The need to have an organized body to take charge of properties and maintenance of General Sardar Sham Singh Attariwala Smadhs Complex and to hold regular meetings to provide Social, Cultural, Historical and patriotic opportunities to the people of the region has been in existence for many years. But this could be achieved only after Brig. S. Jasbir Singh of Attari took upon himself and discussed this issue with available cross-section of family members and as a result of that ‘GENERAL SARDAR SHAM SINGH ATTARIWALA TRUST’ came into being.

The first meeting was convened at the residence of Brig. S. Jasbir Singh of Attari, 125, Staff Road, Ambala Cantt. on 04th Jan 1998 and to record the glorious event a group photograph was also taken, aptly Captioned ‘The Sirdars of  Attari’

With the relentless efforts on the part of Colonel Harinder Singh Attari and all the members of the First Governing Body, the Trust was formally incorporated on 9th Jan. 1998 by the Govt. of Punjab. The formation of the Trust is dedicated to all the Trustees who gave their personal interests of to-day to their larger interests of to-morrow

The historic first General Body Meeting, was held at the Circuit House, Amritsar on 9th Feb. 1998 at 5 PM, followed by Press Conference and release of a Press Note & this Directory.

General Sardar Sham Singh Attariwala Trust, owes its gratitude to all the Trustees, who will be the bearers of this Torch to carry forward and help to establish the foundation of this great organization, striving towards achieving and fighting for a noble cause, without a reflection of family intrigues, cast or creed.

Let us not forget the last words of the widow of General Sardar Sham Singh Attariwala, ‘the last satee’ of Punjab uttered before she plunged into fire, ‘Is shall which koi na koi kana kha rakda rehe ga’ So this Trust has come into being, which puts up a United Front and a pedestal for all the Trustees and the people of this area to join hands and demand from the Government the rightful recognition of this great warrior and development of the area to which he belonged and represented. We still remember Late Colonel Samer Pal Singh’s words:­-

“ Had-se barre andhere to ana para mujhe
  Bazme jahan mein Shamma-e- Frozan leeye hue”

Carry that ‘Shmma-e-Frozan’ forward and keep it burning forever and ever.
