A.J Nayana  (NCRA-TIFR) and Poonam Chandra (NCRA-TIFR) report:

We carried out Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of GRB 160910A
(Veres et al. 2016., GCN Circ. 19901. , Racusin et al. 2016., GCN Circ. 19902) at 1390
MHz band on 2016 Sep 27.21 UT. We detect a 4-sigma source within the XRT error circle
(D'Ai et al. 2016., GCN Circ. 19904) with a flux density of 185+/-69 uJy. This is likely
to be the radio afterglow of GRB 160910A. Map rms is 35 uJy.


We thank GMRT staff for making these observations possible.
