Sonu Sood has been helping migrant workers reach their home in various parts of the country. Recently, he helped 167 migrant workers stuck in Kerala reach their home in Orissa. Sood arranged a special chartered flight for their journey. The 147 women and 20 men were transported by Air Asia's flight from Kochi to  Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar. 

Most of these Odia women worked for the textile sector in Kerala, doing stitching and embroidery work. According to reports, they have been trying to reach home for several weeks now. Their troubles came to an end when someone on Twitter posted about it and brought the situation to Sonu Sood's attention. Although it was proposed initially to bring back these women by either train or bus, the actor offered to send them by a chartered flight instead. 

In a statement by Sonu Sood, he said that when he stepped forward to help the stranded migrant workers all he had in his mind was to reunite them with their families. Taking to his Twitter account, Rajya Sabha MP Amar Patnaik thanked the actor. Here's what he tweeted:
