- The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has overhauled its donation-counting operations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple, dismissing all 36 legacy staff members and replacing them with authorized personnel from the State Bank of India.
- This operational reset follows a confirmed theft of donations and has prompted a broader internal screening of 349 temple employees.
- The move shifts sensitive financial handling from internal temple staff to a regulated banking partner, signaling a tightening of oversight and accountability protocols.
- Donors, devotees, and regulators will closely watch whether the new SBI-managed process restores confidence in the temple’s financial transparency.
- The broader employee screening suggests the Trust is assessing systemic risks or potential collusion beyond the immediate theft case.
- 下一步需观察新流程的执行效果以及是否影响日常捐款入账效率。

- Track results of the 349-employee screening for further accountability actions.
