Rlys to go for CFL for carbon credit
Railways have decided to replace all electric bulbs in its colonies with compact fluorescent light (CFL) across the country as part of its efforts to check climate change. "A total of 2.6 million CFL bulbs will be fitted at every household in railway colonies as part of the clean development management and equal number of incandescent bulbs withdrawn," a senior railway ministry official said. However, railways will not bear the cost of the CFL replacement as all the compact fluorescent bulbs will be provided by an agency according to the proposal.
