Two Detained with Fake PMO IDs in Mumbai; Eiffel Tower Closes Amid Staff ProtestPreviousNext

Two men were detained near Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Mumbai event venue for possessing a gun and fake PMO ID cards, according to Mumbai Police. The incident raised security concerns ahead of the event. Separately, the Eiffel Tower closed temporarily after staff protested the alleged removal of female employees during a visit by a Hindu religious delegation. The Supreme Court is set to hear a case on pan-India safety audits following a deadly building collapse in Delhi. Political tensions continue with PM Modi criticizing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's student initiative.
