As in all other districts, there are two categories of government administration at the district level: federal and provincial. Local Government comes under the Provincial Government. The role of provincial government is substantial in the management of district affairs. Federal government administration has a smaller role. The total strength of provincial government employees in the district is 4,361. There are a total of 56 departments.

 The district administration comprises a Deputy Commissioner (DC), Additional DC, Assistant Commissioner or Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Tehsildar and Naib Tehsildar. Important departments under the jurisdiction of provincial government are Levy, Police and anti-corruption, Irrigation, Construction and Works (C & W), Livestock (Animal Husbandry), Lobar, Jail, Public Health & Engineering, Local Government, Health, Social Welfare, Forest and Wildlife, Excise and Taxation, Treasury Office, and Education.

 Institutions under the federal government administration are the Elections Office, WAPDA, Post Office and Railways. The WAPDA plays a substantial role in the electrification of urban and rural areas. It is doing a major job in the widening of Pat Feeder canal. The Gas office (Southern Sui Gas) is also a federal department. So are the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Inter Service Intelligence (ISI), but they function more invisible.
