Ram Temple Trust Tightens Donation Surveillance with 360° Cameras
The Ram temple in Ayodhya has started using special cameras that can see in all directions to watch every step of how people give money.
A team of eight people, including bank workers and security guards, watches the process.
They empty donation boxes on different days, seal the filled boxes with a bank official, and record everything.
This started on July 25 after a theft investigation.
The trust says this will stop any money from being stolen and will keep improving safety.
The trust has installed 360‑degree cameras to record every donation box handling step.
An eight‑member monitoring team, including bank staff, trust reps, and security, oversees the process.
Donation boxes are emptied on staggered days, and filled boxes are sealed by State Bank of India officials.
The new system began on July 25 amid a Special Investigation Team probe into alleged theft.
The trust assures that no money can be lost and will continue to improve security.
