India Today
BJP MLA Vungzagin Valte, injured in a mob attack during Manipur's 2023 ethnic violence, has passed away at 61 in Gurugram. Leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi have paid tribute to his public service.
BJP MLA Vungzagin Valte from Manipur died at a private hospital in Gurugram on Friday after battling injuries sustained during the early stages of ethnic violence in 2023. Valte, a former minister and prominent member of the Zomi tribal community, hailed from Pherzawl district. He was 61. PM Modi expressed grief over the MLA’s death.
Valte, who represented the Thanlon Assembly Constituency and hailed from Pherzawl district, had been undergoing prolonged medical treatment following the attack in Imphal nearly two years ago.
Valte was a leader from the Zomi tribal community and a former minister. He was assaulted in May 2023 in Imphal’s Nagamapal area when ethnic violence erupted in the state.
The attack left him critically injured, prompting immediate medical attention and his subsequent transfer to Delhi for advanced treatment.
After nearly two years of care, he briefly returned to Churachandpur in April last year with his wife.
However, his health condition deteriorated sharply on February 7 this year.
