Himachal CM attends event celebrating International Yoga Day in Amsterdam
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Sunday attended an event celebrating International Day of Yoga at the Dam Square here.
The yoga event was organised by the Indian Embassy in the Netherlands.
Thakur is on a visit to the Netherlands and Germany to promote 'Rising Himachal Global Investors' Meet' slated to be held in the state later this year.
The International Day of Yoga will mark its fifth anniversary this year on June 21.

PM Modi founded the Ministry of AYUSH which deals with natural methods of treatment including Yoga, Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha.
Union Minister of State for Ministry of AYUSH, Shripad Yesso Naik, had announced 'Yoga for the heart' as the theme for this year's Yoga Day.
