Himachal Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Wednesday wished Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama on his 87th birthday as celebrations were held at Dharamshala in the state. Thakur attended the celebrations virtually from Shimla. The chief minister had a pre-scheduled programme to personally attend the spiritual leader's birthday celebrations at Dharamshala, but due to unfavourable weather conditions, he virtually attended the event, he said. Thakur talked about the energy and dedication with which the Dalai Lama is working towards humanity and spirituality and said the spiritual leader has preserved the historical and cultural heritage of the people of Tibet.
