We report on the discovery of three new pulsars in the first blind survey of the north Galactic plane ( 45 ^ { \circ } < l < 135 ^ { \circ } ; |b| < 1 ^ { \circ } ) with the Giant Meterwave Radio telescope ( GMRT ) at an intermediate frequency of 610 MHz .
The survey covered 106 square degrees with a sensitivity of roughly 1 mJy to long-period pulsars ( pulsars with period longer than 1 s ) .
The three new pulsars have periods of 318 , 933 , and 1056 ms. Their timing parameters and flux densities , obtained in follow up observations with the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank and the GMRT , are presented .
We also report on pulse nulling behaviour in one of the newly discovered pulsars , PSR J2208+5500 .
