A Correct answer
Explanation

Statement 1: It is correct. There are 8 types of Urban Governments. They are municipal corporation, municipality, notified area committee, town area committee, cantonment board, township, port trust and special purpose agencies. They function as autonomous bodies and deal with the functions allotted to them independently of the local urban governments (i.e. municipal corporations, municipalities, etc.). Thus they are not subordinate agencies of the local municipal bodies.

Statement 2: It is correct. They are municipal corporation, municipality, notified area committee, town area committee, cantonment board, township, port trust and special purpose agency. Statement 3: It is incorrect. Pollution Control Board is one among the special purpose agencies that are established as statutory bodies by an act of state legislature or as departments.
