Q. Consider the following statements with respect to Cantonment Board:
1. It is established for municipal administration for civilian population in the cantonment area
2. It is set up under the provisions of the Cantonments Act of 2004
3. It works under the administrative control of the defense ministry of the Central government
Which of the following below given codes are correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
A cantonment board is established for municipal administration for civilian population in the cantonment area. It is set up under the provisions of the Cantonments Act of 2006—a legislation enacted by the Central government. It works under the administrative control of the defense ministry of the Central government. Thus, unlike the above four types of urban local bodies, which are created and administered by the state government, a cantonment board is created as well as administered by the Central government.
