The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust decided to implement 100 per cent verification for all Ram temple staff, which includes mandatory police verification, character certificates, and detailed family information.
The stricter administrative measures and staff checks were initiated following a theft of offerings at the temple that came to light in June, leading to eight arrests and the filing of a major chargesheet.
The staff verification drive and broader administrative overhaul are being undertaken under the leadership of retired Air Marshal Jitendra Mishra, the temple's newly appointed chief executive officer who assumed charge last month.
