Demography
editSargez is a part of a cluster of villages called Baba Tungi. Per survey conducted by Wildlife Conservation Society in 2016, there are 8 households in Sargez with a total population of 100.[2] The residents here own livestock and are involved in dairy production. They send their livestock in winter elsewhere as amanat because the village lacks grazing pastures in cold season.[2][3]
