A notable landmark was closed due to a worker strike. Employees were protesting allegations that some staff members were asked to stay out of sight during a visit by a Hindu religious group. The group, known as Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, or BAPS, has a global presence and is based in India.

The visit in question took place on a Saturday, with around 100 members of BAPS attending. The organization describes itself as a spiritual community that aims to improve society through personal growth and the promotion of Hindu values.

Further details about the incident and the strike are available from the source, including reactions from French politicians who have criticized the alleged request to staff members.
