2.3. Brief history of the public authority and context of its formation.
Hyderabad and Secunderabad form one of the few twin cities of the world.
Secunderabad is located on the northern side of the Hyderabad urban agglomeration.
The cities have merged through an imaginary line drawn across the Tank Bund, which is
still used to demarcate the cities. The Secunderabad Cantonment comprises a number
of defense establishments. In 1798 through an alliance signed between Hyderabad's
Nizam Sikander Jah and the British East India Company, an area north of Hussain
Secunderabad Cantonment Board Page 5
Sagar Lake was made into a cantonment named Secunderabad after Nizam Sikander
Jah. Presently, Secunderabad Cantonment area falls under the Secunderabad
Cantonment Board, which is a local body falling under the administrative control of
Ministry of Defence, Government of India. Primarily, the Secunderabad Cantonment
Board is responsible for carrying out the civic amenities to the residents of the
Cantonment area. The area of Secunderabad Cantonment is about 40.17 sq. km and
the civil population is 2,06,102 as per the 2001 census.
Historically, cantonments were places where the army of colonial government
had to be exclusively quartered in an effort to keep the armed forces totally insulated
from the ruled. Cantonments meant quarters assigned for lodging troops, a permanent
military station created by the British government in India for the location of military
formation away from the civilian towns and insulated from the Indian nationalist
influences. Housing was the core objective. Subsequently, housing itself attracted the
civil population to reside in the cantonments and the economic spin-offs attracted other
activities. The bazaar area was recognized and the anatomy of the cantonment got
clearly defined with military, the bungalow and civil areas clearly defined. The
cantonments as local self-government organizations have always remained a puzzle.
The civilian population wants to be in it but is uncertain about their status and their
future.
Due to repeated demand for reforms by the representatives of cantonment
population, the Cantonments Act, 1924 was enacted to introduce local self-government
in the cantonments, which contained substantial civil population. The Act was the first
model municipal Act for cantonments, but in its implementation, decentralization and
democratic norms were largely compromised because of the status of the citizen who
occupied the property only as a licensee of the Government.
In 2006 the Cantonments Act, 1924 was replaced by the Cantonment Act, 2006 with a
view to impart greater democratization and improve the financial base of cantonments to
make provision for developmental activities, etc. Presently there are 62 Cantonments in
the country distributed among five Army Commands. The cantonments are categorized
as Category I, Category II, Category III and Category IV on the basis of the civil
population. As per the latest Census, Secunderabad cantonment area falls under
Category I, with a population above 50,000.
