The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has lifted the speed restriction for metro trains while crossing the Yamuna bridges, allowing them to operate at normal speed. The DMRC announced the development on Twitter, stating that all trains are now running at their regular pace.

Yamuna Water Level Decreases:

After setting a 45-year record by reaching 208.66 meters, the Yamuna’s water level in the national capital has gradually decreased to 207.68 meters. Despite the decline, several areas in Delhi remain flooded. In response to the flooding, the Army and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) were deployed to assist in affected regions of central Delhi.
