Eiffel Tower Closes Amid Staff Protest Over Female Employees’ Treatment During Hindu Delegation Visit
The Eiffel Tower was temporarily closed after staff protested allegations that female employees 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, replaced by male colleagues, prompting criticism and an investigation by Paris authorities. Management apologized, and Paris Mayor Emmanuel Gregoire supported the staff's concerns. BAPS expressed regret, and the monument was expected to reopen after the incident.
