    PM Narendra Modi addresses the public at Imphal

    Modi arrived at around 12 noon to address a rally in the poll-bound state.

    The entire city was put under a heavy security blanket to avoid any untoward incident.

    Very few vehicles were seen on the streets of Imphal. All shops except a few medicine stores, which were kept outside the purview of the bandh, were closed.

    Other essential services were exempted from the shutdown.

    The state-wide bandh call was given from 6 AM till Modi leaves the state.
