'Fraud Happened Because There Were Lapses': Govind Dev Giri on Temple Trust Row

In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Temple Trust Treasurer Govind Dev Giri acknowledges that "there were lapses" that allowed the alleged fraud to take place. He says the Trust will review the Special Investigation Team (SIT)'s final report at its meeting on July 22 before deciding on further action.

Govind Dev Giri also outlines key reforms already initiated, including the appointment of a CEO, stricter hiring procedures, and the introduction of more structured administrative oversight. He maintains that the full extent of the alleged irregularities will become clear only after the SIT submits its final report
