History

The railway station was first established during the British Raj as part of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway,[1] however it was later incorporated into Main Line 2 (Kotri–Attock Line), and heavy remodeling of the station was completed around 1972 by The Ministry of Railways.[2]

The stations served the village Basti-Abdullah and the nearby city of Kashmore (which also has its own separate station).[3]

The station and the nearby village are both named after Maulana Abdullah Ghazi.[4]
