Explanation:

• 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 Defence Ministry of the Central government. Thus, a cantonment board is created as well as administered by the Central government.

• A cantonment board consists of partly elected and partly nominated members. The elected members hold office for a term of five years while the nominated members (i.e., ex-officio members) continue so long as they hold the office in that station. The military officer commanding the station is the ex-officio president of the board and presides over its meetings. The Vice-President of the board is elected by the elected members from amongst themselves for a term of five years.
