In Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, an important decision has been made regarding the security of Ram Mandir. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra Trust has decided to conduct a full (100%) verification of all employees working at the temple. This check includes police verification as well as the requirement to provide character certificates issued by the police.
The Trust has requested complete information about the employees, including details about their relatives and family members. Thus, a background check of the personnel will be conducted. Both a police check and a certificate of good conduct are required for this.
Furthermore, the Trust has requested data on the families and relatives of the employees to gain a deeper understanding of their past. The temple administration continues to strengthen security measures. This decision was made after news broke about the theft of donations at the temple.
Indeed, an incident involving the misappropriation of donations occurred in June, resulting in the arrest of eight people. All accused are currently in prison. A charge sheet of 70 thousand pages was filed last week. Following this, the temple administration is implementing changes at several levels in terms of security and oversight.
The employee verification process is being carried out under the guidance of the temple's new Chief Executive Director, Air Marshal Jitendra Mishra, who took up the position last month. Major changes have also been made in the temple administration: former Trust General Secretary Champat Rai, Trust member Anil Mishra, and Gopal Rao have been relieved of their duties.
Trust member Dindendranath Das stated on Thursday that all decisions made by the Trust will be adopted by all parties. He added that religious ceremonies in the temple are proceeding without interruption, and the donation system is functioning properly. A large number of pilgrims are arriving at the temple, and visiting and aarti procedures continue.
The temple administration is now focusing on both strengthening personnel control and improving conditions for pilgrims. The goal of the changes implemented by the Trust administration is stated as strengthening security measures and overall organization.
