In a major set back to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has asked the civic body to recover Rs 127.21 crore from contractors who supplied water meters. It asked the BMC, controlled by the Shiv Sena, to recover this amount in six months. "If the contractors fail to repay the amount, a legal case should be filed against them," the PAC stated in its recommendations.
