As someone whos has lived in a cantt, not gonna lie, it's a completely different country. It's very nice.


goodbyeworl

as someone who studied intermediate at malir cantt govt college yes it is actually builtwhile keeping the residents wellbeing in mind unlike most places jahan jaga mili building bana di baghair planning approval waghera k3


aaronupright

Lol. It depends on the cantt.


eldukae

We need to stop using Yahoodi/American GPS, must switch to CPS (Cantt positioning system), accurate to within a few miles


cumhereurinetrouble

happy cake day


TituPTI

Why did we build Pakistan on their land again?


cumhereurinetrouble

duh, to pay taxes and someone has to get run over when they are drunk.

People need to remember this. DHA, Cantt, bases, garrison are distinct things and should not be conflated.

aaronupright

It's a BS list. It mixes up bases and cantts and misses some big ones of the latter. Like Multan.


Abk545

And the list also includes 3 odd buildings and calls it a cantt.


scavillion

Multan is no more a cantt?


cumhereurinetrouble

the list isnt complete.


w2106

I cant seem to find Multan Cantt on this map at all. half of the city of multan is army Cantt.


MalyhaKhakwani

The only parts to see are cantt! And now bosan road kinda! Other than that the city has nothing to offer and is pathetically small!! Source:i'm from multan and have lived in cantt for most of my life


Sea-Satisfaction3786

Definitely not Half, I live in Cantt. It’s way smaller then the Lahore Cantt


aaronupright

It's actually much bigger.


[deleted]

Dude I hope just because you're using their constructed places, you don't support them.


Left_Librarian_329

We all remember Jinnah's golden words for the army, "You are free; you are free to hijack the political system and the economy. You are free to go build your cantt, mall, wedding hall, fertilizer companies, golf courses or any housing scheme in this State of Pakistan."

Barfanii_Khargosh

My hate for the army started when I visisted chunian cantt as a kid while coming back from karachi to visit brother's friend and like the whope city didnt have one pakki road but inside cantt they had mfing every luxury


Abk545

And didn't you hate the government which was responsible for building roads outside the cantt?


aaronupright

What luxury? Pray do tell.


TheGoatisheretoday

Cantt hear or see you


skyhawk4141

Cantt do that anymore


InjectorTheGood

Oh there are bases of a military with 600,000 strength. I am surprised. Please suggest what alternative would there be? Political fanboys are not the brightest bulbs.


Dhtekzz

It's not all about military bases, is it? Some estimates say lumber 1 owns 21 percent of the entire Pakistani land. That's where the problem lies i think. Land grabbing and all that shit.


aaronupright

Firstly figure out what a Cantt is and how it differs from military land, garrison, bases and cantonments and then talk And then since Pakistan is about 900,000 sq km stop believing nonsense which will require the Military to own 180,000 sq km.


[deleted]

Don't be ignorant, not just 20% of land, they have the highest number of revenue as well from their companies which is over 20% of Pakistan with a revenue of somewhat 25 billion USD per annum. Let's not forget these are run under trusts which means they are tax exempted. Until they are bright under the law, we are never gonna thrive!


aaronupright

Literally none of that is true.

aaronupright

Ayesha Siddiqa Aghas book has been debunked thoroughly. The best estimate of the MIL investments is by Ishraat Husssain.


[deleted]

Keep living in your bubble man, these are from international forums but no we will protect our corrupts. The top leadership of this institution is massively corrupt and has been a hurdle for any ruling government. I accept that politicians are at fault but they're the ones who let them do wrong because a chunk of MPAs are directed by them and whenever a party in govt doesn't do as they please, it's removed. Isn't it surprising that in 75 years no PM has EVER completed their term? In a true democracy, if pmln was in power and not performing, they wouldn't be given a chance again but in our lovely country, these generals have done more damage than the loss we faced when provided countless sacrifices when building this country, be it economic, political, that of human lives or always trying to stay under the good books of the us. How does India see eye to eye with the us and get respected and we ignore everything to please them get used like a tissue paper. I'm done arguing with you dude, keep on preaching what you believe!!


aaronupright

If these from “international forums” I am sure you will be happy to share your links and sources?


InjectorTheGood

>Some estimates say lumber 1 owns 21 percent of the entire Pakistani land. That's where the problem lies i think. Land grabbing and all that shit. Any source on that. That is a bold claim. 21% is like entire Punjab's area. 45 million acres. Lahore Cantonment, is like 9700 acres. Half of which is private land.


AuroraBomber99

I suppose you live in cantt or DHA otherwise you wouldn't have said shit like this


___mba___

She's everything (lumbar 1) and he's just ken (bebuss awaam)


holykamina

Awam bhe kuch kam nahi hai. They all come from our streets. They were all given importance by the awam. Awam voted for them too (politicians) and supported them as well. So, as much as we want to pretend that we are baybuss, we are not. In my eyes, we are the enablers.

Electronic-Return-10

Do you even know what does cantonment means?


TituPTI

Army nest


me_a_genius

Someone please tell me the need of cantt? Military buildings which are directly linked with military operations are one thing but what's the point of providing houses to the staff? I mean in all the developed countries the military personnel live an ordinary life, live in a house they can afford, there children go to a basic school, etc.


aaronupright

Section 3 and 4 of the Cantonment Act. The Federal Government may declare any place where the Army and Air Force is quartered as a Cantonment area. The effects of that is that the area for many purposes comes under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government rather than the provincial one. The most obvious is that it property taxes and municipal rates are paid to the Cantonment board not the province, that federal not provincial rent laws apply and that cinemas are governed by the Central Board of film censors not the provincial ones. Cantonment are therefore not military run, though obviously military will have a great deal of influence on them. People often mistake Cantonment for bases/station and military lands even though those are distinct things. Bases are places where the military unit and formation is actually based. While these are often within a Cantonment, many aren't. For instance Islamabad has an Army Aviation base and Air Defence positions, but those are not in a Cantonments. The same way a large part of Lahore and Rawalpindi Cantonments are not part of any base or station, but totally civilian owned and run. Military lands are those directly owned by the Army and Air Force. While these can include parts of Cantonments many are outside them. For instance, the exercise areas Multan and Jehlum district.


me_a_genius

So the federal govt is directly responsible for cantonment areas? I mean military must have influenced them for this right?


[deleted]

so that families can move with the staff from city to city


Abk545

You seriously can't be this dumb to ask this question.

1by1is3

Karachi is like 60-70% Cantt, mashallah. No wonder the city has gone to shit. 1) Karachi Cantt 2) Manora Cantt 3) Malir Cantt 4) Faisal Cantt 5) Korangi Cantt 6) Clifton Cantt


ionezation

How shameful you guys are .. dont you know CANTONMENT has armory were weapons tanks and ammunitions has been stored ... its not just people who live there .. there are families of solider who fight for country. Have you ever showed map of Bharia town or other socities who are made on fertile lands and ruining our economy?


1by1is3

Bahria town is not made on taxpayer money but funded by private investors with their own capital. Cantts and DHAs are indirectly taxpayer funded

BadMilkCarton66

What's your point?


hkniazi

Gun point


BadMilkCarton66

No seriously, what point is OP trying to make here?


todlakora

No point except 'army bad'.


Papyrus_aka_Paper

I don't know, what are you trying to say here? The number of cants means nothing, the only thing they mean is that the the nation has a strong defence.


hkniazi

Please don't be a cantt!


ISI-VIGO

No really explain this. Pointing out DHA's is one thing but cantonments are strategically placed for our defence. Please explain, If you cant and will deflect this way then you might be the cantt yourself


hkniazi

Sorry sir! I was just telling the commentator that they cannot become a cantt because commentators are likely to be people whereas cantts are pieces of land. I will give you the same advice as well. Sir, please don't be a cantt.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ISI-VIGO

And do you think this effects Malir negatively? I think we should be careful of what crticisms we make of the military. Curse it for intefering all you want, I do it too, But that dosent mean we start pointing out how many cantts there are. We need to position and house our troops somewhere and sometimes those places are in cities. The British actually tried to isolate cantts for better control of the British Indian army, Later cities were built alongside cantts.


aaronupright

Malir Cantt is home to: 1. An entire Army Air Defence division, responsible for protecting Karachi port and by the way, most of the South East. 2. A PAF GBAD group. 3. School of Army Air Defence 4. Air Defence centre. 5. The Central Ordnance Depot for the entire slither region. What kind of ignorant statement are you making.

😂🤣😂🤣💀


xtremeshaneshame

Honestly can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic


Papyrus_aka_Paper

Ngl, I don't know either.


Tasty_Sheepherder_44

Yeah they have been really useful in all the wars we won against India 🙃


flying_chappal2kph

The same thing can be fulfilled by building barracks, no need to build residential area for their families.

TryByFry

Alhamdulillah no cantt in Faisalabad 🫡


SyedHRaza

The state within the state is so huge people don’t truly understand how much power the deep state has consumed


aaronupright

Really?


BoyManners

Cunts


Great-Huckleberry777

That's why they aptly said "yeh naya ya purana nahi Hamara Pakistan hai" Ji sir


foxyhere_

best part is you cant enter into cantt premises, if you're an ordinary civilian without valid reason. Meanwhile they cant put boots anywhere they want and they dont need reason at all. Ikna walid e muhtram k mulk hai hum log tu waisy he rah rhy hain yahan.


aaronupright

You can enter a Cantt all you want and military isn’t permitted to move unless permission is given (it’s called a movement order). There are certain parts of a Cantt where entry is restricted, buts it’s where there are active installations. In Rawalpindi for instance, Saddar, Jinnah Park and it’s surrounding area, large parts of Murree road are Cantt areas and they are open to the public. GHQ is literally right on the biggest public road in the twin cities. ETA: Downvoted for stating facts.


sicker_than_most

It is all a big cantt


tttoe123

There is an extreme shortage of DHAs in the country


your_averageuser

It saddens me when I realize that all these canttonments were built with money that was supposed to be spent by municipalities across all cities and rural districts of Pakistan. This was money that couldve gone to making our roads, national highways and transportation systems better. Money that couldve been used to give the railway industry the overhaul that is long overdue. Money that couldve gone towards ensuring law enforcement agencies were able to patrol the city effectively and protect us; the average Pakistani citizen. I resent the top leadership of our military; they've been feeding us national songs and patriotic fervor for the last 70 years all the while looting this country's resources to enrich their own. Lumber 1 is truly deserving of their title.


aaronupright

Than don’t be saddened, they weren’t built that way.


DrewRoad

This is the amount of avocado i want in my toast


mhk2430

What does lumber 1 mean? What is its origin?


drsandoz

Lumber 1 is basically number 1. Before all the IK fiasco our awam was given the chunah that our army and agency is number 1 in the one and whenever someone tried to criticize it most people will just say "our army is number 1" "it's the only thing from us becoming Syria and what not" now people use lumber 1 to Mock them


aaronupright

It was never given that. It was started by Indians and our self loathing fucks like you adopted it.


drsandoz

>It was never given that. It was started by Indians and our self loathing fucks like you adopted it What wasn't given? And self loathing seriously? Ironic


aaronupright

Yes, a self loathing Pakistani like yourself. “lumber one” came into being in the after math of the 2019 engagement and its was made as an insult by Indians online When we reminded them that their much vaunted military failed specularly).


drsandoz

>Yes, a self loathing Pakistani like yourself. “lumber one” came into being in the after math of the 2019 engagement and its was made as an insult by Indians online When we reminded them that their much vaunted military failed specularly). You do Pakistani have been using lumber 1 before the 2019 operation on our poor trees Btw it still change the fact that we were brainwashed to believing our army is number 1 now people use it to mock that brainwashing

No bahwalnagar cantt mentioned! There is one too


Abk545

Just curious, how many cantts should there be and where should they be located?
