Sources further said that the released workers would not be assigned any other duties on the temple premises, ending their connection with the donation management system.
Meanwhile, the laid-off workers have alleged that the private agency received nearly Rs 26,000 per employee, while they were paid only around Rs 15,000 per month.
They claimed they were removed without any personal wrongdoing and were not informed of any specific reason for their termination.
Neither the Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust nor the SBI issued an official statement on the matter.
The restructuring extends beyond the donation counting system.
According to sources, several long-serving contractors associated with cleaning, maintenance and other support services at the Ram Temple premises have also been removed.
Sources said the objective was to restructure the operational network, inducting a new set of personnel in both sensitive and routine functions, in a bid to improve transparency and strengthen institutional safeguards within the temple’s management system.
