00:00Ram Mandir Trust and other office bearers meeting of the trust that is set to take place at 4pm today
00:06is the latest that is just coming in where the final names are likely to be announced.
00:11People whose names are making the rounds for the post of CEO, those names are being discussed.
00:17For the CEO of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir Trust that include
00:22Encounter Specialist Rajesh Pandey,
00:25Bihar ITS Paresh Saxena,
00:27Former ITS Dinesh Chandra,
00:30Former IIS Officer Yogeshwar Ram Mishra.
00:34Among the 16 names that have been shortlisted so far,
00:37most are officers who have held high positions in the bureaucracy and the army.
00:43The three member committee submitted its report to the trust
00:47and the names that are likely to be announced today in that meeting at 4pm that is set to happen.
00:53Following the trust meeting, the names for the CEO and other vacant positions
00:57within the trust may be announced today are the details we are picking up from our sources.
01:03Let me take this to my colleague Samad Srivastav to get the names of the front runners
01:08and what is expected to happen in the meeting at 4pm today.
01:15See, there's a lot of buzz about the names like who will be the next CEO of the Ram Jan
01:19Mohmiti Chetri Trust.
01:21But of all of them, Rajesh Pandey, who is the former IPS, has served as SSP Lakhno as well,
01:26is the front runner it seems as per the sources.
01:29But the final announcement regarding the name of the CEO will take place at around 4-6pm
01:35when that particular meeting will happen and conclude by around 5-6pm.
01:38Then the official announcement will be made by the trust.
01:41And it's not just about the CEO but also about the three vacant posts of the Temple Trust.
01:46One due to that particular demise and two of Champathra and Anil Mishra.
01:51So, it is also being concerned whether the remaining three posts which are vacant for now
01:56could be filled by adding some names.
01:58And also another point to be added here is the role of Krishna Mohan.
02:03He is a temporary master chief of that particular trust.
02:05But it's going to be worth seeing whether he will be replaced by someone or not
02:08because there's a lot of buzz about Vimalendra, about many other Bangla and VHP leaders
02:14who are making the rounds around Ayodhya.
02:16So, it's going to be worth seeing.
02:17And if you talk about this particular entire procedure of the CEO thing,
02:20it was a vast process.
02:22More than 5,000 people in a way participated in this particular matter.
02:27But later on, it left to around 16-17 people and later it came down to three.
02:32And that particular list of having three names of the CEO being fixed by the committee
02:36handed over to the trust last evening.
02:38And now, in today's meeting, the trust will finalise the name of the CEO amongst the three.
02:43And that's why the entire meeting is being set up.
02:45It's not just about the CEO.
02:47Another name that will be announced today is of the PRO
02:49because trust feels that during that particular embezzlement coverage,
02:53many things came on social media which were not verified.
02:56And that's why the need of the PRO is very important in the trust who will coordinate with the media
03:00and also will let the social media even know about what's happening inside the trust.
03:05And that's why it has become very important for the PRO as well.
03:09And not just PRO, some security reasons, security measures could be added in this particular thing.
03:13And CEO will be the person who will be responsible for the entire thing.
03:16Back to you.
03:18All right, Samat, many thanks for getting us those details.
03:21Of course, we'll come back to you for all the latest updates
03:23as we remind our viewers that the meeting is set to happen at 4pm this afternoon.
