A model for the origin of giant radio pulses is suggested. Radio emission is generated by the electric discharge taking place due to the magnetic reconnection of field lines connecting the opposite magnetic poles. The reconnection occurs in the region of the light cylinder near the zero line of the magnetic field. The coherent mechanism of radiation is pure maser amplification of Alfvén waves. The radiated frequencies are found.
