Ram temple donation row: SIT quizzes Trust member
- Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Mishra proposed appointing a full-time Chief Executive Officer to manage the Ayodhya complex, citing the need for dedicated professional oversight.
- The suggestion comes amid a Special Investigation Team probe into alleged misappropriation of donation funds, with senior IAS officer Vijay Vishwas Pant leading the three-member team examining temple donation systems.
- With nearly 100,000 daily visitors, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust oversees the 71 acre complex, comprising 15 members with 12 nominated by the Centre.
- Mishra argued the administrator should maintain operational autonomy under the trust while avoiding serving officials due to transfer complications; the position requires five to seven years of round-the-clock attention.
- Unlike the Tirupati temple model, the Ayodhya structure must prioritize the trust's autonomy, and the trust must ultimately decide whether to proceed with the appointment.
