Zonal Councils were created by the........ Act, 1956.

• A. States Reorganisation
• B. Finance Commission
• C. Panchayati Raj
• D. Representation of People

Answer 1

Answer:

A. States Reorganisation

The States Reorganisation Act, 1956, was enacted to reorganize the boundaries of Indian states along linguistic lines, a move recommended by the States Reorganisation Commission (SRC) headed by Fazal Ali.

Zonal Councils are statutory bodies established under Part III of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, rather than constitutional bodies.
