The Odisha government has made a recent decision to appoint Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja as the working chairman of the Shree Jagannath Temple Managing Committee. In his role as the chairman, Ahuja will be responsible for overseeing the management of the sacred temple, in addition to his current duties. This appointment was announced by the Law Department through a notification on Tuesday.
Ahuja, a seasoned 1990-batch IAS officer, has been given this additional responsibility to ensure the smooth functioning of the temple and its affairs. While the nominal head of the committee remains Puri Gajapati Maharaja Dibya Singha Deb, other members include the Shree Jagannath Temple chief administrator, Puri collector, SP, and ASI superintending archaeologist, along with 12 other members.

With Ahuja at the helm, the government is confident that the committee will continue to function effectively and uphold the sanctity of the temple. This appointment is a testament to Ahuja's capabilities and experience, and it is expected that he will bring positive changes to the management of the temple.
