191 addicts flee rehab center in Mekong Delta

Nguyen Thanh Binh, the center's director, reported that as of Sunday, authorities had recaptured approximately 80 escapees, while four were returned by their families. Efforts to locate the remaining fugitives are ongoing.

The escape occurred on Saturday afternoon following a dispute among around 20 individuals, escalating into a larger conflict. By 5 p.m., a group had demolished the main gate and fled through adjacent paths and rice fields. The chaos enabled additional residents to escape.
