KATHMANDU-The government has decided to establish 23 new Area District Administration Offices (DPOs) across different districts to improve the delivery of public services. The decision was discussed in a cabinet meeting on Monday and has now been forwarded to the Cabinet’s Administration Committee for further review.

According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, the main goal of opening these new offices is to make public services more accessible and effective. The new DPOs are expected to reduce existing gaps in population coverage, geographical access, and service delivery.

The MoHA said the new offices will help balance the workload and make it easier for people in remote or underserved areas to access administrative services. The ministry also mentioned that more Area DPOs will be established in the future in regions where such gaps continue to exist.
