As per the Constitution of India and the Panchyati Raj Act, Noney is administrated by Sarpanch (head of the village) who is the elected representative of the village. People often describe the place as a village, but it has recently grown into a town, numbered with different people from different parts of Tamenglong. It is also considered the fastest developing place in Tamenglong district. It is a commercial location for every village around the Nungba and many other divisions of the district. The temperatures are slightly high compared to other places in Manipur, due to the clearing of hills for the development of railway track and sub-station. But as far as the knowledge is concerned its the best places in the whole district for a river flow in the middle of the town, making it possible for every developing segment.

Nationalist Congress Party, Indian National Congress, Naga People's Front, Manipur State Congress Party, and Bharatiya Janata Party are the major political parties in this area.
