Unusual episode at Ram Mandir: Devotee from Chennai with ₹3 in bank gave ₹4-cr cheque but donated ₹10k separately
As per reports, the woman, who is based out of Coimbatore, wanted the ₹4 crore she claimed she was donating to be used for the benefit of the workers of the temple.
In a recent incident at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, a woman from Chennai attempted to make a significant donation to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. However, her ₹4-crore cheque bounced when the bank discovered that her account only held ₹3. The woman, originally from Coimbatore, had also made a separate donation of ₹10,000.
Despite her initial intention to fund the temple's workers, the Trust was unable to assure her that the ₹4 crore would be used for this purpose. The Trust is currently working to resolve the situation with the woman and discuss a resolution. In a previous campaign, the Trust collected ₹3,500 in 45 days. Currently, ₹22 crore remains unrecovered from bounced cheques.
The Trust will meet on Wednesday to appoint the first CEO of the Ram Mandir, with the decision expected to be agreed upon by all members.
