Zonal Councils are statutory bodies established by the States Reorganisation Act, 1956. There are five Zonal Councils: Northern, Central, Eastern, Western, and Southern. The Eastern Zonal Council comprises the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal. Chhattisgarh is part of the Central Zonal Council, along with Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh. Therefore, Chhattisgarh is not a member of the Eastern Zonal Council.
