired on 14 May 1996 after serving for 41 years.

Even after retirement, Ghulam Rasool never stopped working for the people. In 2000, he contested in the Union Council elections of Pakistan. He won with the election symbol “moon” and became Union Nazim.

Ghulam Rasool passed away on 21 April 2021, during the holy month of Ramadan (8th Ramadan). He is remembered as an honest and kind man who served his village and country with great passion.

Contributions & Achievements

When Ghulam Rasool became Union Nazim in 2000, he started many development projects in the village. He improved the village streets by fixing levels and adding bricks. He also rebuilt the village's drainage (sewerage) system, which was in very poor condition. Almost 40% of the sewerage and 20% of brick streets were completed under his leadership. Mr. Saeed Iqbal (Late) helped him a lot in managing and supervising this work.

Ghulam Rasool also made big improvements in the village’s electricity system. He arranged for the installation of new electricity poles and upgraded old ones. New transformers were also added to provide stable electricity to the whole village. Mr. Abdul Sattar, Mr. Muhammad Akram (from WAPDA), Mian Shehbaz, and Saeed Iqbal S/O Abdul Ghani supported him in this.

When the headmaster of Government High School, Mr. Abdul Sattar, warned that the school might lose its high school status without a proper boundary wall, Ghulam Rasool built it and saved the school.

He also helped change a planned underpass into a flyover on the motorway, making travel safer for villagers. Additionally, he renovated the Union Council office with new furniture. Ghulam Rasool never sought fame but made a big impact in a short time.
