Ram Temple Trust Restores ID Cards Temporarily

The Ram temple trust in Ayodhya has temporarily restored ID cards and entry passes that were previously declared invalid.

These cards bear the signature of Champat Rai, who recently stepped down as the trust's general secretary.

The restoration is to ensure that construction and maintenance work at the temple continues smoothly.

A new pass system will be introduced after the administrative transition is completed.

The decision comes amid changes in the trust's administration following a controversy over the alleged misappropriation of gold and silver ornaments donated by devotees.
