Ram Temple Trust Defers CEO and General Secretary Appointments, Forms Religious Committee
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust held a meeting in Ayodhya addressing administrative and religious affairs amid allegations of donation theft. The Trust deferred appointing a permanent General Secretary and its first Chief Executive Officer (CEO), citing the need for more time to review over 5,200 CEO applications. An interim secretary and a spokesperson were appointed to manage operations and communications. A nine-member Dharmik Committee of saints was formed to oversee religious activities. The Trust is also reviewing its banking relationship with the State Bank of India pending a Special Investigation Team report. The next meeting is scheduled for September 2 to finalize pending appointments.
