BJP MLA Vungzagin Valte, injured during the ethnic violence in Manipur earlier this year, has experienced a downturn in his health and was airlifted to Delhi for advanced medical care. The MLA, assaulted by a mob on May 4th, was recovering in his hometown before his condition suddenly worsened on Saturday.

Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh visited the airport in Imphal to meet Valte and offer his well-wishes. In a post on social media, Singh extended his best wishes for Valte's recovery, emphasizing his hope for the MLA's return to public service soon.

Valte's ordeal comes amid ongoing ethnic tensions in Manipur, which have resulted in significant casualties and displacement. Community leaders continue to express support for his recovery, looking forward to his active service and contribution to peace in the region.
