Ahmedabad: Gujarat has seen something special recently where archaeologists say that the Karim Shahi and Vigakot sites of Gujarat date from 2100 BC to the 5th century. These places, located on the border of Kutch and Pakistan, highlight how human settlements were affected by climate change during the Harappan civilization. Scientists at IIT Kharagpur, Deccan College, PRL Ahmedabad, Kolkata University and Kutch University say that studies of these places will show how people here are reduced due to the decrease in rain, drying up of local rivers and changing weather. Settled in other places. In the last three years, this team has published its study.

Exodus started due to climate change: According to the information received, Anindya Sarkar, IIT Kharagpur Professor, says, “Due to natural climate change people were forced to leave their native places. The United Nations today calls such people climate refugees or climate refugees. We think that this excavation gives us evidence of such a huge exodus that started during the peak period of the Harappan civilization. '

Water conservation measures are also proof of this: On the other hand, sources say, at places like Dhaulavira of Harappan civilization, we find excellent examples of water conservation and management. These indicate that there was a change in the weather.
