Several other news channels have tried to show news of the ongoing unrest in the country. Here is some footage I found on Youtube of 92 News.



92 News is not available as well. But you can find some news broadcasts from their channel here.

In the news, Pakistani police is seen throwing tear gas and using water gun against civilians throwing stones. A protest that started almost two weeks ago with only a thousand people more or less, escalated towards violence today when armed forces and police with combined strength of 4,000 men started dispersing protesters.
