Ram Temple Trust Delays CEO Appointment
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is having a meeting in Ayodhya to talk about important jobs at the Ram Temple.
They wanted to pick the first boss (CEO) for the temple, but they haven't finished looking at all the people who applied.
So, they probably won't make a decision today.
They also need to fill three other empty jobs.
The Trust wants to make sure everything is run well and fairly, especially after some money went missing.
The new boss will help make sure the temple is taken care of and that everything is transparent.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust received over 5,200 applications for the CEO post.
The selection process for the CEO has been extended by four weeks.
The Trust is also considering filling three vacant positions, including those left by a deceased trustee and two resignations.
A nine-member religious committee has been reconstituted to ensure adherence to Vedic Ramanandi traditions.
The Trust plans to set up a permanent institute for training priests.
