During GMRT observation time on both days, micro flares have been observed by RHESSI satellites in the range of (3 – 10) keV. Detailed investigation of the X- ray emission shows the presence of both thermal and non-thermal components. Imaging analysis of one of the micro flares in x ray shows the RHESSI data can produce image with resolution of 7". Here we report an investigation of simultaneous 1.28 GHz radio activity and 3-10 keV X-ray observations of solar X-ray micro flares as observed on November 20 th.
