Ram Temple Trust Defers CEO Appointment, Restructures Religious Committee

The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has postponed the appointment of a chief executive officer and three new trustees, pending further review. In a structural change, a nine-member committee comprising five seers will now oversee temple responsibilities. The trust also expressed dissatisfaction with the State Bank of India's donation counting system, leading to a replacement of related staff. These decisions emerged amid ongoing controversies surrounding the handling of public donations at the temple. Trust officials indicated that public confidence in the institution has not been significantly affected by the counting disputes.
