Amid the nationwide lockdown, the Odia women, most of whom were engaged in stitching and embroidery work in the textile sector in Kerala, had been trying to return for last several weeks and finally their plight was posted by someone on Twitter, which led to Sood’s help. Initially, it was proposed to bring back the young women by bus or train but Sood offered to send them in a special plane, said an airline official. “When I decided to come forward in support of these migrant workers who have been stranded, all that I had in my mind was how I can help reunite them with their families and homes,” Sonu had said in a statement.
