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

We carried out Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of
GRB 151027A (GCN Circ. 18478) at 1390 MHz band on 2015 Nov 15.19 UT. We
detect the  radio afterglow of the GRB in the Swift error circle (GCN 
Circ. 18482).
The 1390 MHz band flux density of the afterglow is 312+/-64 uJy. Map rms is
37 uJy.

Further observations are planned. We thank GMRT staff for making these
observations possible.
