ALMATY, Kazakhstan: Kazakhstan on Wednesday signalled that it could reverse a controversial change in time zone, a rare concession to public anger in the tightly controlled Central Asian nation.
Kazakhstan in March moved to five hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), forcing most regions of the vast nation -- which spans 3,000-kms east to west -- to turn their clocks back one hour. The move prompted uproar from citizens who said it disrupted their biological rhythm and frustration has not subsided.
