What happened
A trust has created a nine-member committee to manage religious affairs and examine the temple's functioning. The committee will look at the temple's organisation, day-to-day operations, and possible reforms in administration.
The decision follows controversy over temple-related conduct and questions about management practices. The trust's response indicates an internal review of how the institution is run and what changes may be needed.
Why this matters for UPSC
The development is relevant to GS2 governance because it concerns accountability, oversight, and reform in a trust-managed religious institution. It also connects to the wider UPSC theme of how traditional institutions adapt administrative structures when public confidence is affected.
