A survey of radio recombination lines (RRLs) in the Galactic plane (l = 332° − 0° − 89°) near 327 MHz made using the Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT) has detected carbon RRLs from all the positions in the longitude range 0° < l < 20° and from a few positions at other longitudes. The carbon lines detected in the survey are, most likely, emission counterparts of the absorption lines observed at frequencies below 150 MHz. Observations towards l = 13°.9, b = 0°.0 indicate that the broader (∼ 38 km s−1) carbon line detected in the lower resolution observation consists of multiple narrow components (∼ 10 km s−1) with different central velocities. The implications of the presence of such narrow components for the modeling of line emission is discussed.
