Like other districts, there are two categories of administration at the district level: federal and provincial. The federal government administration holds a minor role. The role of the provincial government is big.

 The provincial government administration comprises a Deputy Commissioner (DC), Additional DC, Assistant Commissioner or Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Tehsildar and Naib-tehsildar. Also the levy, police, irrigation, construction and works (C & W), livestock, local government, health, Qazi courts, agriculture, public health, social welfare, forest and wildlife, excise and taxation (with its office at Sibi) and education offices all come under the provincial government. A number of Departments are managed from their office in neighboring districts.

 The federal government administration at the district level includes the election office. Further there are federal government units like the Intelligence Bureau, the Inter Service Intelligence and the Military Intelligence, but they function rather invisible and have hardly any dealings with the public.
