Chennai: Makkal Needhi Maiam founder Kamal Haasan today said Cyclone Gaja should be announced as an L3 level disaster, which is the highest one.
“The alertness shown by the government before the cyclone was lacking in carrying out relief work which reflects in the form of anger from the victims,” he said, speaking to mediapersons at Tiruchi.
