Solution
A Cantonment Board is a special local body set up in areas where large army establishments are located. Though primarily a military zone, civilians also live there, creating a need for civic services.

It is headed by the commanding military officer as Chairman and is assisted by the Cantonment Executive Officer, along with other staff members.
