Former Minister Nembang, who had reached Phungling to attend a UML Taplejung Secretariat meeting fell unconscious suddenly on Wednesday.
After he fell unconscious in Phungling, he was airlifted to Lalitpur-based Mediciti Hospital for treatment. According to Nembang's secretariat, his health is gradually improving.
His personal secretary Ganesh Yonjan said, "His senses are better today than yesterday. The right side of his body is not moving." Nembang is being treated at Mediciti's ICU, he added.
"He is currently being treated at the ICU," he said, "after some improvement, he will be shifted to a cabin in consultation with the doctor."
