Yamuna Water Level Slowly Recedes…
New Delhi: On Saturday, 15 July 2023, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) removed the speed restriction for metro trains.
Officials said that all trains are running at normal speed now.
Restrictions were imposed on metro speed while crossing the bridges over the Yamuna.
"Speed restriction imposed while crossing Metro bridges over Yamuna has been removed. All trains are running at normal speed now," DMRC said in a tweet.
DMRC had earlier reduced the speed of metro trains over four Yamuna bridges due to rising water levels in the Yamuna.
After breaching a 45-year record, the Yamuna which runs through Delhi, came down to 207.68 metres this morning.
Several areas in Delhi remained flooded till now.
The river had reached 208.66 meters earlier this week, surpassing the previous high of 207.49 meters in 1978.
The Army and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) were called in as the water submerged key areas of central Delhi.
