Romanch Mahajan, an eighteen-year-old tourist, died after a runaway horse carriage accident in Central Park caused by a driver violating safety protocols.This tragedy marks the first such fatality in 150 years, prompting Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the City Council to schedule hearings for a total industry ban known as Ryder's Law.While animal rights groups support the legislation to ensure public safety, union representatives argue for tighter regulation over a complete operational shutdown.
