Ram Mandir trust limited to observational role, contractors manage operations
Officials just broke down how things actually work at the Ram Mandir.
Turns out, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has a purely observational role in daily cash handling and material purchases, while day-to-day stuff like building, cash counting, and security is left to L&T, SBI, Sainik Security Services, and technical supervisors from IIT Roorkee, IIT Madras, CBRI, and Tata Consulting Engineers.
Ram Mandir donations counted under safeguards
L&T took care of all construction materials (worth a whopping ₹1,861 crore), with technical supervision from IIT Roorkee, IIT Madras, CBRI, and Tata Consulting Engineers.
SBI and Sainik Security Services manage donation counting with tight protocols: think pocketless uniforms and 24x7 police access to CCTV feeds following the breach by external counting staff.
Official sources say claims of missing gold or silver offerings have been dismissed as baseless; all precious metal offerings, including silver bricks and high-value idols, are preserved under a strict register-backed, joint-custody locker system to keep things transparent.
