New York mayor, other leaders push to ban horse-drawn carriage rides after Indian teen’s death

An 18-year-old Indian teen, Romanch Mahajan, died after a Central Park horse-drawn carriage accident when the driver dismounted to take a photo. His family had arrived in New York for a graduation celebration, and the incident has sparked calls to ban horse carriages. The company suspended the driver, and the Central Park Conservancy supported a bill to ban the practice.
