An email from Wabang Longchar, a research scholar of History in the University of Hyderabad said that another research scholar Haireisim Newme was diagnosed with Leukemia early this morning. Newme is a scholar pursuing research in the Department of Comparative and Applied Linguistics, the email said. “He is an orphan, and the only guardian he had (an uncle), passed away a year ago.

Informing of the latest on Newme, Longchar said he has been shifted to the National Institute of Medical Sciences this afternoon. “His leukemia has reached stage-4. Part of his brain is damaged. Please pray for him and for the pastor in-charge, Naga Christian Fellowship of Hyderabad, as he has to make decisions on Hairie’s behalf,” the citizen appealed.
