Trust committee approves seasonal dress code
The new dress code shifts with the seasons (silk dhotis and uttariyas in summer, woolen yellow outfits in winter), approved by the Trust's religious committee.
The Special Investigation Team separately recommended pocketless uniforms for the counting staff, donation process videography, and weekly audits to help prevent future fraud.
