(UTV|COLOMBO) – Japan is considering adopting daylight saving time next year so that athletes in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games can compete in cooler hours, reports say.
The proposal to bring clocks forward by two hours has received major opposition on social media with many worried it would result in longer working hours.
At least 120 people have died in a record heatwave since July.
The government says it is yet to decide on the move but does want to limit the effect of summer heat on the athletes.
