Lepa Rada district, with headquarters at Basar, is one of the 25 districts of Arunachal Pradesh state in northeastern India. Lepa Rada falls under 29-Basar Assembly Constituency and 1-West Parliamentary Constituency. The district is centrally located, hence the name Lepa Rada (Lepa means centre and Rada means bulls-eye like in Archery). Basar, Tirbin, Dari and Sago are 4 administrative circles of the district. [2][3] It was created from the West Siang district by bifurcating its southern areas along Assam border into a new district.
