Pathak clarified that the Trust operates as an autonomous entity, independent of central government control, financing, or ownership. Addressing concerns regarding the oversight of the temple, she distinguished between administrative and spiritual duties. While saints will continue to preserve religious rituals and traditions, Mishra is tasked with the logistical heavy lifting, including financial oversight, infrastructure development, security, and managing services for the millions of pilgrims visiting Ayodhya.
Mishra, a former Western Air Command leader decorated with the Uttam Yuddh Seva Medal, arrived at Vaidehi Bhawan on Friday to consult with Trust treasurer Swami Govind Dev Giri Ji Maharaj. With 39 years of service in the Indian Air Force, the new CEO stated he is currently prioritizing a comprehensive review of the temple's existing systems. He intends to coordinate closely with the board to finalize future strategies, noting that formal plans will be disclosed once his assessment is complete. His appointment coincided with board discussions regarding the 2025-26 annual accounts and ongoing investigations into financial irregularities.
