'5,200 applications have been received' for CEO post: Ram Mandir Trust holds second meeting after donation row

NEW DELHI: The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust on Wednesday held its second meeting in Ayodhya since the alleged donation embezzlement case surfaced, reviewing administrative matters as the probe continues.

The trust said it has received 5,200 applications for the post of CEO of the Ram Mandir, but has deferred the appointment by a month to allow the selection committee more time to scrutinise the applications. It also announced plans to set up a permanent institute to train and certify priests for the temple.
