GUWAHATI: NSCN-IM common 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 sickness.

“As of now, he is doing well. He had an upset stomach due to indigestion,” W Saya, a senior member of the extremist group, informed this newspaper.

Muivah, who was admitted to Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research, is the NSCN-IM’s chief negotiator within the peace talks.
