Kedarnath
has
been
one
of
the
most
holy
places
in
the
world.
The
stunning
mountains
surrounding
the
beautiful
temple
has
undoubtedly
fascinated
thousand
of
travellers
every
year
and
has
been
one
of
the
most
travelled
pilgrimages
in
India.
However,
the
holy
city
made
the
headlines
for
the
most
unfortunate
reason
as
a
video
is
going
viral
wherein
two
men
were
seen
forcing
a
horse
to
smoke
weed
during
the
trek.
The
27
second
disturbing
video
featured
a
man
closing
the
horse's
mouth
with
his
hands
while
another
was
seen
putting
the
rolled
paper
in
his
nose
and
making
him
smoke
forcibly.
The
horse
was
seen
exhaling
smoke
a
couple
of
seconds
later.
The
video
has
sparked
outrage
on
social
media
with
netizens
demanding
action
against
the
accused.
Karishma
Tanna
took
to
social
media
and
shared
a
post
regarding
the
shocking
incident.
She
wrote,
"Shockingly
thousands
of
horses
are
still
abused
for
public
transportation
even
in
this
day
and
age.
Most
heart
wrenching
is
their
utter
exploitation
in
Kedarnath
where
in
the
absence
of
infirmaries,
hundreds
of
horses
die
every
year.
Nothing
will
change,
if
you
don't
speak
up.
Whoever
is
watching
this
video,
I
want
you
all
to
create
awareness
and
spread
the
word".
Raveena
Tandon
also
shared
a
tweet
and
demanded
a
strong
action
against
the
men
in
the
video.
She
tweeted,
"Can
we
put
a
stop
to
the
constant
abuse
that
horses
are
going
through
in
our
holy
places?
What
karma
or
prayers
are
these
people
gaining,
when
the
innocent
are
being
tortured?
This
is
a
reel
going
viral
from
#kedarnath.
Can
these
men
be
arrested?
