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, military sources said on Monday.

A notification has been issued by the ministry on April 27 for changing the status of the cantonment.
