The Army seems keen to hand over civilian areas in the cantonment region to the civic bodies, say sources. However, the public mood on the cantonment area does not seem to second such a plan. Many believe that civic bodies like Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) will add to the mess, as they themselves are struggling to take proper care of their jurisdictions. Some also opine that the central and state governments should provide fiscal assistance to implement development projects and make welfare schemes applicable to cantonment area, instead of abolishing the cantonment boards.
