खालील विमाने विचारात घ्या : अ. विभागीय परिषदा या घटनात्मक संस्था आहेत. ब. पंतप्रधान हे सर्व विभागीय परिषदांचे अध्यक्ष म्हणून कार्य करतात. क. प्रत्येक मुख्यमंत्री हा आळीपाळीने विभागीय परिषदेचा उपाध्यक्ष म्हणून कार्य करतो. ड. दोन किंवा अधिक विभागीय परिषदांच्या संयुक्त बैठकींचे अध्यक्षस्थान केंद्रीय गृहमंत्री भूषवितो.
(a)Zonal Councils are the constitutional bodies.
(b)The Prime Minister acts as the Chairman of all Zonal Councils.
(c)Each Chief Minister acts as the Vice-Chairman of the Zonal Council by rotation.
(d)Joint meetings of two or more Zonal Councils are presided over by the Union Home Minister.
Zonal Councils are statutory bodies (created under States Reorganisation Act, 1956), not constitutional bodies. The Union Home Minister acts as the Chairman of all Zonal Councils, not the Prime Minister. Hence statements 'a' and 'b' are incorrect, while 'c' and 'd' are correct.
