Union Home Minister Amit Shah chairs the South Zone Chief Ministers’ conference/southern Zonal Council meeting in Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, with chief ministers from southern states in attendance, according to reports.

The meeting brings together leaders from multiple southern states to discuss inter-state and regional issues under the zonal council framework. The Times of India frames the event specifically as the “South Zone Chief Ministers’ Conference,” while The Hindu describes it as the Southern Zonal Council meeting attended by Amit Shah and chief ministers from southern states.

While both outlets agree on the location, participants, and that Amit Shah leads the deliberations, they differ mainly in the formal label used for the gathering—“chief ministers’ conference” versus “Southern Zonal Council.” Beyond these framing differences, the reports do not provide substantial, outlet-specific details on outcomes within the provided text.
