Eiffel Tower closed in row over women removed for Hindu group
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported41m ago
The Eiffel Tower in Paris temporarily closed on Monday following a staff strike triggered by a dispute over the treatment of female employees during a visit by a Hindu religious group. The walkout occurred after reports that the organization requested restricted interactions with female staff members during their visit, which coincided with a cultural procession by the group BAPS on the Seine.
Management at the Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE) held meetings with staff to address the grievances, leading to the monument's subsequent reopening. The visiting group has since issued an apology regarding the incident.
