Jeetendra Mishra: Kargil to Operation Sindoor, meet new Ram Mandir CEO

Air Marshal (retd.) Jeetendra Mishra, who has served in the Indian Air Force for nearly 40 years, has been appointed as the first full-time CEO of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. This trust oversees the construction and management of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Mishra's appointment comes shortly after the donation theft controversy surrounding the temple site.

His extensive military experience includes commanding the Air Force's Western Air Command during Operation Sindoor in May 2025, a military response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Mishra's appointment is significant as he becomes the first full-time CEO of the trust, aimed at providing dedicated leadership for the temple's administrative responsibilities.
