New York mayor, other leaders push to end horse carriage industry after Indian teen's death

An 18-year-old Indian teen, Romanch Mahajan, died in a Central Park horse carriage accident after the driver left to photograph the family, causing the horse to bolt. The incident, the first fatality in over 150 years, has led to calls to end the industry, with the company suspending the driver and the horse being retired. Central Park Conservancy and New York City leaders are pushing for safety measures and legislation to phase out carriages.
