I have created new commands:
$ signal add 2 proc
This command will add proc in a table and will execute it if signal no
2(SIGINT) occurs.
Now I am pressing Ctrl C. handler() should be called to set the token
and when safe, handler_safe() should be called which in turn should
call proc.

What is happening in my case is handler() is setting the token but
handler_safe() is not being called after that. When I am trying to
execute some other command on the command line, then the handler_safe()
is being called.

I am not using any multithreading. I think the Tcl takes care of
checking the token and if the token is set then run the handler_safe().
