Containments of Pakistan

No Cantonments in Pakistan are permanent military bases of the Pakistan Army, administered by Cantonment Boards under the Military Lands & Cantonments Department (ML&C), Ministry of Defence, Government of Pakistan. Established under the Cantonments Act 1924, they have evolved from primarily "garrison" areas to include civilian populations and private businesses. Cantonments are divided into three classes based on civil population strength: Class I Cantonments, with a civil population of 100,000 or more; Class II Cantonments, with a civil population of 50,000 or more but less than 100,000; and Class III Cantonments, with a civil population of less than 50,000. As of 2013, there are 56 cantonments in Pakistan. 

The director general of Military Lands and Cantonments oversees all cantonments boards, which are audited annually by the Government of Pakistan's Audit Department. Since 2000, local government elections have not been held in cantonments, a decision challenged in the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 2009. The government has since announced that changes to the Cantonment Boards Act of 1924 are pending at the National Assembly of Pakistan, as of 2014.

The main purpose of this light, which comes from the lower belly, is to draw in partners.                                                                              Source: MY YOUTUBE VLOG Fireflies communicate with possible mates by flashing their lights. Every species has a different sequence of flashes that help individuals recognize and choose compatible companions. Fireflies go through four stages of complete metamorphosis: the egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
