Most outlets reported the Eiffel Tower closure and subsequent reopening following a staff strike, focusing on the removal of female workers during a Hindu delegation visit. Several emphasized the protest and its cause, using terms like "sidelined," "removed from posts," or "excluded." A few also mentioned the investigation launched in Paris and the delegation's eventual apology. While the framing varied slightly — some led with the gender issue, others with the protest or the Hindu group's role — all accounts centered on the staff action and the incident involving female employees.
