I Myself Have Watched This Beautiful Splendid Building Whenever I Happened To Pass Railway Road From My Childhood. Its Upper Storey Is Demolished Now As It Was Declared As 'Dangerous Building' By The Government. It Is Said By The Senior Students That It Is Declared As Dangerous Building Due To Student's Negative Activities. Otherwise Then, Its Condition Was Not Too Bad To Declare As Dangerous Building. Once This Building Was Pearl Of Railway Road Kasur And Looked Very Splendid.

Shahmed Khan (1 July 1879 – 28 July 1947) was an Indian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry and Valour in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. A Punjabi Muslim Rajput from District Rawalpindi in modern Pakistan, he was 36 years old, and a Naik in the 89th Punjabis, British Indian Army (now 1st Battalion the Baloch Regiment, Pakistan Army) during the First World War. He served on the Tigris Front in Mesopotamia, when the following deed took place, for which he was awarded the VC:

"Shahamad Khan was in charge of a machine-gun section 150 yards from the enemy's position, covering a gap in the New Line at Beit Ayeesa, Mesopotamia on 12th/13 April 1916. After all his men, apart from two belt-fillers, had become casualties, Shamahad Khan, working the gun single-handed, repelled three counter-attacks. Under extremely heavy fire, he continued to hold the gap, whilst it was being made secure, for three hours. When his gun was disabled by enemy fire, he and the two belt-fillers continued to hold the ground with their rifles until they were ordered to retire. Along with the three men who were sent to his assistance, he brought back to his own lines, his gun, ammunition and a severely wounded man. Eventually he returned to remove all remaining arms and equipment, except for two shovels. But for his action, the line would undoubtedly have been penetrated by the enemy."
He later achieved the rank of Subedar. He is buried in his ancestral village of Takhti, Pakistan.
