CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Eiffel Tower chief to leave post, controversy over delegation visit

Paris. Jean-François Martins, a senior official linked to the operation of France’s famous Eiffel Tower, is preparing to step down from his post. During his tenure, several issues related to the management and security arrangements of the Eiffel Tower have been discussed. Meanwhile, a controversy linked to the visit of a Hindu delegation has also surfaced.

According to reports, during the Hindu delegation’s visit to the Eiffel Tower, some women employees were removed from duty on the premises. Different claims have been made on social media over the development. However, available information differs on the reasons for removing the women employees and on the authority that took the decision.

The Eiffel Tower is operated by the Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE). The organisation’s administrative and operational decisions are taken under France’s local administration and management system. In the matter linked to the delegation’s visit as well, it would be appropriate to draw a final conclusion only on the basis of information that emerges officially.

The Eiffel Tower is a key symbol of Paris and among the world’s most famous tourist destinations. In such a situation, any decision related to its management naturally attracts international attention. Further official clarification will be important in both matters linked to the resignation and the delegation’s visit.
