The outfit’s general secretary was rushed to a private hospital in Dimapur after complaining of uneasiness Saturday evening

The condition of Thuingaleng Muivah, the general secretary of the Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland, is stable, the extremist group said on Sunday. The 87-year-old NSCN (I-M) leader was rushed to a private hospital in Nagaland’s commercial hub Dimapur on Saturday evening after he complained of “uneasiness”. Doctors at the hospital said he was admitted in the intensive care unit after a drop in the oxygen saturation level. Mr. Muivah had reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 a day after a meeting with the members of the Core Committee on Naga Political Issue led by Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on July 21. He tested negative on July 23, a spokesperson of the outfit said.
