Manipur BJP MLA Vungzagin Valte Airlifted to Gurugram as Chief Minister Oversees Evacuation

The new chief minister used the evacuation to promise state protection for Kuki‑Zo people traveling to Imphal.

Overview

  • Vungzagin Valte was flown from Imphal to Medanta – The Medicity Hospital in Gurugram after his condition worsened and improved enough for transfer.
  • He was first admitted to the ICU at Churachandpur Medical College Hospital for stabilisation following a sudden deterioration in health.
  • Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh monitored the case overnight, sent an advanced life‑support ambulance with doctors, and coordinated tele‑consults with Imphal specialists.
  • The district deputy commissioner and two BJP MLAs escorted Valte to Imphal, where the chief minister received him before the air ambulance departed around 4:30 p.m.
  • Valte was grievously injured in a May 2023 mob attack, with family and reports noting lasting effects, and the chief minister has now publicly pledged safety for Kuki‑Zo individuals visiting the capital.
