Mauritius to re-introduce DST

Mauritius plans to observe DST from 2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31 on a trial basis. Some information about it from sources there: http://www.lexpress.mu/display_search_result.php?news_id=109689 (French) http://www.mcci.org/readmorechamber.aspx?id=359 Based on the articles like those above and contact with government officials, we have written more about it here: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/mauritius-daylight-saving-time.html It seems that Mauritius observed daylight saving time from 1982-10-10 to 1983-03-20 as well, but that was not successful. Current zoneinfo or Shanks/Pottenger do not contain any details about this 1982-83 change. Best regards, Steffen Thorsen / timeanddate.com
