- Trust relieved key members, improving monitoring and devotee facilities.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has decided to carry out 100 per cent verification of all staff working at the Ram temple in Ayodhya as part of enhanced security measures following the donation theft row.
The verification process will include police verification, character certificates and detailed information about employees’ families and relatives. Police-issued character certificates will also be mandatory for the temple staff, news agency PTI report.
The decision comes amid tightened security and administrative measures following the theft of offerings at the temple that came to light in June this year. Eight people were arrested in connection with the case, and all the accused are currently in jail. A 70,000-page chargesheet was filed in the case last week.

“Whatever decision the Trust takes will be accepted by everyone. The worship rituals are proceeding smoothly, donations are being received properly and a large number of devotees are visiting the temple for darshan and aarti,” Das told PTI Videos.
As part of the wider administrative overhaul, the Trust has also increased monitoring of its staff and is focusing on improving facilities for devotees.
