Tengrinews.kz - The survey on the time change in Kazakhstan has disappeared from the eGov mobile app.
Social media users have started complaining that they can no longer find the survey within the app.
"The survey has been removed due to the expiration of its relevance," is the message displayed when users open the "Notifications" section in the app.
Tengrinews.kz contacted the press service of National Information Technology JSC for clarification, but the department declined to comment.
The survey, which had been available in the eGov mobile app, asked Kazakhstanis a series of questions related to time changes: which time zone was relevant to them, what to do with the already set time, what they feel they lack time for during the day, and more.
Earlier, the Ministry of Trade and Integration named the advantages of changing the time.
A resident of Ust-Kamenogorsk has filed a lawsuit in the civil court of Astana against the government of Kazakhstan, demanding that the decision to change the time zone be declared illegal and revoked.
On the night of February 29 to March 1, Kazakhstan switched to a single time zone. Three months later, on June 7, a petition to cancel the time change collected the required 50 thousand signatures.
In August, the Ministry of Trade and Integration announced the final decision regarding the time zone petition. At that time, Minister Arman Shakkaliyev stated that based on substantiated scientific international studies on the positive effects of standard time zones and the absence of evidence of negative health impacts, a decision was made to deny the petition.
