Explanation:

A cantonment board is established for municipal administration for the civilian population in the cantonment area. It is set up under the provisions of the Cantonments Act of 2006–legislation enacted by the Central government. It works under the administrative control of the defense ministry of the Central government. Hence, statement 1 is not correct.

Thus, unlike the four types of urban local bodies(Municipal Corporation, Municipality, Notified Area Committee, Town Area Committee) which are created and administered by the state government, a cantonment board is created as well as administered by the Central government.

The chief executive officer of the cantonment board is appointed by the President of India. He implements all the resolutions and decisions of the board and its committees. He belongs to the central cadre established for the purpose. Hence statement 2 is correct.
