NEW DELHI, Dec 30 (Reuters) - Indian telecoms company Reliance Communications (RLCM.BO) has repaired cuts in its submarine cable which, along with cuts in two other cables, had disrupted services in parts of the Middle East and South Asia.

The No. 2 Indian mobile firm said in a statement late on Monday it had repaired the FLAG Europe-Asia cable, operated by its international unit Reliance Globalcom.

Three undersea cables owned by different consortiums were damaged on Dec. 19 in the Mediterranean, possibly by a ship's anchor. (Reporting by Devidutta Tripathy; Editing by Lincoln Feast)
