The local body officials here have cancelled approval of 66 buildings, which were under construction, for violating the plan approved by the authorities.
The inspection of buildings were carried out following reports that land slips and building collapse could occur in this hill station if building rules were not strictly implemented, official sources said here.
The officials ordered that the construction works of the buildings be stopped immediately.
A four member team of building inspectors from various municipalities were assessing 1533 buildings in connection with cases filed against them for building plan violations.
Kodaikanal municipal commissioner Vijayakumar said no building activity would be permitted without proper approval from authorities and construction materials of those violators would be seized.
Permission would be given only to construct ground floor and first floor, he said.
