Balawa

Southern Asia

Balawa is a municipality in Mahottari District, in the Madhesh Province of southern Nepal (listed as Province No. 2 when the article was written). It was formed in 2016 by combining eleven former village development committees, and its territory is organised into eleven wards. The municipality covers an area of about 44.07 square kilometres and had a recorded population of 42,341 people. Like the other municipalities of the Mahottari plain, it is a local government unit created in the reorganisation that replaced the old village development committees with larger urban and rural municipalities, so its identity today is administrative as much as historical.
