Ram Temple Trust Overhauls Donation Counting With Pocketless Uniforms, CCTV

The Ram Temple in Ayodhya, India, is a very special temple that many people visit.

Visitors give donations, which means they leave money to support the temple.

Because so many people visit, the temple receives a lot of money, and the people in charge want to make sure it stays safe.

They made new rules to count the money carefully.

Workers who count the money now wear special uniforms that have no pockets, so they cannot secretly take any money.

Workers are also checked when they enter and leave the counting room, and cameras keep recording for 180 days — much longer than before.

The bank that helps with the money was asked to use its own workers, with better pay, instead of temporary workers.

The temple leaders are also choosing a new chief officer, and many people applied for the job.

All of these rules are meant to keep the donations safe and make sure everything is done honestly and openly.
