Nritya Gopal Das is the president of the Trust, which is set to hold a key meeting on July 6 to discuss the situation in the wake of the resignation of two key trustees, Champat Rai and Anil Mishra, following a controversy over missing donations at the Ram temple.

Though due to age-related issues, Das had previously attended a few Trust meetings virtually, with the current key meeting barely five days away, chances of him attending it remain uncertain, sources said.
