Trading on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) was halted on Wednesday morning due to a technical glitch. “NSE has multiple telecom links with two service providers to ensure redundancy. We have received communication from both the telecom service providers that there are issues with their links due to which there is an impact on NSE system,” NSE stated on Twitter. “We are working on restoring the systems as soon as possible. In view of the above, all the segments have been closed at 11:40 and will be restored as soon as issue is resolved,” NSE added.
Immediately right after the news broke, meme-makers took to social media in big numbers with hilarious posts. Hashtags like #NSEIndia, #StockMarket place and #Nifty are trending higher on Twitter, which has been flooded with jokes and memes. Take a look at some of the NSE memes that are performing the rounds of social media:
