Sri Lanka's national television broadcaster resumes operations following takeover by protesters

Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation, the national television network of the island have resumed their reporting after being forced to suspend their operations due to a takeover by protesters. 

Protesters stormed the corporation's offices earlier today despite a state of emergency being imposed by recently appointed President Ranil Wickremesinghe.  

 

A protestor was seen addressing the cameras earlier.

A second state television broadcaster has now reportedly also gone off air less than an hour after Rupavahini temporarily suspended their operations.
