The Manora Cantonment (Urdu: منوڑہ چھاؤنی) is a cantonment town in a small Manora Island, located just south of Karachi, in Sindh, Pakistan. It serves as a military base and residential establishment. It was established by the British Indian Army in 19th-century British India, and taken over by the Pakistan Army in 1947.[1][2]
The cantonment maintains its own infrastructure of water supply, electricity and is outside the jurisdiction of City District Government of Karachi.[1][2]
