De-Notifying of Civil Areas Under Cantonment Boards
There is no proposal at present to form any such committee. However, Cantonment Boards are providing facilities and civic amenities such as sanitation, water supply, street lighting, maintenance of roads, healthcare, primary education and public parks etc within available resources. Besides, the Government also allots grant-in-aid to deficit Cantonment Boards and for creation of capital assets in Cantonments.
