Village structure

The village is divided into 3 parts which developed based on its growth:

Older Village inside redline (inside the Darwazas)
Andarli Firni (1st Firni, inner ring)
Bahrli Firni (2nd Firni, outer ring)
Halwara Road Extension
Rattowal Road Extension
Leel Road Extension

Before 1950, all villagers lived within the redline area between two Darwazas (known as Vadda Darwaza and Shera Vala Darwaza). The houses are small traditional Punjabi houses.

After 1950, people started moving toward outside the redline. The 1st Firni was drawn in a ring shape outside the redline area for use as a common road. Houses were built in this area until circa 1980, at which time the village needed another Firni because of lack of space. Housing continued to be built in this outer ring area.

In the present, people are moving toward the outer roads of Toosa, which connect to nearby villages. check out the blog of the village here.
