This track is important for the movement of the Army.

Shakargarh station is the biggest station in the Narowal to Chak Amru section. It is the city of 8 lakh peoples and it includes many villages.

Shakargarh is part of Narowal district. Before partition Shakargarh was tehsil of Gurdaspur.

The Shahdrabagh to Narowal track is poorly maintained. Its maximum speed is now 40/50 kph. A previous government spent 359 million rupees on Narowal railway station. Only three trains run on this branch line.

Narowal to Chak Amru section

The line originally ran from Shahdara Bagh Junction station to Chak Amru station, but was later shortened to only reach Narowal. Residents living along the closed section demanded that the section be reopened, including Shakargarh MPA Ghayasuddin.

Railway minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed stated that the Kartarpur station would be reconstructed to ease the journey for Sikh pilgrims. In February 2017, the Ministry of Railways began a new study for the reconstruction of the 45 kilometers (28 mi) section.[3]
