Two streets in the county of Surrey in British Columbia were dedicated to Bhagat Puran Singh, a missionary and the founder of the All India Pingalwara Society in Amritsar.

Giving this information, President of the society, Dr Inderjeet Kaur, who had recently returned from a month-long tour of Canada, said that Bhagat Puran Singh worked to protect nature’s bounties and as such the administrator of Surrey had decided to commemorate his services.

Dr Inderjeet Kaur said a blood donation camp was also organised on the occasion.The president of Pingalwara Society said she was overwhelmed and deeply touched by the generosity of the people of Canada who had been kind enough to offer specially-designed wheelchairs for physically-challenged children to participate in the Special Olympics.

Dr Inderjeet Kaur said the number of at the society inmates had shown considerable inclination for basketball and other games. “The society will add more games and engage special coaches to train them so that they could participate in the national and international events on regular basis.”
