Energy conservation measures adopted in two South Eastern Railway (SER) divisions of Ranchi and Chakradharpur have led to a saving of Rs 1.22 crore.
SER, which observed National Energy Conservation Week from December 8 to December 14 to promote awareness among its staff, opted for use of LED lamps in a major way at stations, service buildings, quarters, streetlights in railway areas.
For making its energy conservation measures effective, banners and posters were been put up at various railway stations, including Ranchi, Tatanagar, Hatia, Rourkela and Jharsuguda.
Seminars and counselling sessions were organised at railway colonies to make people conversant with various ways and means of energy saving.
