“Errol Musk is scheduled to visit Ayodhya in the afternoon today,” Ayodhya Commissioner Gaurav Dayal said. “There is already a three-layered high-level security cover in place in Ayodhya, which includes round-the-clock deployment of high-tech anti-drone systems capable of detecting and neutralising unauthorised aerial activity,” a police officer said.

He added that security arrangements in and around the temple area include CCTV surveillance, regular checking of visitors, and deployment of specially trained personnel.

“However, no additional security cover will be extended officially for this visit, as the existing measures are adequate,” he said. Errol Musk, who is the Global Advisor to Servotech Renewable Power System Ltd, began his India trip on June 1 and will be in the country till June 6, a spokesperson for the Haryana-based company said in a statement.

“His visit is squarely focused on accelerating India’s burgeoning green technology and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure development,” the company said.

Servotech Managing Director Raman Bhatia is also expected to visit the Ram temple on Wednesday. While Errol Musk was initially scheduled to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra as well, the plan may be dropped due to extreme heat in the region.
