New
Delhi,
Aug
22:
Union
Home
Minister
Amit
Shah
will
chair
a
meeting
of
the
central
region
of
the
Inter
State
Council
on
Monday.

The inter-state council meeting will take place at Kushabhau Thakre Hall (known as Minto Hall earlier). Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel and Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan will be attending the meeting.

Shah
will
later
lay
the
foundation
stone
of
a
National
Forensic
Sciences
University
and
address
a
seminar
before
returning
to
Delhi
on
Monday
night.

What
is
the
Inter-State
Council?

It
is
a
mechanism
that
was
constituted
“to
support
Centre-State
and
Inter-State
coordination
and
cooperation
in
India”.
The
Inter-State
Council
was
established
under
Article
263
of
the
Constitution,
provided
that
an
Inter-State
Council
(ISC)
may
be
established
“if
at
any
time
it
appears
to
the
President
that
the
public
interests
would
be
served
by
the
establishment
of
a
Council”.

Therefore,
the
constitution
itself
did
not
establish
the
ISC,
because
it
was
not
considered
necessary
at
the
time
the
constitution
was
being
framed,
but
kept
the
option
for
its
establishment
open.
This
option
was
exercised
in
1990.
Therefore,
the
ISC
was
established
as
a
permanent
body
on
28
May
1990
by
a
presidential
order
on
recommendation
of
Sarkaria
Commission.

DGPs
in
border
states
should
keep
watch
on
demographic
changes:

Shah

Moreover,
the
Commission
on
Centre-State
Relations
under
the
Chairmanship
of
Justice
R.
S.
Sarkaria
had
recommended
that
a
permanent
Inter-State
Council
called
the
Inter-Governmental
Council
(IGC)
should
be
set
up
under
Article
263.
The
ISC
has
been
established
pursuant
to
this
recommendation
of
the
commission.
