Once the war was over, several persons of Montargull were imprisoned after being betrayed by a single person.
During the 40s the imprisoned people started returning to the village, as they benefited from term exemptions, but there were a couple of cases who remained in jail until the end of the decade.

During the 50s there were still a lot of people living in the village.
At each house there were several generations of the same family, and there were a lot of children and young people.
Electricity arrived in 1955, simultaneously to Anya and Vall-llebrera.
Telephone service had been inaugurated by the Mancomunitat on May 8, 1921, when Artesa de Segre was connected with Vall-llebrera and Montargull.

Towards the end of the 50s the ceiling of the old Sant Mary of Montargull church collapsed, during the patron festival of Montargull.
Due to a last minute problem the priest could not officiate and this was crucial to avoid some casualties at the collapse.
The religious celebrations were held at the school from them on and until the new church was constructed at the end of the 70s.

Once the economic growth is recovered at the beginning of the 60s, after a lot of years of autarchy, Montargull starts experiencing a strong emigration, and will end up almost completely depopulated.
Furthermore, a lot of residents prefer to move to the larger cities in the county to get closer to the main services (health, education, and others).
Starting already at the end of the Civil War a lot of families have moved from the upper part of the village to new houses constructed next to the freeway.
Nowadays a lot of the old abandoned houses can still be seen in the former main street of the village, Carrer Major.
