Which of the following is not an indication that the settlement in Mohenjodaro was based on proper planning?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Once the platforms were in place, all building activity within the city was restricted to a fixed area on the platforms. So it seems that the settlement was first planned and then implemented accordingly. Other signs of planning include bricks, which, whether sun-dried or baked, were of a standardized ratio, where the length and breadth were four times and twice the height respectively. Such bricks were used at all Harappan settlements. The drainage system was also highly developed.
