The rural portion of the township contains 168 villages grouped into 57 village tracts. In April 2022, the township was promoted to become its own district, splitting off from North Yangon District.
The township's Paunglin Dam and Ngamoeyeik Reservoir supply water to over 28,300 hectares (70,000 acres) of farmland between Hlegu and Mingaladon, and nearly 340 million liters (90 million gallons) of water a day to the people living in Yangon. The township is prone to flooding from the Ngamoeyeik River and Bago River. In 2014, floods affected 3000 people in the villages of Ngwenanthar, Malit, Sinhpon, Sitpinmyauk and Yaekyaw villages. Blockages in drainage systems also caused severe flooding in Tadagyi village in rural Hlegu Towsnhip.
The new Yangon–Mandalay Expressway cuts through the township.
