Living Conditions

As typical with the third world city's down town, most of the living necessities are below standard in Mochi Pura. Although it is densely populated, yet it insufficient sewerage system, water supply system and power supply system.

Important Days

Once in a year, Urs/Mela at the local Mizar related to Baba Dulla is celebrated with great enthusiasm. Participation of children in the mela is worth looking.
