"It is unfortunate that violence happened here. Today, I want to promise you that the Government of India is with you and I am with you," he said.
After his address in Churachandpur, he left to address another gathering in Imphal. The Prime Minister is scheduled to lay foundation stones for development projects worth Rs 8,500 crore.
