GUWAHATI: NSCN-IM general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah fell sick on Friday and was admitted to a hospital in Dimapur.
He was airlifted from the outfit’s central headquarters Camp Hebron, 35 km away from Dimapur.
The NSCN-IM confirmed the octogenarian’s illness.
“As of now, he is doing well. He had an upset stomach due to indigestion,” W Saya, a senior member of the extremist group, told this newspaper.
Muivah, who was admitted to Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research, is the NSCN-IM’s chief negotiator in the peace talks.
