Yamuna bridge News
The old Indian Railways bridge, popularly referred to as 'lohey ka pul' (iron bridge) has witnessed many floods and is also a reference point for measuring danger level for Yamuna water levels.
A 30-year-old man allegedly committed suicide over a 'family dispute' by jumping off the Yamuna bridge at the Delhi Noida Direct (DND) Flyway, police said Sunday.
On Sunday evening, the order for closing the bridge was issued by the Delhi Police at 8.25 p.m. after the water level reached 205.52 metres.
As the water level of Yamuna River crossed the danger mark, the Northern Railway (NR) on Monday said that the old Yamuna rail bridge, also known as Loha Pul, has been closed for train traffic since midnight as a precautionary measure. Following the closure, a revised train operation plan has been implemented.
