Twenty seven resorts constructed on the elephant corridor in the Nilgiris District without prior approval would be sealed tomorrow as per the order of the Supreme Court, official sources said.
An order to this effect was issued today by the District Collector Innocent Divya, they said.
Officials from local administration, revenue and police departments would be involved in the sealing process, the sources said, adding the future course of action would be taken after reviewing the situation.
The Collector had yesterday issued the notices to these resorts, coming under the Sigur corridor.
On August 9, the Supreme Court had directed the Tamil Nadu government to seal or close down within 48 hours, the 27 resorts constructed in the elephant corridor.
The court had given the order after perusing a report by the district collector of Nilgiris, as earlier directed by it, which said that resorts were operating in the area even though they do not have approval for the same.
The court had noted that of 39 resorts mentioned,lawyers were not present for 27 such commercial establishments and "it is deemed that they accepted the report of the report."
