Ram Temple Trust Appoints Retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra as First CEO
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has appointed retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra as its first full-time Chief Executive Officer (CEO) following a rigorous selection process involving over 5,500 applicants. This move aims to strengthen the temple's administrative and financial management after a donation theft controversy led to arrests and resignations. Alongside Mishra's appointment, three new trustees—Madan Mohan Pandey, Mahesh Bhagchandka, and Nirmala Yadav—were inducted. Opposition leaders, including Akhilesh Yadav, have raised concerns about past irregularities and the BJP's role, while the Trust emphasizes transparency and professional administration.
