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.
The Army and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) were called in as the water submerged key areas of central Delhi.
