You extend the chart which you used and then write the labels using the helper methods

HTML

<canvas id="myChart" width="500" height="400"></canvas>

In the below JS, note that the parameter to calculateY is the y value, while for calculateX, it is label index

Chart.types.Line.extend({
  name: "LineAlt",
  draw: function(){
    Chart.types.Line.prototype.draw.apply(this, arguments);

    this.chart.ctx.textAlign = "center"
    // y value and x index
    this.chart.ctx.fillText("ZONE1", this.scale.calculateX(3.5), this.scale.calculateY(20.75))
    this.chart.ctx.fillText("ZONE2", this.scale.calculateX(11.5), this.scale.calculateY(13))
    this.chart.ctx.fillText("ZONE3", this.scale.calculateX(2), this.scale.calculateY(9.75))
    this.chart.ctx.fillText("ZONE4", this.scale.calculateX(14.5), this.scale.calculateY(22.75))
  }
});

var data = {
  labels: [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24],
  datasets: [{
    data: []
  }]
};

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");
var myBarChart = new Chart(ctx).LineAlt(data, {
  scaleOverride: true,
  scaleSteps: 16,
  scaleStepWidth: 1,
  scaleStartValue: 8,
  animation: false
});

Not sure how you created the line chart, so didnโ€™t add it to the fiddle

This is how I write inside a pie to create a gauge:

enter image description here

var start=0;
var stop=100;
var part=(stop-start)/3;
var pi_value=4.999;
var pi_name="ู…ุฏุช ุชูˆู‚ู";
var pi_unit="(ุฑูˆุฒ)";
var pi_data=[30, 30, 20, 1, 9];
var inner={
    backgroundColor: [
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)",
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
    ],
    borderWidth: 0,
    hoverBackgroundColor: [
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)",
        "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
    ],
    hoverBorderWidth: 0
};
angular.module('PIR').controller("DoughnutCtrl", ['$scope', function ($scope) {
  var originalDraw = Chart.controllers.doughnut.prototype.draw;
  Chart.controllers.doughnut.prototype.draw = function(ease) {
    if(this.index == 1){
      let x = (this.chart.boxes[this.index].right)/2;
      this.chart.chart.ctx.textAlign = "center";
      this.chart.chart.ctx.fillText(pi_value, x, x*3/2);
      this.chart.chart.ctx.fillText(start, 4*this.chart.boxes[this.index].left, x*3/2);
      this.chart.chart.ctx.fillText(stop, this.chart.boxes[this.index].right-3*this.chart.boxes[this.index].left, x*3/2);
    }
    originalDraw.call(this, ease);
  };
  $scope.data = [pi_data, pi_data];
  $scope.datasetOverride = [
