The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is conducting interviews to appoint its first full-time Chief Executive Officer (CEO) following allegations of donation embezzlement. Eighteen candidates, shortlisted from over 5,200 applicants, including former bureaucrats, military officers, and temple officials, are being interviewed by a three-member panel in Ayodhya. The process involves questions on administrative experience, religious practices, and vision for the temple.
