The father of Indian teen Romanch Mahajan is urging New York City authorities to ban horse carriages following his son's death.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is advocating for the end of the city's horse carriage industry following the death of Indian teenager Romanch Mahajan.

A vigil is scheduled to honor Romanch Mahajan, an 18-year-old Indian tourist who died last week after falling from a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park.

Romanch Mahajan, a teenager from Punjab, India, died in a horse carriage accident in New York after a horse bolted. The incident has led to renewed calls from politicians, including Zohran Mamdani, to ban horse-drawn carriages in the city.
