The Eiffel Tower was temporarily closed on Monday after employees protested allegations that female staff were asked to leave their workstations during a private visit by around 100 members linked to BAPS. Union representatives said women were moved out of sight as the delegation passed through, allowing male employees to take their places. The Eiffel Tower operator, SETE, acknowledged that the visitors had requested limited interaction with women and said such conditions should not have been accepted. Paris Mayor Emmanuel Gregoire ordered an investigation, while senior French politicians criticised the alleged treatment. The controversy has sparked a debate over gender equality and workplace rights. (PC: India Today)
