The Ram Temple Trust in Ayodhya has reached a significant administrative milestone by appointing retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra as its first-ever Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Mishra, a highly decorated veteran famous for his leadership during Operation Sindoor, officially took charge on September 2. His appointment is expected to bring military-grade precision and organizational expertise to the management of one of India's most prominent religious sites.
This administrative shift comes at a time when the temple continues to see a massive influx of devotees from across the globe. As the CEO, Jeetendra Mishra will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations, security protocols, and the ongoing infrastructure projects surrounding the temple complex. His vast experience in logistics and strategic planning is seen as a major asset for the Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust.

- CBI probe ordered — Bombay High Court transfers Disha Salian death case to central agency
- Nepal flood tragedy — Death toll rises to 1,127 as search for missing persons intensifies
- FSSAI hotel warning — Watchdog mandates strict hygiene compliance for 5-star hospitality firms
In another major development, the Bombay High Court has ordered the CBI to take over the investigation into the death of Disha Salian. Salian, who was the former manager of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died in 2020. The court expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Mumbai Police, noting that the failure to register an FIR for six years raised serious questions about the transparency of the initial probe.
The legal landscape in New Delhi also saw heated exchanges as Union Minister Kiren Rijiju slammed the Congress party for questioning the nation's GDP figures. Rijiju suggested that the opposition was out of touch with reality, accusing them of being blinded by political loathing. This verbal duel underscores the deepening divide between the treasury and opposition benches over the country's economic trajectory and growth statistics.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra politics heated up in Nashik as the BJP staged protests against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The ruling party accused the Congress of historical opposition to women's reservations, a claim that was met with a sharp rebuttal from Prithviraj Chavan, who brought up the RSS's stance on social issues. These skirmishes are seen as a precursor to the upcoming state assembly elections, where gender representation is expected to be a key theme.
On the regulatory front, the FSSAI has issued a stern warning to luxury hotel operators across India. Following reports of multiple hygiene violations, the food safety watchdog has mandated a zero-tolerance policy for any lapses in food safety norms. Leading 5-star hospitality firms have been directed to strictly adhere to the established benchmarks, with the threat of heavy penalties or license cancellations for non-compliance.
The humanitarian crisis in Nepal continues to worsen as the flood death toll reached 1,127 on Wednesday. Rescuers are working against time to locate thousands of people who remain missing a week after the flash floods devastated the Himalayan nation. Kathmandu has requested international aid to assist with the massive rehabilitation efforts required to rebuild destroyed infrastructure and provide medical care to the survivors.
Finally, the Delhi High Court made a landmark observation regarding labor rights, stating that maternity leave should not negatively impact an employee's career growth or role. The court emphasized that such benefits are a fundamental right and should not be used as a tool for workplace discrimination. This ruling is expected to have a far-reaching impact on corporate policies regarding parental leave and gender equality in the Indian workforce.
