Barring the way of fake drugs
In order to highlight the magnitude of illicit trade activities such as counterfeiting and smuggling, FICCI CASCADE organized a press conference, preceding the seminar, on ‘Illicit Trade – A Threat to our National Interest’ on October 15th, 2015 in Hyderabad. Mr. Ravi Verma (IPS), Deputy Inspector General of Police, Telangana was the key speaker at the press conference. Mr. Verma stated that the magnitude of counterfeiting and smuggling was significant and was affecting India’s growth trajectory. He said that information sharing between the stakeholders was very important to contain the menace. In this regard, he observed that developing a list of regular offenders across the country and sharing of this data by the police departments across the states would be an effective step.
