The official Twitter account of the Collector and District Magistrate of Ganjam, Odisha, on Monday responded to a tweet by actor Sonu Sood where he claims he has arranged for a bed at Ganjam City Hospital in Brahmapur for a patient.

No bed issues @BrahmapurCorp is monitoring it. @CMO_Odisha," the official Twitter account of the Collector and District Magistrate of Ganjam, tweeted on Monday tagging the Twitter handle of the Office of the Chief Minister of Odisha.

Ur office is doing a great job & u can double check that we had helped him too. Have DM you his contact details. Jai hind."

To which Sonu replied: " Thank you so much for your kind words.Our team is always there 24/7 for our country. Doesn't really matter who calls me when and where I will try my best to reach out to the needy. Jai Hind"
