Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

Anti-Smuggling Day is observed annually on February 11 to raise awareness about the threats posed by smuggling to national security and the economy. Organized by FICCI’s CASCADE initiative, this day highlights the dangers of illegal trade, including arms smuggling, fake currency circulation, and drug trafficking. Smuggling not only weakens economic stability by causing revenue losses but also strengthens organized crime and terrorist activities. By promoting international cooperation and coordinated enforcement efforts, Anti-Smuggling Day serves as a crucial reminder of the need to combat illicit trade through awareness campaigns, seminars, and policy discussions.
