SJTA Exposes Fake Temple Squad Appointment Letters

Bhubaneswar: The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) has issued a strong clarification after fake appointment letters for “Jagannath Temple Squad” posts began circulating on social media.

Officials confirmed that no recruitment has been conducted for such positions and described the letters as forged documents.

The fabricated letters carried SJTA’s official letterhead, seal, and the signature of Chief Administrator Dr Arabinda Kumar Padhee, falsely claiming appointments under the Home Department.

The Officer on Special Duty (Security) stated that these letters are entirely fabricated and no such orders were issued.

Sources suggest that at least 16 individuals have received similar forged letters.

SJTA has launched an investigation to identify those responsible and warned of strict legal action against the creators and circulators of the fake documents.

The administration assured the public that the matter will be thoroughly probed to protect the sanctity of the temple’s recruitment process.
