New York City Council is expected to pass a ban on horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, set to take effect in June 2028, backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The law, named Romanch's Law after an Indian tourist killed in a carriage accident this year, follows years of animal-safety concerns. Drivers dispute mistreatment claims and fear for their livelihoods.
