Ram Temple Trust Names Retd Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra As First Full-Time CEO Amid Donation Row

The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has named retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra as the first full-time CEO of the Ram Temple, according to sources. Mishra was selected from a shortlist drawn from 5,585 applications. The Trust has also appointed three new trustees — Mahesh Bhagchandka, Madan Mohan Pandey and Nirmala Yadav. The appointments come amid controversy over alleged temple donation embezzlement, which led to eight arrests and Champat Rai’s resignation. The new CEO will oversee administration, organisational development, operations and statutory compliance.
