New York: A law named after 18-year-old Romanch Mahajan, a young man from Pathankot, Punjab, has reportedly been passed in New York following his death in an accident at Central Park.
According to the report, the legislation, referred to as the “Romanch Law,” introduces a ban on horse-drawn carriages. The decision follows an accident at New York’s Central Park in which Mahajan lost his life.
Mahajan’s death has now been linked to a legislative change aimed at ending the use of horse-drawn carriages, according to the available information. The law’s reported naming after the teenager marks a significant development for his family and the community in Pathankot.
The report describes the legislation as the first time in the United States that a law has been passed in the name of a Punjabi individual. However, the available details do not specify the exact date the legislation was approved, when the ban will take effect, or whether it applies to all horse-drawn carriages across New York or only to particular areas.
Further details about the circumstances of the accident, the legislative process and the law’s implementation were not provided in the report.
The reported development has drawn attention to Mahajan’s death and the possible impact of the new restrictions on horse-drawn carriage operations. Official statements from New York authorities would help clarify the law’s scope and enforcement arrangements.
