The family of Romanch Mahajan, an 18-year-old tourist who dies after a horse-drawn carriage crash in New York City, is urging lawmakers to ban horse-drawn carriage rides. Multiple reports say the family is pushing for legislative action in response to the fatal incident and is calling for tighter limits or an outright prohibition of the carriage industry. The New York Post reports that the father points to earlier proposed legislation that, he says, would have required carriages to stop on June 1, 2026, and contrasts that timeline with Mahajan’s death on June 17. The Oregonian similarly describes the family’s public appeal to city lawmakers to end horse-drawn rides after the crash. Both accounts present the family’s position that Mahajan’s death should lead to policy changes affecting the carriage industry. No source provided here disputes the fatal crash or offers official legislative outcomes; the coverage focuses on the family’s calls for a ban and references the timing of previously discussed measures.
