necessary arrangements vs do the needful

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Necessary arrangements' is commonly used to refer to the required preparations or actions that need to be taken. On the other hand, 'do the needful' is a more formal and old-fashioned way of asking someone to take care of a task or situation.
