This office is located near Ramlila Maidan, Nepalgunj Sub-Metropolitan City-13 under Banke District of Lumbini Province. According to the political division after the implementation of federalism in the country, Banke, Bardia and Dang districts under Lumwini province are the jurisdiction of this office, although Nepalgunj sub-metropolitan city is the biggest commercial center in Karnali province and Far West province. Since Ratna Highway is the only way to enter Karnali province, starting from Nepalganj sub-metropolitan city of this district and passing through Kohalpur municipality under the district, various types of services flowing from this office have a direct impact on Karnali province as well.
