Swami Vivekananda's life time works have been displayed in the two coaches in an endeavour to highlight the selfless service rendered by the great sanyasi to the cause of humanity, NF Railway spokesman S Hajong said here today.

The exhibition will be kept open for public from 08.00 am to 08.00 pm and all are requested to visit the exhibition to pay a fitting tribute to the great social worker of India.
