    "articleBody": "The Eiffel Tower was closed following a staff strike protesting the visit of a BAPS delegation. The strike disrupted normal operations on Tuesday, with the tower reopening later after the dispute.\n\nThe strike arose due to objections from employees over the arrangements made for the BAPS group’s visit. Exploitation de la tour Eiffel (SETE), the body managing the tower, confirmed that the visit was coordinated in advance given the size of the group. However, some employees felt the arrangements should not have been accepted.\n\nThe matter was purely between the entities concerned. BAPS regretted any inconvenience caused to employees by the arrangements.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nEiffel Tower Closes After Female Staff Sidelined During Hindu Group Visit\nAllegations of Gender Bias at Eiffel Tower Visitor Site\nCJI Dipak Misra warns against regressive men running religion\n\nRandhir Jaiswal, MEA spokesperson",
