Eiffel Tower to get bulletproof walls amid terrorism fears
The Eiffel Tower will be protected by 2.5-metre-high bulletproof glass walls at its northern and southern ends to protect it from terror attacks, Paris Deputy Mayor Jean-Francois Martins announced on Thursday. The walls, to be built later this year at the cost of €20 million (nearly ₹142.6 crore), will prevent visitors from accessing the tower without undergoing security checks.
