Python date format changes to date & time

[1418]

Hi, my original data is short date (15/10/2023) but when I run the below code python changes it to 2023-10-15 00:00:00, how can I prevent this? Cheers.

import pandas as pd 

inspdata=pd.read_excel('Inspections data.xlsx')

#remove columns 
inspdata.drop(['Notice Creation','count()'],axis=1, inplace=True)

#replace header row names
inspdata.columns=['EForm ID','Contractor','Address','Area','Classification','Program','Notice Ref #','Category','Inspection Type',
'Result','Actual Date','Created Date','Status','CIO','PO']

#delete first 4 rows below the header
inspdata.drop([0,1,2,3],axis=0,inplace=True) #keeps header row

#replace text
inspdata['Classification'].replace(['VACQREP','VACAP'],['VAC','VAC'],inplace=True)

print(inspdata.head(10))

inspdata.to_excel('Inspections Data Python.xlsx',index=False)
