The Council’s meeting was aimed at addressing common concerns of the participating states and settling cross-border concerns, if any.
Five Zonal Councils — central, western, northern, southern and eastern — have been established under the State Reorganization Act, 1956. The last meeting of the council was held in January 2015.
