Horse forced to smoke weed during trek to Kedarnath Temple
Dehradun: A disturbing video from Uttarakhand has surfaced on social media, where two men are seen forcing a horse to smoke weed during a trek at Kedarnath. The inhumane act has gained widespread criticism along with several requests to officials to take urgent action.
The two horse operators can be seen holding the horse’s mouth closed so that they can insert a joint into its nostril. After the men forced the horse to smoke, they repeated the action again. A Twitter user suggested that this is usually done by mule/horse owners to make the animal work more.
The Uttarakhand Police on Friday shared that a legal action is being taken against the concerned horse operator. “ A total of 14 cases have been registered so far in relation to cruelty to equine animals,” they tweeted. The police further appealed to the public that such incidents should immediately be reported for quick action.
Several people raised concerns against this heinous act and shed light on the plight of animals under the name of tourism and transportation. A person shared that we must stand together against animal cruelty. “This barbarity has to stop in Dev bhoomi, limit the number of tourists,” tweeted another user.

Trump tells Fox News he's no longer sending Witkoff, Kushner to Pakistan for Iran talks
Islamabad (AP): President Donald Trump says he told top US envoys not to travel to Pakistan to negotiate with Iran, telling Fox News that "they can call us anytime they want.”
In a brief phone interview Saturday, Trump told Fox News that he told US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner “you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing.”
Trump also said of the US side “we have all the cards.”
His comments came after the White House said Friday that Witkoff and Kushner would be heading to Pakistan for another round of negotiations with Iran.
