Ram temple trust puts off appointment of CEO and 3 members

The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust deferred key appointments and restructured religious oversight. A nine-member committee, including five seers, will now manage temple responsibilities. Decisions on the chief executive officer and new trustees were postponed for further review. The trust expressed dissatisfaction with SBI's donation counting system and replaced staff. Public faith was not perceived as dented by donation counting controversies.
