A.J Nayana  (NCRA-TIFR), Poonam Chandra (NCRA-TIFR), A. R. Rao (TIFR), Dipankar
Bhattacharya (IUCAA) and Varun Bhalerao (IUCAA) report:

We carried out Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations of GRB 160703A (Cenko
et al. GCN Circ. 19645) at 1460 MHz band on 2016 Aug 11.79 UT. We detect a faint source
at the GRB position (Cenko et al. GCN Circ. 19645) with a flux density of 166+/-46 uJy.
This is most likely the radio afterglow of GRB 160703A. Map rms is 40 uJy.

We thank GMRT staff for making these observations possible.
