A high-powered panel on Tuesday is interviewing 18 candidates for appointment as the first full-time Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.
The Trust had decided to appoint a full-time CEO after the alleged Ram temple donation embezzlement came to light.
According to a senior functionary of the Trust, all the 18 candidates, shortlisted from 5,200 applicants, reached Ayodhya late on Monday night and
stayed at various locations in the temple town as suggested by the Trust.
The interview is being carried out in the conference room of the Ram temple’s pilgrim facilitation centre in Ayodhya.
If the interviews are not completed on Tuesday, the process may continue on Wednesday, sources in the Trust said.
The candidates reached the Ram temple complex at around 9 am and the interview process started at 10 am, they said.
