The Eiffel Tower, a major landmark in Paris, France, has been closed to the public due to a staff strike. Employees initiated the protest following allegations that female workers were removed from certain areas during a visit by a religious group.
Reports indicate that female staff members were allegedly moved or made "invisible" to accommodate a Hindu delegation. This incident sparked the strike, with staff expressing concerns over the reported treatment of their colleagues.
Authorities in Paris have reportedly launched an investigation into these claims. The closure significantly impacts tourism at one of the world's most visited attractions. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
