[1] Additionally, the town serves as the headquarters for various administrative entities, including a tehsil, sub-division, block, municipal committee, and constituency, all bearing the name Kalakote.

[8] The primary objective of this block is to oversee rural development and infrastructure across all villages falling under the Kalakote tehsil.

The chairman and members of the municipality are elected every five years through a process overseen by the district administration of Rajouri.

However, after the abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution,[11] there has been a transition to Governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir, and consequently, there are no MLAs representing constituencies, including Kalakote.

In the beginning of the 1950s, a thermal power station was established at Kalakote to utilize the local coal resources.

The town experiences a humid subtropical, dry climate with a yearly temperature of 28.16 °C (82.69 °F), which is 2.19% higher than the Indian average.

Kalakote tehsil shares its boundaries with Nowshera in the east, Reasi in the west, Rajouri and Kotranka in the north, and Sunderbani and Siot in the south.

The region receives approximately 22.15 millimeters (0.87 inches) of precipitation annually, occurring over 28.48 rainy days (7.8% of the time).

Additionally, 718 people work as agricultural laborers in Kalakote, with 588 men and 130 women involved in this occupation.

Kalakote is renowned for its diverse religious landscape, boasting a prominent Hindu temple, gurudwara, and a mosque.

Additionally, there are three more hospitals currently under construction in different parts of the tehsil, aimed at further improving medical facilities in the area.

Kalakote is a developing tehsil in Rajouri district, Jammu and Kashmir, where almost every village is now well-connected through a network of single-lane roads.

Additionally, this highway facilitates access to 14 other villages within the tehsil, fostering better connectivity and transportation in the region.

The central transportation artery in Kalakote is a 22-kilometre (14 mi) single-lane road that connects the town directly to the NH-144A at Siot.

The large temple dates back to 9th-10th century A.D and is similar to Buniyar templend Deltha Mandir in Baramula district.

It consists of main shrine, a rectangular peristyle with 55 cells facing to the courtyard and double chambered gateway in the middle of eastern wall.

Thousands of people throng the place from June to ending November every year from within and outside the state to take a dip in springs.
