\n– The north-south extension corresponds to the latitudinal extent of the state.
\n– Approximate latitudinal extents:
\n – Jharkhand: ~21\u00b058’N to 25\u00b018’N (approx. 3\u00b020′)
\n – Telangana: ~15\u00b046’N to 19\u00b056’N (approx. 4\u00b010′)
\n – Odisha: ~17\u00b049’N to 22\u00b034’N (approx. 4\u00b045′)
\n – Chhattisgarh: ~17\u00b046’N to 24\u00b006’N (approx. 6\u00b020′)
\n<\/section>\n
