Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa is celebrating her 64th birthday today in a rather green way. After asking cadres to not have any ostentatious celebrations, Jayalalithaa has launched a massive afforestation programme. Sixty four lakh saplings would be planted across the state to increase the state's green cover from 21 per cent to 30 per cent.
