On the Indian side, the Jodhpur–Munabao line was totally converted into broad gauge in the year 2003 and the Indian immigration and customs office developed at railway station for customs checks which are currently carried out. Whereas on the Pakistan side, the Khokhrapar–Hyderabad line was totally re-converted back to the original broad gauge and also the railway station was also developed in the year 2006, a few hundred meters from the border, where immigration and customs checks are currently carried out. This enabled both the nations to sign an MoU to reopen the rail link. This was not possible earlier because there would be a change of gauge in between, either at Hyderabad or Mirpur Khas. Prior to 1965, the last Pakistani station was railway station, about 10 kilometers from the border.
