❖ The IIT-Gandhinagar has found fresh evidence on Lothal which can confirm the dockyard’s existence.

❖ The study has revealed that the Sabarmati River used to flow by Lothal (currently, it flows 20 km away from the location) during the Harappan Civilisation.

❖ There was also a travel route connecting Ahmedabad, through Lothal, the Nal Sarovar wetland, and the Little Rann, to Dholavira — another Harappan site.
