We report the results of a blind pulsar survey carried out with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope ( GMRT ) at 325 MHz .
The survey covered about 10 % of the region between Galactic longitude 45 ^ { \circ } < l < 135 ^ { \circ } and Galactic latitude 1 ^ { \circ } < |b| < 10 ^ { \circ } with a dwell time of 1800 s , resulting in the detection of 28 pulsars .
One of these , PSR J1838+1523 , was previously unknown and has a period of 549 ms and a dispersion measure of 68 pc cm - 3 .
We also present the timing solution of this pulsar obtained from multi-frequency timing observations carried out with the GMRT and the Ooty Radio Telescope .
The measured flux density of this pulsar is 4.3 \pm 1.8 and 1.2 \pm 0.7 mJy at 325 and 610 MHz , respectively .
This implies a spectral index of - 2 \pm 0.8 , thus making the expected flux density at 1.4 GHz to be about 0.2 mJy , which would be just detectable in the high frequency pulsar surveys like the Northern High Time Resolution Universe pulsar survey .
This discovery underlines the importance of low frequency pulsar surveys in detecting steep spectrum pulsars , thus providing complementary coverage of the pulsar population .
