KARACHI: India and Pakistan signed an agreement on Thursday allowing Indian pilgrims to cross the border to a Sikh shrine in Pakistan.

It is rare cooperation between the nuclear-armed rivals at a time of tension and clashes elsewhere on their frontier, international media reported.

The pact will introduce visa-free access from India to the Pakistani town of Kartarpur, home to a temple that marks the site where the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, died.
