Stock exchanges and SEBI have enhanced their surveillance mechanism to monitor any illegal activities in the market in view of the high-octane elections.
The enhanced monitoring and surveillance systems were already in place on Monday, the first trading session after the declaration of the exit poll results. These systems will be ramped up on 23 May 2019 when the Lok Sabha election results are out.
The exit poll results may have a bearing on trading and the increased surveillance will help monitor any possible volatility and manipulations in the stock markets. Manipulators are known to exploit such situations to their advantage.
