It is considered to be the sencond largest city in Morang District after Biratnagar, the capital city of province No.1. At the time of the 1991 census, it had a population of 18,224. At the time of the 2011 census, it had a population of 35,166 and 8,165 households.

         It is located 60 km eastern part of the metropolitan city Biratnagar. According to the declaration as a municipality from the government on 2071-01-25 to Urlabari, Morang.

From 2071 census, the total population is 54,696 where 29,548 are the women and 25,148 are men lived with 12,530 households.

         Urlabari is surrounded by Letang Municipality in the west, Damak municipality in the east, Miklajung Rural municipality in the north and Ratuwamai municipality in the south.

         People living in hilly areas are not able to get health care service. Due to not getting treatment in time, a compelling situation has been created where one has to die untimely. The service provided by Government and non-government private hospitals and clinics established in northern side of Municipality are not satisfactory. Due to the difficult topography, it is difficult to get timely medical treatment for the people of this community.

 

Although there are government bodies and non-governmental organizations in Urlabari Municipality, they have not done much to raise public awareness about medical treatment and health issue among the target groups and communities in rural and urban areas. Most of the organizations are unable to focus on this issue seriously. The energetic, meticulous, devoted, enthusiastic members and founder members of the SherBahadur Shrestha, Pratisdhan have taken this issue seriously and immediately raised public awareness about health which is demanded by the people of different areas for providing health services accessible to all communities.

The majority of the population living in and around this area is densely populated by former Indian Army and current serving Army families. Statistics show that almost 30% of the total population here is from Indian Army families. People from here and other areas have been forced to enlist in the army due to a lack of employment opportunities.

Moreover, Urlabari Municipality lies in Morang District. Morang District has easy access to get to India for joining the army force because its border is connected with the Bihar State of India.
