The girls who belong to the Rajnagar block of Kendrapara district and dealing in Ernakulam received Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar by an Air Asia flight from Cochin International Airport. For the uninformed, the women had also posted an image on social media urging Odisha authorities to evacuate them from Kerala as their factory had been closed thanks to lockdown. "Our owner had stopped paying us salaries and that we want to travel home at any cost. we've been stuck in our rooms since the factory pack up," the women within the video said with folded hands.

After the plight of the women became public on social media, actor Sonu Sood came forward to assist them. one among the women who flew back within the Air Asia flight said after reaching home, "We had lost all hopes of going back. We thought we may travel back by bus or the Shramik Special trains. Officials from the Kerala Department of Labor said they’ll put us on a train to Odisha. But all because of Sonu Sood, we managed to fly back to Odisha."
