It is these restrictions that have become a bone of contention between the civil population living inside cantonments and the military. Civilian residents of cantonments say they are largely unhappy with the functioning of cantonment boards.
He added that cantonment boards are aware of this problem, but have failed to come up with a solution. Shailendra Singh Kushwah, vice president, Morar Cantonment in Gwalior, told ThePrint that the restrictions in cantonments are a constant cause for worry for the civil population staying inside. According to Kushwah, even building additional floors or carrying out basic renovations are a problem for the civilians staying in cantonments as that requires multiple permissions.

The possibility of abolishing cantonments or even opening them up has evoked strong reactions from the armed forces, which said it would not just impact training but also cause a security threat by allowing in too many strangers into the area.
A senior Army officer told ThePrint that the civil population had been originally permitted to live in cantonment areas to assist the armed forces. The officer added the civilians largely have an issue with the cantonment boards than the military itself. Former 15 Corps Commander Lt. Singh said the armed forces must have the last word in the management of cantonments, because they are accountable and responsible to their soldiers and families for provision of disciplined and quality living environment.
