Abstract : Normal radio galaxies are classified by Fanaroff-Riley type I (FR I) or type II (FR II) from the morphology and surface brightness of the radio jets. There are some radio galaxies which can not be classified as FR I or FR II due to various reasons. We are looking for Irregular radio galaxies from the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey (TGSS) at 150 MHz. We have identified more than thousand of new irregular radio galaxies from our study. Here we will report physical properties of these newly discovered irregular radio galaxies. We will also study various statistical properties of newly discovered irregular galaxies as our findings substantially increases number of known irregular radio galaxies.
