Entry and exit of passengers at Yamuna Bank Metro Station on the Blue Line has been reopened after the Yamuna registered a drop in its water level, officials said on Sunday.
Entry and exit at the station had been closed on Thursday due to the rise in the Yamuna River water level. The river has been in spate for the last one week, swelling to 207.71 metres on Wednesday, breaching its all-time record of 207.49 metres set in 1978, and inundating several key areas in Delhi.
The water level in the Yamuna in Delhi came down to 207.98 metres at 11 pm on Friday from 208.66 metres on Thursday, three metres above the danger mark of 205.33 metres. The water level in the river on Sunday was recorded at 205.98 metres.
