Local government institutions promote development at grassroots level. They can play an important role in socio-political and economic development, provided they have institutional capacity to organise and mobilise local resources. The separation of the judiciary from the executive has decreased the workload of the administrative institutions. Hopefully now the crime rate will go down, which would have positive implications for the overall district administration. Tribal affiliation and religion are the major determinants of political behaviour in the district. The role of women in the political parties is marginal, due to social and cultural values.
