Mumbai court bans horse-drawn 'Victoria carriages'

A court in India has ruled that Mumbai's famous horse-drawn carriages, popularly known as "Victorias", are "illegal" and must go off the city streets in a year.

"Using horse-driven carriages only for joyrides solely for human pleasure is an avoidable activity," the order said.

The court agreed with animal rights groups that the practice was cruel.
