Eiffel Tower Closes After Female Staff Asked to Step Aside During Hindu Delegation Visit
The Eiffel Tower was temporarily closed on Monday after employees protested allegations that female staff were asked to step aside during a private visit by a Hindu religious delegation linked to BAPS. Union representatives said women were asked to leave workstations as the delegation passed, with male colleagues taking their places. Management apologized, and Paris authorities, including Mayor Emmanuel Gregoire, announced an investigation. The closure delayed the monument's opening, which was expected to resume the following day.
