PIB's YouTube channel up and running, but misses PM's Yoga Day event

The Press Information Bureau's official YouTube channel was unblocked at 8 am today just after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's yoga event got over, a senior official said.

The channel was blocked as YouTube was updating its "partner agreements", a spokesperson for the website had said yesterday.

"YouTube unblocked PIB's YouTube channel today at 8 am," a senior official said today.

But PIB could not live stream the prime minister's event from the Uttarakhand capital Dehradun on International Yoga Day as the function got over at 8 am.

The problem was communicated to YouTube India yesterday, a PIB source said.

PIB India's YouTube channel had been experiencing a technical glitch because of which viewers were not able to access content on the channel, the source had said yesterday.

On trying to watch a video, an error message was displayed: 'This video contains content from Press Information Bureau. It is not available in your country."
