Only the first included css file in node js html is being applied

I am adding CSS and JS files to my node.js/express application using ejs templating engine. JS files are being applied but only the first included CSS file is being applied.

Adding via static method.

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

In html

<link href="css/custom.css" rel="stylesheet" title="custom" type="text/css" />
