The latest outburst of recurrent nova U Sco has been reported by Masayuki Moriyama on 2022 June 6.72 UT (VSNET Alert N0:26798). We carried out upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) observations of U Sco in band-5 (1000-1460 MHz) on 2022 June 13.85 UT (t ~ 7.13 days post-discovery). We do not detect radio emission from U Sco at 1.4 GHz. The 3-sigma upper limit on the flux density at the source position is 150 uJy. The map resolution is 5.27 X 2.99 arcsec^2 and map rms is 50 uJy/beam More observations are planned. We thank the uGMRT staff for carrying out the observations.
