Yol in Himachal sheds tag of cantonment town

May 2, 2023

The picturesque Yol in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh has shed its tag as a cantonment town with the defence ministry effecting the change and making provisions for the merger of civil areas with the local municipality.
The military area within the cantonment will be converted into a military station and the civil area will be merged with the municipality.
The move will prove beneficial to all stakeholders and that civilians, who until now were not getting access to welfare schemes of the state government through the municipality, will now be able to avail them.
