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.

Statement 2: It works under the administrative control of the defence ministry of the Central government. Thus, unlike some other 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. The executive officer implements all the resolutions and decisions of the board and its committees. He belongs to the central cadre established for the purpose.
