Creating awareness about counterfeit and smuggled items is a must as it will act as a deterrent for the illicit market operations and give fillip to the economy, said a senior police officer.
Vivek Gogia, Special Commissioner of Police (Training), while addressing a training programme organised by FICCI CASCADE (Committee Against Smuggling and Counterfeiting Activities Destroying the Economy), said various studies have showed that counterfeiting and smuggling is largest in medicines, cigarettes and drugs and partnerships among stakeholders are vital in addressing this issue.
