New Delhi:

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has lifted the speed restriction for metro trains while crossing the bridges over the Yamuna and said that all trains are running at normal speed now.

"Speed restriction imposed while crossing Metro bridges over Yamuna has been removed. All trains are running at normal speed now," tweeted DMRC.

DMRC had earlier reduced the speed of metro trains over four Yamuna bridges amid rising water levels in the river.

After breaching a 45-year record, the Yamuna which runs through the national capital, came down to 207.68 metres this morning even as several areas in Delhi remained flooded.

The river had reached 208.66 meters earlier this week, surpassing the previous high of 207.49 meters in 1978.
