Rats were most common in the modern newly built areas of Hanoi.
To get rid of rats, a 'Rat-Hunt' was started in 1902.
The French hired Vietnamese workers and paid them for each rat they caught.
Rats began to be caught in thousands but still there seemed to be no interest.
Those who did the dirty work of entering sewers found that if they came together, they could get more money.
The bounty was paid when a tail was given as a proof that a rat had been killed.
So the rat catchers took to just clipping the tails and releasing the rats, so that the process could be repeated over and over again.
Ultimately, the French were forced to stop the bounty programme.
Besides this arrangement, the plague swept through the area.
