Jeetendra Mishra, the newly appointed CEO of the Ram temple trust, attended his inaugural meeting with members and office-bearers at the trust's Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Kshetra office in Ayodhya on Thursday, September 3, 2026. Mishra briefed on the trust's functioning, accounting, and administrative arrangements during the meeting. He expressed that he would take a few days to grasp his responsibilities. The meeting was followed by the appointment of new officials, including General Secretary Govind Dev Giri, Treasurer Mahesh Bhagchandka, and trustees Madan Mohan Pandey and Nirmala Yadav. The restructuring aims to enhance the trust's administrative and financial efficiency amidst the growing responsibilities related to the Ram temple. Mishra, a 62-year-old former Air Marshal, arrived in Ayodhya from Delhi by flight and offered prayers at the Ram temple. The CEO's appointment followed a controversy over alleged embezzlement of temple donations, leading to arrests and the resignation of general secretary Champat Rai.",
