A team of Dawn News, currently monitorring situation actively in the region was requested immediately to cover but failed to reach on the day. Consequently, a team of Geo News, finally managed to reach on Monday, took few shots and within few minutes athorities bowed before pressure and all items were shifted to their destination. One thing is apparent in such cases, most of the news channels were prototyped; if one manage to cover other would naturally find its way to that place. Source: voiceofhunza.blogspot.com
