Mauritius to re-introduce DST

Wed Jun 25 10:31:54 UTC 2008

Mauritius plans to observe DST from 2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31 on a trial 
basis.

Some information about it from sources there:

Based on the articles like those above and contact with government 
officials, we have written more about it here:

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.
