It is a predominantly rural area with 92.34% of the population living in rural areas against 7.66% in the urban areas.

All these areas are spread across partly this district and partly the neighbouring districts.[1][2][3] Note: The map alongside presents some of the notable locations in the district. All places marked in the map are linked in the larger full screen map.
