Pandey (ARIES NainiTal), on behalf of \nlarger Indian GRB collaboration\n\nWe observed several R_c band frames of the GRB 041006 optical afterglow, \ndetermined the magnitudes in comparison with the stars A and B as reported \nin GCN 2792 using 1.04-m telescope of ARIES Nainital India. The OT decayed \nby ~ 0.5 mag from Oct 6.75 to Oct 6.91 UT.\n\nPreliminary R_c - band magnitudes are:\n\nOct 6.776284   19.81  0.05\nOct 6.830509   20.00  0.05\nOct 6.862395   20.02  0.05\nOct 6.877175   20.18  0.06\n\nThe temporal flux decay index is ~ -1.0. We did not notice any considerable \nsteepening in the light curve using our data set.\n\nThis massage may be cited.",
