GUWAHATI: Manipur’s Kuki-Zo MLA Vungzagin Valte was airlifted from Imphal to New Delhi on Saturday for advanced medical treatment at Medanta – The Medicity Hospital in Gurugram. Valte (61), who was grievously injured during the ethnic violence in Imphal in May 2023, had been staying in Churachandpur after undergoing prolonged treatment in Delhi. His condition worsened on Friday, prompting his admission to the ICU at Churachandpur Medical College Hospital for stabilisation. Doctors in Imphal remained in constant contact with the medical team in Churachandpur through teleconferencing. As Valte’s condition showed signs of improvement on Saturday, arrangements were made to evacuate him by air ambulance to Delhi.
