LUCKNOW, Sept. 2 -- The trust managing the Ayodhya Ram temple is likely to decide on the name of the chief executive officer (CEO) and its deed amendment on Wednesday, besides deliberating on a series of other issues amid the row over alleged donation irregularities at the shrine. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust will meet in two sittings. The first is scheduled from 2pm to 3pm and the second from 4pm to 6pm, with a 12-point agenda. This will be the third such gathering since the alleged donation theft came to light. Changes in the deed are likely to incorporate new rules, regulations and powers of the CEO. This will be the first such amendment since the creation of the Trust on February 5, 2020, said sources. The amendment is also likely to create a legal window for the re-entry of Champat Rai in the Trust. The meeting, which comes in the wake of the controversy over the alleged theft of offerings and the resignation of former general secretary of the temple trust Champat Rai, will be held at the place of the president of the Ram Mandir Trust, Nritya Gopal Das, in Maniramdas Chhawani. Rai, then general secretary of the Trust that manages the Ayodhya Ram Temple, and trustee Anil Mishra had resigned on June 26, a day after the UP Police lodged a case over alleged irregularities in donations for the shrine. The meeting will also see the formation of a permanent Local Security Coordination Committee under the general secretary to handle temple security. Appointment of the official press spokesperson, which has been pending for months, is also listed. The process for the CEO's appointment began on July 6. A committee set up for the appointment screened 5,585 applications before shortlisting 111 for online interviews. Sixteen candidates were called to Ayodhya for face-to-face interviews. Justice (retd) Pramod Kohli, the screening committee chairman, and members Lt Gen (Retd) VK Chaturvedi and scientist-industrialist Suresh Haware arrived in Ayodhya late on Monday and handed over a sealed letter to Trust chairman, Mahant Nritya Gopal Das Maharaj, with three shortlisted names. People aware of the matter said the shortlisted names will be deliberated and the CEO's name will be announced on Wednesday. Nripendra Mishra, chairman of the Ram Mandir Construction Committee, called a full-time CEO critical to bringing professional administration and transparency. The trust has said that it will define the CEO's powers, with no government interference. The CEO will report to the trust's general secretary and is expected to formulate long-term plans. The CEO will discharge all statutory, administrative and financial responsibilities. The trust has said the CEO will develop systems, procedures and operational practices appropriate to the nature and scale of the organisation, and build and strengthen its structure. The CEO will serve as the highest executive authority, ensuring efficient management and future development and ensuring compliance with all statutory, regulatory and trust deed requirements. The trust will also review a SIT probe into donation theft and the status of proceedings pending in the Supreme Court. The SIT's final report into allegations of irregularities in the Ram Temple collections flagged "gross lapses" in the Trust's functioning. But it exonerated Champat Rai, who was forced to step down as the general secretary of the trust amid alleged donation irregularities, and a former trustee. The UP government constituted the SIT on June 13. It filed its interim report on July 20. The Supreme Court set up a second SIT on July 20. The SIT named Ram Shankar Yadav, or Tinnu Yadav, a former aide and driver of Rai, as the mastermind behind the alleged diversion of funds. Yadav is one of eight men arrested in connection with the allegations. The controversy first surfaced on June 7 when Opposition Samajwadi Party leader Tej Narayan 'Pawan' Pandey alleged that donations worth Rs.5 crore to Rs.7.5 crore were siphoned off from temple offerings. On June 13, the state government set up the SIT. HT reported that six of the eight arrested men were on the payroll of a Varanasi-based security agency that provided manpower to SBI, allegedly at the recommendation of Trust members....
