The Rat Catchers of New Delhi

New Delhi's government has a rat catching department - only, it hasn't caught a single rodent in more than a decade. There are currently 97 rat catchers on the municipal payroll, all working for the Rat Surveillance Department, a decades-old agency that last saw any action in 1994, when a plague outbreak killed 56 people in areas of nw India, The Hindustan Times reported. Each rat catcher earns about 3,500 rupees a month for catching (about $80), but there are no records of any rodents ever being caught. (Sounds to me like they're qualified to be corporate executives here in the U.S. of Capitalism!)
