How has the nature of cantonment areas change with the passage of time

Sagot :

Explanation:

Cantonments in Pakistan (Urdu: توقف گاہِ نظامیاں ، پاکستان‎) are permanent military bases of Pakistan Army, which are administered by Cantonment Boards under the control of the Military Lands & Cantonments Department (ML&C), Ministry of Defence, Government of Pakistan. Cantonments are established under and governed by the Cantonments Act 1924.

Explanation:

In recent times, the demographic character of most independence era cantonments has changed with time, as they are no longer primarily "garrison" areas, and include significant civilian populations and private businesses. Based on the strength of civil population, the cantonments have been divided into three classes. Class I Cantonments, in which the civil population is one hundred thousand or more; Class II Cantonments, in which the civil population is fifty thousand or more but less than one hundred thousand; and Class III Cantonments, in which the civil population is less than fifty thousand.
